Summary

The design of manufactured products requires a 3D modelling phase, both for mechanical systems and for object design. The use of a 3D parametric modeler is an essential step for anyone wishing to develop a concept in this context. Any innovative mechanical system is based on a well thought-out assembly of clearly identified recurring technical functions (guidance, sealing, lubrication, power transmission). In addition, this task requires teamwork in a collaborative environment through Product Lifecycle Management (PLM).

Educational goals

At the end of the course, the student will be able to: - Use an industrial parametric modeler (modeling, assembly and overall drawing). - To produce a robust and original solution that meets an imposed set of specifications. - Selecting, sizing and integrating common industry standard components to fulfill the requirements of the desired features.

Sustainable development goals

Knowledge control procedures

Continuous Assessment
Comments: - 3 Online self-assessment of parametric modelling skills after each phase (modeling basis, context modeling, assembly). 1 evaluation weekly on weeks 2, 3 and 4. - 3 evaluations of parametric modelling skills at the end of each phase (modeling basics, in-context design, assembly). 1 weekly evaluation on weeks 3,4 and 5. - 1 Individual continuous evaluation (tutoring during the bibliographic synthesis phases). Weeks 3, 4 and 5. - 1 Evaluation of the amphitheatre presentation (teamwork of 4). Week 5. - 1 Individual continuous monitoring of design work (project phase) Week 6, 7 and 8. - 1 Evaluation of the final work release (digital model and prototype). Week 8

Pedagogy

This class is divided into 3 phases with different approaches: -Learning 3D parametric modelers (individual work): As these tools are highly documented online, learning will be partly autonomous by studying a predefined structure (Moodle with triggering of the next session after validation of a quizz). A session will follow tutored to answer questions that students will not have been able to handle independently. Some online exercises will be available for self-assessment. -Becoming familiar with the main recurring features in mechanical design and standard components to address them (teamwork of 4 students): In this section, 16 themes will be proposed. Based on a bibliography and keywords, each team should organize to select relevant content to answer the following questions: Principles of operation, application examples, calculation instructions (PER). Following this individual work, an AME session should allow the team to synthesize their research in order to submit and validate the content with a teacher. After validation, the team will be required to produce a 20-minute class sequence that they will present to other teams in amphitheatre. The synthesis will be posted on Moodle to make it accessible to all. Note1: These first two phases take place in parallel over the first 5 weeks. - Design project (teamwork of 4 students) This last part will propose to the students to answer a set of specifications using all the concepts and tools seen in the first two parts. A teacher will follow 4 teams and ensure a follow-up function and advice to guide students through this project. Each team will deliver a digital mock-up. Note 2: During team activities, the teams will be of different constitution in order to ensure that in each team of the project, the students will have explored 4 technological themes.
