Course detail

Automotive industry CAD

FSI-QC0Acad. year: 2025/2026

The course enables the acquisition of all the necessary information for basic mastery of design work on the computer in the Creo Parametric system. The student will learn to create 3D models in an optimal way. He will gain experience in the field of reverse engineering, model modifications and possible export of 3D data for 3D printing or for purposes of computational modeling.

Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

2

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Guarantor

Ing. Aleš Prokop, Ph.D.

Department

Institute of Automotive Engineering (ÚADI)

Entry knowledge

Basic knowledge of technical drawing and the ability to design work, as well as an elementary ability to understand the spatial structure of visualized 3D objects.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The course-unit credit award is conditional on active participation in the exercises, where the ability to design work in the Creo Parametric software is continuously checked.

Attendance in exercises is compulsory, participation is checked by the teacher. The form of replacement of missed lessons is solved individually with the lecturer or with the guarantor.

Aims

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the approach to modeling in the basic modules of the Creo Parametric software.

The graduate of the course is able to implement his technical skills through the Creo Parametric software and is able to choose the optimal modeling procedure according to the established rules.

The graduate will gain practical experience in tasks in the field of reverse engineering (3D scanning of a specific component and subsequent processing of the geometry) and will thus be able to choose a strategically appropriate and effective approach.
