SOLIDWORKS

SolidWorks is a 3D CAD software tool that transports all tasks involved in product development into the visual and electronic 3D world for better collaboration. With its intuitive interface, and a wide range of specialized and compatible products to support all design and engineering functions, SolidWorks promises to:

• Shortened design cycle
• Increased productivity of engineers and designers
• Faster delivery of innovative products

WHY SHOULD YOU LEARN?

3D modeling is being preferred not only by customers, but also by engineers and designers because they offer many advantages over the traditional 2D design. So, you need to learn 3D CAD, and SolidWorks is one of the widely used 3D CAD tools in the industry.
SolidWorks can help you convert your ideas into product designs quickly, and effectively. Even without having any prior experience in animation, you as an engineer or designer can produce an animated movie of your 3D product design almost instantly. This will help you communicate your product ideas better to a non-technical person.
SolidWorks comes with libraries of over one million pre-built or pre-designed components, so you don’t have to re-design industry standard components – like screws, nuts, bearings, etc.
SolidWorks is focusing on growing a community of designers/engineers who are actively publishing their drawings online. There are millions of 3D drawings available for you to use or get inspirations.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At CADD Centre, we help you master the following compatibilities of SolidWorks:

• CAD Animation: How to create a 3D, animated movie of your product design
• Product Data Management: How to keep, reuse, repurpose all design data in a secure way
• Revision Control: How to keep track of the changes you make to your evolving product design, and also monitor changes each revisions bring to your overall design and manufacturing cost
• Costing: How to check your design against manufacturing cost, and how to automatically generate manufacturing cost, as you design
• Part and Assembly: How to design parts and assemblies of parts
• Tolerance Analysis: How to analyze the tolerance levels of each individual part separately, as well as all that of parts when functioning collectively
• CAD Library: How to increase productivity by making use of CAD library
• Interference Check: How to check the way all parts fit among themselves, and operate as intended

LEARNING OUTCOME

• You will quickly design product concepts because you can use scanned 3D data, imported images, or simple sketches to demonstrate the initial concept.
• You will create an electronic workflow that will cover all tasks right from conception of design, to prototyping to testing for the manufacturability of your design.
• You will keep all your design data and design intellectual property in multiple file formats and manage them in a safe, centralized place. You can let your team collaborate with you at any stage of product development.
• You will be a productive, innovative, and communicative designer/engineer, with an ability to work with people spanning different disciplines

ANSYS WORKBENCH 

ANSYS offers a suite of engineering simulation software for engineers and designers to virtually analyze how their products (and thousands of parts in them) work in real world environment, at an early stage of product design.

ANSYS software is being used across a wide range of industries to analyze various performance parameters such as signal integrity, electromagnetic interference, thermal issues, and mechanical failure.

WHY SHOULD YOU LEARN?

Since, engineering simulation helps companies avoid the cost of product failure, companies are investing in creating virtual simulation platforms. Big brands are driven by great products, and great products result mainly from realistic simulation.

Traditionally, companies would design parts or subsystems in different engineering silos, and then subject their prototypes to physical tests at the later stage of product design. However, this physical testing will not give enough data for companies that produce smart products: cars, cell phones, wind turbines, etc that use thousands of components. Hence, virtual engineering simulation is increasingly preferred. Knowing how to do it is an important engineering software skill.

ANSYS has a whole set of products for you to perform simulation of structural aspects of a single product or complex interactions of subsystems. It will help you understand how products would work not only in ideal environments but also changing users environments or during unexpected consumer usage.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At CADD Centre, we help you master the following capabilities of engineering simulation using ANSYS:

• Systems & Multi Physics
• Electromagnetics
• Fluid Dynamics
• Structural Mechanics
• Geometry Interfaces
• High-performance Computing
• Simulation Process & Data Management

Our courses will make use of ANSYS Fluent, ANSYS HFSS, ANSYS Mechanical and ANSYS RedHawk and other ANSYS products.

LEARNING OUTCOME

• You will be know how to simulate and validate the performance of products of all manufacturing sectors including automotive, power electronic products, electronic equipment, electromechanical devices, and electrical systems.
• You will know how to simulate every structural aspect, including linear static analysis, of a single part of a complex assembly with hundreds of components interacting through contacts or relative motions.
• You will know how to perform fluid flow analysis to know the impact of fluid flows on your product while manufacturing and when used by customers in real world applications.
• With your mastery in simulation, you will contribute not only to success of products but also cost management, product integrity, designing smart products, and reduced time-to-market.

 CREO 

Creo, from PTC, is a complete suite of concept design, 2D, 3D, simulation & analysis engineering software. What is unique about Creo is that it has taken into account how product design and development is done in modern days, using diverse tools, with the participation of people of a variety of skills, from different geographical locations.

The key promises of Creo tools include: faster time-to-market, product quality, design efficiency; minimum errors, less scrap and rework.

WHY SHOULD YOU LEARN?

Product designers and engineers are required to have complete knowledge of developing a product design virtually. Creo comes with all the tools that are required for completing a product design.

Creo’s wide range of products facilitate both engineers and casual users capture and contribute ideas graphically, and take their fleeting concepts into physical products within the same environment, though idea can be contributed using over 200 document types such as Microsoft Word to MCAD to ECAD drawings.

While CAD users can make use of parametric design software from Creo, they can easily collaborate with infrequent or non-CAD users as the software lets them do 3D direct modeling.

Creo makes conversion of 2D to 3D, and usage of 3D geometry for simulation and analysis possible.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At CADD Centre, we help you master the following capabilities of Creo:

• Creo’s 2D solutions: Creo’s Sketch, Layout, and Schematics products allow users to quickly sketch ideas, diagram complex systems, and create detailed engineering concept drawings.
• Creo’s 3D solutions: Creo’s Parametric, Direct, and Options Modular, lets users create 3D models by advanced CAD users as well as casual users.
• Simulation: Creo’s Stimulate lets users do virtual prototyping to avoid creating multiple physical prototypes, and over designing of products.
• Visualization: Creo’s MCAD, ECAD, View Mobile, and Illustrate modules help engineers and designers visualize all product data available in any media formats.

LEARNING OUTCOME

• You will know how to sketch, model, validate design and visualize product design.
• You will know how to do free form, 2D, and evolutionary concept designs; do detailed designing and making late-stage design changes; and you will also know how to diagram electrical, mechanical and hydraulic systems.
• You will know how to do direct drafting, direct modeling as well as parametric 3D modeling.
• You will know how to validate a design with engineering simulation and check whether the product design can meet the functional requirements. CAE analysts and designers can test a product for tolerance, behaviour, mechanism dynamics, mechanical motion, performance dimensions, electric clearances, and creepage.
