Course Contents:

Sketcher Workbench

The Sketcher Workbench is the foundation for creating 2D profiles that form the basis of 3D models. This course covers sketch operations such as trimming, extending, translating, rotating, mirroring, applying symmetry, closing, and complementing. Learners will also explore constraining sketches and performing sketch analysis. The differences between first-angle and third-angle projection methods are explained in detail, along with isometric, orthographic, and perspective views.

Part Design Workbench

The Part Design Workbench provides tools for creating solid part models. Students will learn to use features such as Pad, Pocket, Shaft, Groove, Hole, Rib, Slot, Multi-Section Solid, and Remove Multi-Section Solid. The course also covers dressing operations, transformation features, surface-based features, and Boolean operations for complex part modeling.

Assembly Design Workbench

Designed parts are combined to form assemblies. The Assembly Design Workbench includes assembly features, constraints, and part manipulation techniques. Learners will practice assembly analysis, use the “Stop Manipulation on Clash” tool, and apply the “Reuse Pattern” tool to streamline assembly creation.

Generative Sheet-Metal Design Workbench

The Sheet-Metal Workbench focuses on creating sheet-metal models using defined parameters. Operations such as rolled walls, bending, cutting, stamping, and transformations are illustrated with practical examples to help learners understand real-world applications.

Drafting Workbench

Detailed engineering drawings are created in the Drafting Workbench. Students will learn to generate 2D views of part, sheet-metal, and assembly models with proper dimensioning. The course also covers the application of surface roughness symbols, feature control frames, and welding symbols. The procedure for inserting frames and title blocks is explained comprehensively.

Generative Shape Design Workbench

The Generative Shape Design (GSD) Workbench is a powerful environment for wireframe and surface modeling. Learners will explore tools such as sweeps, blends, fills, and offsets to create complex 3D shapes. The course emphasizes managing design intent and producing smooth, manufacturable surfaces. Hybrid design—integrating Part Design with surfaces—is explained thoroughly with practical examples
