Abstract

Introduction to computer aided design and drafting in 2D and 3D with examples from structural engineering.

Objective

Having followed the course, students are able to a develop a 2D-structure (formwork drawing) and they know the principle of a reinforcement module. They have also got an introduction to a 3D program (reinforcement in 3D). They are therefore better prepared for - the bachelor thesis in the 6th semester, - an eventual internship between bachelor and master course, - the project works in the master course, - the master thesis. Above all they practice spatial sense and acquire contextual knowledge as future superiors of draftsmen and designers.

Content

Dimensioning. Generation of sections and views. Application of the reinforcement module. Production of plans ready for delivery.
