Parametric Modeling

Catalog description

Parametric modeling introduces students to Parametric Computer Aided Design (CAD). Students contextualize parametric CAD software within the current landscape of CAD technologies and how different types of parametric CAD (BIM, solid modeling, visual programming) apply to common design problems. The class then focuses on one common parametric modeling software to teach the basics of 2D drafting, 3D modeling and parametric workflows, focusing on the unique capabilities and efficiencies offered by parametric CAD.
