Computer Aided
Design (CAD) Development needs a lot of programming fundamentals including
knowledge of architectural and design patterns. Initially the course
concentrates on the programming in C and C++ and OS concepts. After
that, fundamentals of data structures, CAD architectural
design patterns etc are covered. CAGD (Computer Aided Geometric Design) is one
of the main topics which has lot of demand in the industry and
hence it is covered at great length. We lay lot of stress in understanding curves and
surfaces mathematically as well as algorithmically. Concepts of
Computer Graphics are thoroughly demonstrated using OpenGL, HOOPS3d and OpenSceneGraph
libraries. CAD customization technology is introduced using SolidWorks
API training using C++ and Visual Basic.
Parasolid Geometric
Kernel Training is distinctive feature of the course. CCTech is the first
organization in India to offer Parasolid training in a curriculum.
Parasolid is a main stream geometric kernel using which more than 400
CAD/CAE/graphics software have been developed. Parasolid gives unique
advantage to our DACAD student over other entrants in this field.
The rest of the course is structured to cater to latest events in the
industry and it is updated every six months.
Program Structure
 |
The
curriculum is distributed in several modules like programming Languages,
Graphics, Computer Aided Geometric Design, Geometric Kernel ,CAD
customization and CAD software architectural patterns.
|
|
|
The
training program consists of a number of conventional lectures which
includes fundamental, core and advanced topics. To bridge the gap between theory and practice, students
undertake mini projects after one month and major projects near the end course.
The details of the course is provided below.
