CREATION OF A SOLID PRODUCT MODEL IN AN AUTOMATED DESIGN SYSTEM - EFFECTIVE PREPARATION OF THE STUDENT FOR FUTURE ENGINEERING ACTIVITIES

Abstract

Geometric modeling in the computer-aided design system "KOMPAS 3D" allows you to create three-dimensional models of complex parts, as well as design products. The design of products is carried out using models of parts, assembly units and standard products. An extensive library of their models has been developed for standard products in the system. Based on product models, the system allows you to receive in a semi-automatic mode the necessary design documentation: assembly drawing, specification and working drawings of parts. 
 In the COMPASS system, it is possible to design products of various complexity in a continuous process: from product components to finished devices. In this case, it is possible to obtain the necessary documentation in semi-automatic mode. Our detailed methodology for modeling complex composite products allows us to cover a wide range of students who are able to independently design various products.
 In the distance learning mode, individual work of the teacher with the student is not a simple but necessary task. Conducting such work with students significantly expands their capabilities in designing, performing technical documentation, develops students' abilities for creative search and prepares for future engineering activities.
