Subject syllabus

1. Familiarization with the installation and operation of the application for 3D design, basic principle, application (sketch, part, assembly, parametric modeling)
2. Getting to know the environment, ribbons and menus, graphics window, saving files, file versions, zoom, panning, coordinate system, drawing scale, setting units and properties
3. Drawing basic objects in the component sketch environment, coordinate system, planes and axes of the coordinate system, methods of connecting elements, chamfering and rounding, trimming and extending
4. Drawing with the aim of achieving the creation of a 3D object of the part using the finished sketch, rotation methods, extraction, shell, helix and others
5. Options and adjustments to the created 3D components, creating a sketch and an element on the component, mirroring, fields, extruding, merging, difference, projecting the sketch, working with the working plane
6. Creation of assemblies from components, options for linking components in the coordinate system, options for links between components, export and import of components in different file formats
7. Creation of a model with specific requirements for the model for import into DEM applications
8. Input parameters to DEM and their settings
9. Possibilities of 3D model in the DEM environment, programming movements, adding partial elements
10. Assignment of specific properties to geometries and creation of simulation material
11. Creation of generation geometries for the creation of particles
12. Creating export data from simulations and working with them
13. Possible optimization of the computing environment
