Engineering 128 - Fall 2015
Advanced graphics tools for engineering design. Parametric solid modeling, assembly modeling.
Presentation using computer animation and multimedia techniques through PTC Creo Parametric and Autodesk 3ds Max.
COURSE PROJECT
Swissauto 250 Engine
The E128 semester project is to create an animation of an assembly and operation of a moderately complex mechanical device. The device must be composed of several mechanical components, and be constructed of different materials or material finishes. Additionally, the animation must specifically illustrate the principles of operation and aspects of the device’s operation that are difficult to visualize or understand conceptually.
In this project I was responsible for modeling and animating parts of the engine as well as editing. I combined my GoPro camera footage with my teams animation renders along with mixing music and sound effects to produce the video below.
Course Topics
Parametric solids,parts, and feature based modeling
Constructive solids, sweeps, rotation, Boolean operations
Assembly modeling and creation of working drawings
Computer rendering, viewing, and presentation of solids.
Technical presentation using computer animation and multimedia techniques.
