Conception de mécanique (CAO/CAD) — 3DEXPERIENCE

I delivered this L1 undergraduate engineering module in French as part of my ATER appointment at Nantes Université (IUT de Nantes, GMP). The course introduced computer-aided mechanical design (CAO/CAD) using 3DEXPERIENCE and established core skills in parametric modelling and engineering assemblies.

Student audience

First-year undergraduate engineering students (L1).

Teaching language

French.

Content overview

• Parametric part modelling and design intent
• Assembly modelling, constraints, and verification
• Digital mock-up workflows and design iteration practices

Learning outcomes

• Model mechanical parts and assemblies following industrial CAD conventions
• Apply parametric strategies to support design modifications and reuse
• Produce consistent digital mock-ups suitable for downstream engineering tasks
