SFA-23 | Virtual Modeling

Compulsory Course | Hours/Week: 1C+1L | ECTS Credits: 2

Titular:

lect.drd.arh Andreea Iosif

Learning outcomes:

The goal of this course is to make the students acquainted with the basics of virtual modelling, ilustrated through Rhinoceros software. The modelling's tools, presented in the course in theoretical form, are exemplified through practical applications that reach specific problems for designers in virtual modelling.

Content:

Courses:
1 Fundamental notions: the place of virtual modelling in CAD context; objects of modelling
2 Interface : view control; selection methods; layers and properties
3 Drawing accuracy: graphic, numeric and mixed methods
4 Curve objects: intrinsic and derived curves
5 Surface objects: intrinsic, derived and composite surfaces
6 Editing: transformations and deformations
7 Drawing over a blueprint
Applications:
1 a) View control / b) Selection methods / c) Manipullation of objects
2 a) Points input / b) Drawing lines in space – Chair.
3 a) Surfaces of revolution – Screwdriver / b) Filleted surfaces – Water tap.
4 Extrusion – John Pew House.
5 Series of profiles – Stair in park.
6 Editing – Vault with slanted arches
7 Drawing over a blueprint – "Red & Blue" chair by Rietveld.

Teaching Method:

Course + practical applications

Assessment:

Seminar activity 50% + Final evaluation 50%
