The first stage in designing a new product is requirements gathering. This is followed by making a rough sketch of the product. Understand how to take this sketch to the 3D model is a tremendous skill to have. This is exactly what you will learn in this course first. Further, you will be learning both solid and surface modelling.
In the second course, you will master the sheet metal design process through an enormous amount of practical training.
Learning to create 3D models is a good skill set to have. Designing to tolerances is ultimately what the company is hiring you for. This is exactly what you will be learning in this module.
A design engineer needs to interface with other teams (crash, durability, manufacturing, and suppliers). All these teams provide critical that are taken into account by the design engineer. In this course, you will not only push your design skills to the next level, but you will also learn about the entire vehicle development process.
In this course, you will learn the basics of plastic design and workbench. You will also cover part design workbench, surface design workbench, creating power copy and you will learn about adding thickness to styling surface.

Top 5% of the class will get a merit certificate. Course completion certificate will be provided to all students who complete the course. You will receive both an e-verified and hard copy of your certificates.
In this first module, you will discover how to make a professional mood board in Adobe Photoshop. You will learn how to import & blend images, add watermarks and change colors. This module will help you create a professional mood board using Photoshop. You will learn to sketch an American chopper and render the image in 3D.
Now that we have our sketch for our American Chopper, it is time to start designing it. Before getting into a lot of details, in this module, we will first take some time and familiarize ourselves with the user interface of Solidworks Pro and also learn how to customize important shortcuts.
In this module, you will start off by designing the transmission belt and kickstand of the Chopper. You will be using the following features:
In this module, you will design the Oil Tank, Chain and the Pedal of the Chopper. You will be using the following features:
In this module, you will design the front and rear wheels first and then model the front fork of the Chopper. You will be using the following features:
In this module, you will understand what GD&T is and its uses. After your first class, you will be able to understand the basics such as:
In this module, we will raise our knowledge up a notch and learn about the governing rules of GD&T. After this class, you will have a thorough knowledge of:
In this segment, you will study the following topics:
By the beginning of this section, you will have built a good base for learning complex tolerances. In this section we will learn:
Position Tolerance is the most widely used tolerance in GD&T and hence we will dedicate the entire segment in learning this tolerance and its application. In this section we will go through:
By now, you will have enough knowledge to read an entire GD&T drawing and understand it. In this section, we will cover some tolerance that is not widely used in the industry but is mentioned in the ASME Standard. We will learn:
In this part, we will go through a complex GD&T drawing and understand each and every tolerance and the message the tolerance conveys
The Sheet Metal application provides an environment for the design of sheet metal parts used in machinery, enclosures, brackets, and other parts normally manufactured with a brake press.
NX sheet metal design software incorporates material and process information in sheet metal-specific modelling features: bends, flanges, tabs, cutouts, beads, dimples, louvers, corner and edge treatments, patterns, and other formable features.
You can also quickly convert solid models to sheet metal components, and create sheet metal parts that enclose other components.
Tabs are flat profiles on a sheet metal part that serve as either the base feature or an extension of an existing flange, known as a secondary tab.
This command creates a base feature by extruding a sketch along a vector by a thickness value or adds material to a plane face.
Adds a flange to an angle to a planar face and adds a bend between the two.
Creates a base feature by extruding a sketch along a vector, or adds material by sweeping a sketch along an edge or chain of edges.
Rounds a sharp corner.
Closes a corner where two adjacent flanges meet by extending the bends & flanges.
Bend Taper removes material at an angle from the bend, band, and web, or chain of child features.
Bends modify the part by bending the material based on reference geometries.
Punch adds a sheet metal feature based on the punch tool body.
In this module, you will learn the techniques of rebending and unbending
In this module, you will put together all the concepts that you have learned so far.
This will be an introductory session where the basics of the automobiles and types of car bodies are explained. The complete vehicle development process which will explain the stages crossed by a car before it reaches the customer. The complete 3 years of development activity will be explained.
This will be an introductory session where the basics of the automotive BiW is taught. The basics of steel and its properties are covered in major, as steel is an important component used in the cars. Steps followed in the selection of the material is discussed. Also, the cross-functional teams are explained and the need to coordinate with them is explained with the master sections and 3D components of the parts for easy and clear understanding.
Out of all the BiW components, we will focus our attention on the Hood, Fender, Roof, Side and Back doors. The design procedures for all the afore-mentioned parts can be summarized as follows.
In this, we will present a real-life scenario where the effect of converting an inner panel from aluminum cast to the Steel Deep Draw part will be presented. Here is a quick summary of this case. The following design parameters were identified as critical and hence were fully described:
When you enroll in this course, you will be able to clearly understand these design parameters and the decisions that were made. In this case study, the design guidelines were set through a series of CAE simulations.
In this module, you will first learn the anatomy of a Locker and Striker Mechanism. In order to be a successful product development engineer, it is very important to understand in detail the development process and design requirements for even the tiniest components. In this module, we will be analyzing the locker and striker mechanism in detail.
In this module, we will look at two case studies. Both of these studies focus on supplier manufacturing practices. We will discuss the design challenges faced by two Asian Automotive suppliers and then go over the solution methodologies
