This unit of competency covers the application of mechanical modelling techniques for computer-aided engineering (CAE) purposes. It includes model creation for purposes such as computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and computer numerical control (CNC) applications, rapid prototyping and stress analysis, and as a basis for generating orthogonal drawings.
This unit applies to modelling of mechanical, maintenance and manufacturing engineering products, plant and system for CAE applications. It is suitable for people working in design drafting and those pursuing technical qualifications and careers at engineering technician level.
