CAD 3060 - Structural Design I
Clock Hours: 426
Delivery Mode
on-ground
Industry Certifications Elective - AutoDesk Certified Professional, Certified Solidworks Associate, Certified Solidworks Professional, ADDA Certified Drafter
Course Description:
Structural Computer aided design drafters may be called upon to prepare either engineering or shop drawings. Engineering drawings provide an overall picture of a structure for sales, marketing, estimating, or engineering purposes. Shop drawings are used to actually fabricate the structural products for a job. Engineering and shop drawings are prepared for three different types of structural products: steel, precast concrete, and poured-in-place concrete. Light commercial buildings constructed of wood may also be included.
Computer aided design drafters must also be familiar with all standard steel products and be able to use the AISC Manual of Steel Construction and be able to construct framing plans. Full sections, both longitudinal and cross, as well as partial sections are used to show the location of components to form a structure. Fabrication details contain all information necessary so that the structural product detailed can be manufactured to meet the design needs of the job. Structural Computer aided design drafters must also prepare bills of materials, including shop bills and advance bills.
