Title: Mechatronics: Taming the Beast
Instructor: Randy Brunette
Course Description: In many companies, the mechanical and electrical design are combined, creating a single mechatronic design process. Do your mechanical designs include electrical wires, harnesses, and components? When completing your electrical designs, would you like to use tools especially designed for electrical drawing creation? Autodesk® Inventor® is the design tool of choice for the physical components, AutoCAD® Electrical for the electrical components. You can create a seamless interface between the two using three basic guidelines. We'll study these rules and how they work. During the class, we will use AutoCAD Electrical to create a circuit representing a wire harness and export the data into Autodesk Inventor. In Autodesk Inventor, we will create wires, cables, and ribbon cables, and export the data into AutoCAD Electrical.
