Design office

This UE is a core module in mechanical design technology. It enables students to apply the concepts of standard component sizing seen mainly in the technology units in L2 (introduction to mechanical design) and L3 (structure and sizing, mechanical design 1 and 2) to the case of existing mechanical systems. It also indirectly draws on all the other UEs in rigid and deformable solid mechanics seen mainly in L2 and L3.

Emphasis is placed on the discovery and comparison of real technological solutions, to enrich the technological culture, and on the research, critical choice and pre-dimensioning of technological solutions compatible with the system studied, based on partial (re)design specifications. Finally, the realization of the chosen solution is based on the sketching of an accurate drawing in the sense of industrial drawing, both on paper and using CAD software, with complete dimensioning of one of the mechanism's parts.

• Analyze and explain the operation of all or part of an existing mechanism, based on an overall drawing and technical data,
• Justify choice of materials and production methods,
• Produce a kinematic diagram of all or part of the mechanism,
• Calculate the degree of hyperstaticity and understand the technological solutions implemented to resolve it,
• Calculate the forces in the mechanism and check the sizing of a standard mechanical component based on manufacturers' documentation,
• Research and critical choice of a technological solution based on reduced specifications and manufacturers' documentation. Justification, pre-dimensioning and implementation of the chosen solution in the CAD mechanism, with drawing and dimensioning,
• Draw the assembly graph for all or part of the mechanism.

• All L2 and L3 rigid and deformable solid mechanics and technology courses
• Technical communication, CAD
• Functional rating
