In this subject, a large spectrum of the advanced computer assisted design tools is presented. Short overview of the parametric 3D CAD systems. Introduction to the top-down design theory. Presentation of reference transmission rules. Surface handling tools: merging, cutting, conversion to solid. Kinetical and kinematical model analysis presentation. Selection possibilities for edges and surfaces, their copy. Setting and verification of the surface slope. Surface loft through various sections. Presentation of curve and surface properties. Building and command of a simple mechanism. Correction of holes, patching. Presentation of lofted unions. Drawing making.  Role of the safety theory in the vehicle industry. Notion of failure probability, theoretical and practical estimation of its background. Basic modelling and measuring of irregular load processes. Treatment methods of measured results. Basics of lifetime estimation based on probability theory. Notion of the load collective, its types, standards. Notion of the lifetime curve, its connection to the fatigue curve. Failure probability definition for different load models. Palmgren-Miner and Corten-Dolan methods. Explication of the safety factor based on the probability theory. Lifetime analysis based on the increase of the plastic zone. Methods based on the nominal stress and on the local stress and strain. Cyclic stress-strain curve, cyclic softening and hardening. Strain-lifetime curves and their application in the lifetime computation based on the local deformation process. Bases of the linear elastic fracture mechanics. Handling of structural elements with fractures. Fracture propagation, estimation of remaining lifetime. Fail-safe, safe-life and damage tolerant philosophies.
