SolidWorks as an innovative means for studying the disciplines of automobile profile

Abstract

Improving the quality of training of specialists in higher education institutions is inextricably linked to the issues of innovation, the introduction of modern technologies in the educational process and the solution of problems of automation of education on the basis of international standards of the ISO series, which allow the development and implementation of new and more efficient methods of calculation and optimization of details, in particular, automotive technology and the car's overall system. At all stages of the life cycle of designing and modeling of components and parts of cars there are information models, the use of which in the educational process is related to the introduction of CAD/CAM/CAE/CAPP/PDM-systems and tools of informatics in the methodology of training. The main feature of modern graphic training of automotive engineers is 3D modeling. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to use the 3D SolidWorks Solid State Parametric Modeling System as an innovative means of studying the subjects of the specialty "Automobile Transport" – developed a technique that uses this software as a means of training in the technical disciplines of automotive profile: solid 3D design and modeling of components and parts of automotive technology and first-year gadgets (SolidWorks); durable, fatiguing and other engineering calculations for these assemblies and parts are as follows (SolidWorks applications). SolidWorks creates sketches of parts and bodies of rotation using additional planes, intersects surfaces, constructs ribs in parts and creates arrays and threaded joints, assembles parts with the subsequent formation of drawings and three-dimensional models by two-dimensional drawing of geometric objects etc. SolidWorks Simulation calculates engineered parts: crank mechanisms, engine lubrication and cooling systems, fuel systems, clutches, gas distribution mechanisms, gearbox parts, gearboxes, driveshafts and transmissions, suspension, steering which are implemented in durability, stability, fatigue and other calculations. In this case, the proposed methodology involves the gradual development of new material, its repetition and consolidation, application in practice.
