Unigraphics (abbreviated UG) is a high-end CAD/CAM system, available for student use at USC, courtesy of EDS/Unigraphics, which has a long-standing history of collaboration with the Programmable Automation Lab. The system is powerful, but it also is large and complex. The following notes are meant as a roadmap to facilitate learning the rudiments of the system, so as to be able to model objects in it, and to create files.

Use CAD design software to generate 3D solid designs, assemblies, and associated drawings for complex products, mechanisms, and / or complete components, sub-systems of vehicles. Prepare major designs of complete machines, tools, dies, jigs, gauges, fixtures and equipment used in the manufacturing, measuring, or testing process. Work independently with supervision. Work directly with engineer or customer. Required Skills: Associate degree or equivalent training/experience 3+ years of relevant experience Experienced in use of CAD for model creation Vehicle design background In-depth understanding of products and manufacturing operations Competent in 3D CAD, including solid modeling, surfacing, assemblies, and drafting Ability to evaluate basic tolerance stack-up Ability...
