Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Determine assembly modelling requirements
   • Check purpose, scope and information requirements for assembly modelling task
   • Interpret available information relevant to project and work requirements, and identify and address further information needs
   • Identify and prepare equipment required to complete work
   • Identify and apply relevant codes, standards and symbols relevant to work
   • Consult appropriate personnel to ensure the work is coordinated effectively with others involved in the project
   • Obtain and apply workplace occupational health and safety (OHS) and environmental procedures for work

Required Skills

Required skills

Required skills include obtaining relevant job instructions and specifications creating the appropriate entities in D space manipulating the entities in D space modifying where appropriate existing D models saving drawing files in the appropriate format extracting the physical properties of shapes created in D space from the drawing file to meet job requirements reading interpreting and following information on written job instructions specifications standard operating procedures charts lists drawings and other applicable reference documents checking and clarifying taskrelated information checking for conformance to specifications undertaking numerical operations geometry and calculationsformulae within the scope of this unit creating intelligent models using parametric modelling using predrawn library files to produce assemblies extracting mass and area properties from solid model applying rendering techniques to a D model using various materials and surface finish options producing hard copies of D solid models saving D models in various file formats for retrieval into other CAD application software

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes purpose for which the D assembly model is to be developed principle tools used in the creation and manipulation of assembly models appropriate coordinate system for the job reasons for selecting the chosen coordinate system orientation of the model with respect to the coordinate system number of views required to establish the model top down and bottom up modelling techniques procedures for creating entities and components in D space the entities that can be createdmanipulated in D space procedures for manipulating entities in D space rendering types and preferences render lighting techniques views and scenes procedures for modifying existing D assembly models procedures for saving drawing files the various formats in which drawing files can be saved reasons for using different formats when saving drawing files procedures for extracting data with respect to the physical properties of shapes created in D space the physical properties of shapes created in D space that can be extracted from the drawing file hazard and control measures associated with using CAD system including housekeeping safe work practices and procedures terminology associated with solid assembly modelling

Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package
Overview of assessment	A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to create D model assemblies using CAD systems
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria including required knowledge and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts Specifically the candidate must be able to work within typical siteteamwork structures and methods apply worksite communication procedures comply with organisational policies and procedures including quality requirements participate in work meetings comply with quality requirements use industry terminology apply appropriate safety procedures select and use D CAD software to create solid model assemblies that meet design specifications
Context of and specific resources for assessment	This unit may be assessed on the job off the job or a combination of both on and off the job Where assessment occurs off the job that is the candidate is not in productive work then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety quality communication materials handling recording and reporting associated with creating D models using computer aided design systems or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit
Method of assessment	Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid sufficient current and authentic Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation supervisors reports project work samples and questioning Questioning techniques should not require language literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency The candidate must have access to all tools equipment materials and documentation required The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures product and manufacturing specifications codes standards manuals and reference materials
