Contribution à l’évaluation des outils de modélisation utilisés dans l’enseignement de la conception mécanique

Abstract

The modeling and simulation tools are becoming the most commonly used in mechanical design activities to optimize the design process. They have become very common in the industry and more and more in education and training. However their use raises many sometimes associated with the educational use problems, interface ergonomics, the functional capability of the application, the acquisition cost of the equipment etc. This text provides the theoretical framework of a thesis project on "Evaluation of modeling tools used in the field of teaching mechanical design" according to their usefulness, usability and acceptability for efficiency of teaching / learning.
