nice thread.

@Bawomolo, thanks.
Let's keep it going.

Hello my peep, where can one acquire training on AutoDesk around town, Lagos or Portharourt?
so urgent pls.

U can get the mechanical carrer trainigg in IDM,oba akran ikeja.
It will cover autocad 2,3D modelling,inventor,ABS,etc.
Hope that help.

@Agbalaya,
It helped; it's just d distance. Thanks all the same,

IDM don't teach quite well nd they are just so over-priced.

@Puskin, have you gone there, and how about others that you know can do better. Thanks.

I did mine there 2005/06, so i wouldnt know what they are up to now.But what i learn there is resourceful to me now.

Iv bin there, some yrs back.
All they are interested in, is selling those worthless Autodesk cert's.
If U really want 2learn Autocad, U just hv 2do it on ur own nd hv sumbody who knws it 2guide U thru.
If U really feel like giving some money away, go there(IDM).
Alternatively, U can pay only d 1st instalment, collect d course-ware nd attend d 1st few weeks of lectures 2get U started, then U learn d rest on ur own.

For machines only

what of PDMS?

I studied Mechanical Engineering, but I cant call myself a Mechanical Engineer now. Is there anyone here on this forum who actively practices Mech Engr? Please tell us about your job, I would really like to know.

Practising mechanical engineering is dependent on what industry you want to be in.

manufacturing - Maintenance routine job, spare-part purchase and a host of machine related work
Oil and gas - Designs, Equipment Layout, Vessel designs and maintenance of plants and equipments.
consulting - Support and analyzing for clients
Software Engineering - work with a group of software engineers to make sure the software developed for engineers conform with the standards e.g ASME ANSI etc
Automobile - Designs and coupling of components.

and a host of all others. make more research using Google. Hope this helps.

I think you can be trained on PDMS same place, but I only know people that handle it so well in P.H

what are the applications of PDMS software? What is the relevance to an aspiring engineer?

PDMS - Plant Design Management System. Its has different modules and applications depending on what you want to do.

Modules - Design,Isodraft,Draft,Paragon,Specon,Propcon,Monitor,Admin,Spooler and Lexicon.
Applications are the different areas on each modules. for example on Design Module - Equipment,Pipework,Structures,HVAC,H&S.

cheers.

if you are interested in autodesk trainning, please mail me at lekside44@yahoo.co.uk

currently working on software for mechanical engineers. i will like to bring this software alive.

what kind of software are u working on? try and find out if such software is not in existence.
cheers

PRESENT

THOUGH NOW INTO MONEY STUFF

Mechanical Engineers are professional dat provide solutions to problem combining the art of science, maths and engineering together.
no be by pdms, autocad ooooooooooooooooo
if talk of abaqus, anysy, atopipe, offpipe and rest then I would say you are on the right path
Engineers do calcs for pressure vessels to determine shell strength for the vessels in term of pressure containment, Nozzle design ( Orientation bla bla).
Please Donot get it twisted oooo, I don talk my own

a solution provider software. i have been a practicing mechanical eng and i knew what is best desired. if you are interested, we can discuss it one on one

in some industry you cant do without pdms and autocad while in some you will never use or come across abacus, anysy etc, so it all depends on where you find yourself or what you are involved in
