Precision Learning in the Classroom
PTC University uses the Precision Learning methodology to develop effective, comprehensive class material that will improve the productivity of both individuals and organizations. PTC then teaches using the proven instructional design principal of Tell Me, Show Me, Let Me Do: Topics are introduced through a short presentation, highlighting the key concepts. These key concepts are then reinforced by seeing them applied in the software application. You then apply the concepts through structured exercises.
Precision Learning After the Class
Each student that enrolls in a PTC class has a PTC University eLearning account. This account will be automatically created if you do not already have one. A Pro/FICIENCY assessment from the course content that generates a Recommended Learning Report based on your results. A Web-based training version of the course, based on the same instructional approach of lecture, demonstration, and exercise. The Recommended Learning Report will link directly to sections of this training that you may want to review. Please note that Web-based training may not be available in all languages. The Web-based training is available in your account for one year after the live class.

Precision Learning Recommendations

PTC uses a role-based training approach. The roles and the associated training are graphically displayed in a curriculum map. Curriculum maps are available for numerous PTC products and versions in the training section of our Web site at http://www.ptc.com/services/edserv/learning/paths/index.htm.

Please note that a localized map may not be available in every language and that the map above is partial and for illustration purposes only. Before the end of the class, your instructor will review the map corresponding to the course you are taking. This review, along with instructor recommendations, should give you some ideas for additional training that corresponds to your role and job functions.

You are a part of the team that is designing a racing car. The senior engine designer has decided on a mechanism and lift profile for the intake and exhaust valves. He has provided you with a graph of the desired profiles and has asked you to develop the camshaft. The graph displays degrees of rotation versus offset distance. The mechanism has been designed such that a 1.00 diameter base circle on the camshaft represents the zero lift profile on the cam. You have chosen the Sweep feature as a tool to design this part because it enables you to control the shape mathematically.

The 0.125 is in the relation to define the offset of the base cylinder of the cam from the cylindrical shaft surface. The base cylinder of the cam defines the zero lift position (the rest position) of the follower. The system parameter EVALGRAPH is included to take the value of the height of the cam from the graph INTAKE_PROFILE at every point on the trajectory. The trajectory length parameter (trajpar) is included as a variable ratio from 01. You then multiply by 360 since you are defining the cam profile around the cylindrical shaft (360 degrees). Finally, you divide the resultant dimension by 100 since you are provided with the graph with an x-axis scale of 100.
