or realistic and varied seminars, the Autodesk AliasStudio Curriculum also provides support. It serves as an aid to lecturers and teachers and guides school pupils and students through step-by-step in-depth exercises for self-study. The curriculum, likewise available free of charge in the Community, consists of comprehensive teaching materials with which individual learning units can, for example, be structured clearly using design examples from industry. Through complete projects, school pupils and students can also deepen the skills they have already acquired.
Alias Studio is used with great success as leading design software in the automotive industry and by market leaders in the consumer-goods industry. The software offers a comprehensive range of tools for mastering and optimising all the challenges of the design process. The software can be used, for example, to create sketches, models or visualisations within a unified environment. During the further design process, students retain control over their designs and can integrate changes at any time. This significantly increases the flexibility of design decisions. But high-quality renderings can also be created very easily with the software — which offers a decisive advantage particularly for group projects.
In addition to AliasStudio, numerous further downloads, such as Autodesk Inventor, Revit Architecture, Autodesk Civil 3D or Autodesk VIZ, are available to students free of charge in the Student Community. Alongside the software, learning programmes, forums, design libraries, job advertisements and detailed curricula provide a range of further interesting features for students, school pupils and teaching staff at universities and schools.
