MEG 361 CAD • Dr. Mostafa S. Hbib
Components of CAD/CAM/CAE • Hardware and software enable interactive shape manipulation
Software ComponentsCAD • CAD Software allows the designer to interactively • Create, • Manipulate, and • Store the shape in the database
Software ComponentsCAD examples Mechanical Drawing using AutoCad
Software ComponentsCAD examples Architectural Drawing using AutoCad
Software ComponentsCAD examples Geometrical Modeling
Software ComponentsCAM • CAM Software allows to facilitate the manufacturing process of the product cycle; • Planning, • Managing and/or • Controlling the operations of product manufacturing.
Software ComponentsCAM examples Output of NC Tool path Simulation
Software ComponentsCAE • CAE Software allows the designer to simulate and study how the product will behave.
Windows Based CAD Systems • PC Hardware has become incredibly fast and powerful. • Software developers have begun Producing good software products taking advantage of the MS-windows graphics environment since 1996.
Windows Based CAD Systems..Common Features • Use the functions provided by MS windows 2000 look similar to other MS Programs users feel comfortable, learn to use them fast. • Have Object Linking and Embedding capabilities ….. More ……
Windows Based CAD Systems..Common Features • Use “Component technology” i., e; the best key software elements are selected from among available software. • Employ Object-Oriented technology: • guides the userto give necessary input, • save memory ( all data associated with a part stored in one file. ….. More ……
Windows Based CAD Systems..Common Features • Provides capability of either ‘parametric modeling’ or ‘variational modeling’. both approaches allow a user to define a shape by using constraints instead of manipulating the shapes of elements directly. The only difference is • whether the constraints are solved • sequentially or simultaneously. • ….. More ……
Windows Based CAD Systems..Common Features • Internet support which allows remotely located users to communicate regarding the same part while marking up the part model on their screens.
