1. What is Design?
Design is the human power to imagine, plan, and realize
products that serve human beings.
Design is a complete prototype with analysis and
manufacturing.
The design process
Steps of the Conventional Design Process:
1. Recognition of need
- Someone recognizes the need that can be satisfied by a new
design.
2. Problem definition
- Specification of the item.

exact scaling, dimension, measurements,
accuracy and with standard like ISO,
ASEE…etc.

6. • CAD - Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided
Drafting.
• It’s an integration of computer science techniques
for engineering design.
• The term Computer Aided Design characterizes any
design activity which incorporates an electronic
computing machine in the process of development,
analysis or modification and optimization of design.

What does mechanical engineers do in CAD?
– Mechanical engineers do drafting and design and
prototype testing (analysis) operation in CAD.
– Use to creates graphic representation of physical
object.
Generally the main function of CAD is used to
– Create graphic representation (create 2D/3D drafting)
– 3D modeling (individual component modeling and
Assembly modeling)
– Used for analysis (stress analysis, kinematic
analysis,..etc.)
– Used for simulation the system (collusion simulation, robotic
simulation.. etc.)

11. Product life cycle
AVJ GHRCEM AHMEDNAGAR 11
2 main processes: Design + Manufacturing
2 sub-processes of design: Synthesis + Analysis
The end goal of the synthesis is a conceptual
design of the prospective product
The analysis evaluate the performance ofthe
expected product
Computer prototypes: Less expensive and faster to
generate
12. Product life cycle
o Manufacturing process begins with the process
planning.
o Process planning is the backbone of the
manufacturing process.
o The outcome of the process planning is a production
plan, tools procurement, material order, and machine
programming.

18. Software modules
• Operating System (OS) Module:
Every OS provides its own library to programmers.
• Graphical User Interface (GUI), model representation
capabilities are dependent on these library files.
• OS can be paid or open source.
Ex: Microsoft Windows, Red Hat, Linux, Apple Macintosh,
etc..
• All CAD software developers prepare their products which
can be installed on any OS.
• Functions of software on any OS are same but GUI may be
different.
AVJ GHRCEM AHMEDNAGAR 18
19. Software modules
Different software modules are:
a. Geometric Module: creating sketch, modeling, assembly,
presenting the model in different views, their drawings, printing
and exporting.
b. Application Module: FEA, CFD, Thermal Analysis, Crash analysis,
electromagnetic, animation, simulation and optimization,
Applications in MFG: CIM, CNC, 3D Printing, etc.
c. Programming Module: allows user to programme their
requirements, needs knowledge of workspace and
programming languages like, C++, java, etc.
d. Communication Module: for exchange of geometrical data for
various applications using different file formats like STEP
(STandard for the Exchange of Product model data), IGES
(Initial Graphics Exchange Specification), etc..

geometry and non-geometry of :
a. An object in the computer database

3D Wireframe Modeling
Surface Modeling
Solid Modeling
26. Wire-frame modeling
2 dimensional entities are used, such as: points, straight
lines, curves, polygons, circles etc..
Model appears like a frame constructed out of wire
Simplest and oldest method
AVJ GHRCEM AHMEDNAGAR 26
27. Types of wire frame modeling

2.5 D wire-frame model
29. Types of wire frame modeling
3D wire-frame Modeling:
• Used to represent 3D objects with side wall details
• Confusing for complicated models
• To overcome confusion, dashed lines used hidden edges or
hidden lines removed automatically

3D wire-frame Modeling
30. Advantages of wire-frame
modeling
Simplest to construct
Requires less computer memory
Forms the basis for surface models
CPU time required to retrieve, edit or update the wire-
frame model is less compared to surface or solid models.
AVJ GHRCEM AHMEDNAGAR 30
31. Limitations of wire-frame
modeling
Very difficult and time consuming to generate wire-frame
models of complicated objects.
Requires more input data compared to solid models.
Very confusing for complicated objects especially when
there is no facility available for automatic hidden lines.
Not possible to calculate properties such as: mass, volume,
moment of inertia, etc.
Not suitable for applications like generating cross sections,
checking interference between mating parts, NC tool path
generation, process planning, etc..
More ambiguous representation than surface and solid
models
AVJ GHRCEM AHMEDNAGAR 31
32. Surface modeling
Need of surface modeling:
To represent complex objects such as: automotive bodies,
aircraft bodies, ship bodies, casting and dies, etc..
Surface Model:
generated by using wire-frame entities or curves (analytic
or synthetic).
May require one wire-frame entity or generated surface of
revolution
May require two wire-frame entities to generate a ruled
surface
AVJ GHRCEM AHMEDNAGAR 32
34. Surface modeling
Mesh of surface model:
To assist the visualization of object on graphical display,
artificial fair lines called mesh are added on the surface.
Mesh size is controlled by user.
Finer mesh size requires longer CPU time to construct
surface model and to update the graphical display.
Finer mesh size does not improve the mathematical
representation, it only improves its visualization.
AVJ GHRCEM AHMEDNAGAR 34
35. Surface modeling
Rendering Features:
Rendering enhances the aesthetic appeal of the object. It
gives
a. Color effects
b. Object appears like made of brass or appear corroded
c. Provides light effects such as spot lights, ambient lights,
etc..
Surface modeling can be used for NC/ CNC tool path
generation.
AVJ GHRCEM AHMEDNAGAR 35
36. Solid modeling
• Easiest and most advanced method of geometric modeling
• Solid models contains both geometric data and topological
information.
• Solid models can be converted into wire-frame models. It is
not possible to convert wire-frame model into solid model.

37. VRML web based viewing
Introduction to VRML:
• Virtual Reality Modeling Language
• Enables to display and manipulate the CAD models in a web
browser. (object can be rotated to view invisible sides).
• There is no need of CAD software to open file saved in
VRML format.
• CAD model can be viewed in free ware like: Online 3D
viewer, Cortona 3D viewer, etc..
• To see VRML files, it is necessary to install VRML browser or
plug-in.

AVJ GHRCEM AHMEDNAGAR 41
42. VRML web based viewing
Limitations:
For complex 3D geometry higher network transmissions
rates are required.
Powerful local rendering capabilities are necessary to view
complicated shaped objects.
