AutoCAD is a 2D and 3D computer-aided drafting software used widely in engineering. It allows for faster and more accurate design and simulation of projects. AutoCAD is used across various engineering disciplines like chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering. It helps design processes and infrastructure, create diagrams, detect errors, calculate specifications, and optimize designs to save on costs and experimentation. Engineering projects across various fields benefit from the capabilities of AutoCAD for design, documentation, planning, and testing.

2. Uses of AutoCAD in Engineering

3. What is AutoCAD?
 The AutoCAD stands for “Automatic Computer Aided Design”. It is
AutoCAD is a 2 Dimensional and 3 Dimensional computer-driven
drafting software application.
 It is manufactured commercially by the Auto Desk.
 It simulates calculations, detect errors, all efficiently.
 The workers which use AutoCAD are called drafters.
 In simpler words, people who once used the traditional way of pen
and paper now use AutoCAD for faster and accurate results.
 The AutoCAD helps generate ideas.

4. General survey:
 According to a General Electric survey, 60 percent of product errors
were associated to incomplete and unclear drafts problems which
were fixed with the help of software like AutoCAD. Further in this
article we will learn about how an AutoCAD is used in the
Engineering industry.

5. History:
 The AutoCAD was derived from the program called Interact CAD,
the software was invented in 1982. It actually made to simplify the
CAD’s complicated system in the 1970’s. Pro/ENGINEER (the
parametric modeler) brought about an entirely new way of
engineering. AutoCAD brought a revolutionary change to
engineering world.

6. AUTOCAD IN ENGINEERING
 Engineering is a vast field spread to many branches and sub
branches. Every field employs the latest and efficient modes to
perform work. AUTOCAD is one of the efficient and very useful way
to perform tasks of engineering. The four main engineering fields are
civil, chemical, electrical and mechanical.

7. Chemical Engineering:
 Designing is the threshold function of the AutoCAD. The chemical
Engineering uses designing tactics by the AutoCAD. How AutoCAD
helps in chemical engineering:
 Design large scale processors that convert chemicals, raw materials
and energy into useful products.
 Checks the stamina of the plants to provide maximum product.
 Determines the age of the plant.
 Determines the optimum conditions in which the plants work the
best.
 Detects if a plant needs reparation or renewal.
 Makes sure all safety precautions are taken.
 Calculates the chemical reactions and determines the best suited
conditions.

8.  Check the compatibility of chemical with the atmosphere of a
particular place.
 AutoCAD can send many types of information, including
dimensions, types of material, and its credibility.
 Provides essential solutions to both engineering and manufacturing
queries.
 Keeps the check of capacity a particular plant can hold.

9. Civil Engineering:
 The civil engineers design and construct infrastructures from small to
big level. An AutoCAD helps the civil engineering by:
 Designing projects with a 2D and 3D perspective.
 Gives a clear image of the final infrastructure.
 Presents the best design in accordance of the topography ,
geography and weather conditions of the area.
 Calculates the cost.
 Checks the terrain conditions.
 Suggests the best available material to be used.
 Saves costs of experimenting and material use.
 Suggests way to prevent energy wastage.

10. Electrical Engineer:
 The electrical engineer is someone who applies the laws of physics
and electricity to create process information and transmit energy.
How AutoCAD is used in electrical engineering:
 Design and test the competency of an electrical equipment.
 Create electrical diagrams.
 Predict the voltage and power capacity of a particular plant.
 Predict the generation of power from a particular source.
 Create documentations, control circuit diagrams and schematics.
 Detect the error in an electrical component and troubleshoot it
quickly.
 Help generate telecommunications and there transformation
building.
 Predict limitations, assumptions and solutions in the design.
 Create computer systems and designs.

11. Mechanical Engineering:
 It is the work of mechanics and its component systems. The
AutoCAD help in mechanical engineering by:
 Research, designing and development of a mechanical device
according to the requirement of a particular project.
 Designs components required for a particular project.
 Trouble shoots and error in a device.
 Keeps check and balance of the devices.
 Helps test a equipment before it is actually used.
 Helps predict the exact way a product’s look before its made.
 Saves cost of experimenting.

12.  Calculates every vibration, frequency and output of every device
before it is used.
 Helps detect forces and their role on a particular equipment.
 Checks the role of thermodynamics such as heat, pressure, light on
a particular project and yields results in accordance.
 Measures the timings a particular machine can hold.
 Detects when a machines need a recheck or renewal.
 Detects the wear and tear age of a machine.
