Design of a graphical user interface for designLaukik Raut
In research and development field, many research efforts have been made to save the overall time of product design and
development of any product. As we know that design phase has a lot of potential where overall time can be saved. Hence, design
automation has been the best concept came into picture which involves integration of different software like product design
software developed, modeling software and analysis software. It has been observed that many researchers are taking efforts in the
area of design automation like integration of different tailor made software developed using different computer programming
languages like Visual Basic, Java, C++ with different CAD software like Pro/E, CREO Parametric, CATIA, SolidWorks .But it is
observed that Visual Basic is having some better advantages over others like it will give dot frame work for design of product
input base as well as it can be easily interface with intermediate software like Microsoft excel which provides an input to other
modeling or analysis software and among all available parametric modeling software CREO is widely used in industries because
it has best parameterization quality. In this paper, integration of product design software developed using Visual Basic as
computer programming language and CREO Parametric as modeling software by taking the case study of design of CI Engine
parts has been done to validate the concept. Simulation of CI Engine is added in developed GUI which gives results of pressure,
temperature, volume at each crank angle of crankshaft in the form of graphs and maximum value of pressure and temperature got
are being used for structural and thermal analysis of major components.

Engineering Project Management
This report is going to talk about and explain the basics of project
management, the importance of project management, the role of project
manager, the skills a good project manager must have, some key concepts
that almost every project must follow, the steps of the project and how the
project works and what effects it, and some of the reasons that may cause
problems in the process of the way that the project is going or some of the
problems that may actually make the project fail and not just create some
problems that can be solved, and the report also explains a small example
to make understanding the concept of engineering project management
easy.
The report explains the entire process of project management from the first
step before the project starts, and it explains on how to achieve the goal of
the project at the end when the project is finished.

The main objective of this project is to assess the contribution of nonstructural masonry walls to the safety of buildings after an unforeseeable
event and the definition of procedures to enhance this contribution
Comparing alternatives in Engineering Economics and ManagementNzar Braim
Comparing alternatives in Engineering Economics and Management
In the real world, the majority of engineering economic analysis problems are
alternative comparisons. In these problems, two or more mutually exclusive
investments compete for limited funds. A variety of methods exists for selecting
the superior alternative from a group of proposals. Each method has its own merits
and applications
Differentiation between primary and secondary LIDAR system of Remote SensingNzar Braim
In this report I will explain the importance of remote sensing in general and explaining
one of the most important system or application which is LIDAR (light detection and
ranging) and I will explain all its types and uses and applications and the components
and advantage of this system and how it works then I will mention the imaging system
with explaining the primary and secondary return imaging in LiDAR
The concept of total Horizontal and Vertical UncertaintyNzar Braim
My aim in this report is showing The Importance and significance the subject
of hydrographic which is important science in our life especially for some
countries that's covered with the water or let's say the large amount of water
so we knew that survey engineer deals with the coordinates measurement,
errors ,accuracies , other sectors so hydrographic surveyor should observing
carefully because it deals with the water as we know water let's say level of
the water is not suitable changes from place to another due to the gravity of
the Earth and all above mentioned it should be considered for the the
movement of the ships the other water vehicles in the water
Thermostone in Constrication or ThermostoneNzar Braim
My aim in this report is showing the specialty of thermostone and about the
type of creation the chemical sectional and preparation then discuss about
the method and advantage of thermostone.s to improve the report we used
the Koya thermostone the rate of construction in the Kurdistan region (KRG)
has increased through the recent decade due to a wide scope of investments
in different projects and especially for residential projects, infrastructure and
others
Developing project objectives and Execution plan in Economy management Nzar Braim
my aim in creating this report is to discuss about developing project objectives and
execution plan ,In every project and work that is done we have to consider a set of
things because each project must have its own goals and objectives.
It has to have its own time and the project has to be successful in all areas And to
further support the report we put an example on the schedule talks about 150m street
in Erbil.
At first we discuss about execution, next discuss about elements, then discuss
developing project objectives, after that the factors that make the project a success.
Erbil Citadel is a fortified settlement on top of an imposing ovoid-shaped tell (a hill created by many generations of people living and rebuilding on the same spot) in the Kurdistan region, Erbil Governorate. A continuous wall of tall 19th-century façades still conveys the visual impression of an impregnable fortress, dominating the city of Erbil. The citadel features a peculiar fan-like pattern dating back to Erbil's late Ottoman phase.
Law of supply and demand in Economy and management.
In economics, the relationship between the quantity of a commodity that producers wish to sell at various prices and the quantity that consumers wish to buy. It is the main model of price determination used in economic theory. The price of a commodity is determined by the interaction of supply and demand in a market. The resulting price is referred to as the equilibrium price and represents an agreement between producers and consumers of the good. In equilibrium, the quantity of a good supplied by producers equals the quantity demanded by consumers.
Role of electromagnetic Radiation in Remote SensingNzar Braim
Role of electromagnetic Radiation in Remote Sensing
It should be clear by now that the electromagnetic waves are originator and
carrier of information in Earth observation. The information content of the products delivered by a given type of sensor is essentially related to the parameters, mainly frequency (or wavelength) and polarization, characterizing the observing system, including the geometry at which data are acquired. Therefore, the specifications of an EO system, which include the type of sensor, the band of operation, the observation angle, etc.
The Hyperbolic Radio System in hydrographic surveying
Hyperbolic navigation systems are systems designed to provide long-distance positioning information. LORAN C system is operating and provides position information for ships and land vehicles, too. Today, there are some modernization programs called Euro fix, eLoran, which aim to increase the positioning accuracy, high reliability, and independence from satellite navigation systems. The theoretical accuracy of these modern systems is compatible with navigation satellite systems' accuracy.
Car Parking Design in Urban Planning
The growing population of India has created many problems one of the
challenging ones being car parking which we confront almost every day.
Besides the problem of space for cars moving on the road, greater is the
the problem of space for a parked vehicle considering that private vehicles
remain parked for most of their time. While residential projects still escape
with designated parking, the real problem lies with commercial spaces many
a time which is overcome by taking extra open spaces to park.
Portland Cement
Portland cement is extensively used in the construction of nuclear waste facilities and as a matrix for shielding and immobilization of radioactive species. It affords both a physical and chemical potential for immobilization. These potentials are quantified and related to specification, fabrication, and performance. However, performance in the long term depends on the cement formulation as well as the geochemistry of the disposal environment and interactions between cement and its near field environment including inactive waste components and other containment materials. Future performance can be estimated using data from natural analogs,
the experience of the performance of historic structures, and by modeling. A comparison of Portland cement with other non-Portland cement is also made.
Segregation in Concrete
The main explanation of this report of Segregation in concrete in terms of
concrete and self-compacting. The aim was to find an analytical relation to
estimating the risk of sedimentation, using the characteristics of the particles
and those of the mortars. The prediction of surface effect segregation (i.e.
transportation of different particle size fractions during heap formation) has
been the subject of a significant level of study.
Explanation of the type of segregation in term size, dry, wet, and water separate
and effect segregation in concrete in term strength and cracks, and
Prevention of Segregation in Concrete.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Abstract
Automatic Computer Aided Design (AutoCAD 2D) engineering drawing is an important
component in BFPD courses. This software is commonly practiced by students for product
design process as part of the project development. However, there is a lack of quality in 2D
engineering drawing that affects the students’ prototype making process and project progression.
This paper intends to identify the problems that weakened the students' performances of the
AutoCAD 2D engineering drawings. Data were collected from the students’ examinations,
assignments and independent projects. Semi structured interviews were also conducted with the
students.

Introduction:
AutoCAD was derived from a program that began in 1977, and then released in
1979called Interact CAD, also referred to in early Autodesk documents as Micro CAD, which was
written prior to Autodesk's (then Marin chip Software Partners) formation by Autodesk cofounder
Michael Riddle.
The first version by Autodesk was demonstrated at the 1982 Comdex and released that December.
AutoCAD supported CP/M-80 computers. As Autodesk's flagship product, by March 1986
AutoCAD had become the most ubiquitous CAD program worldwide. The 2020 release marked
the 34th major release of AutoCAD for Windows. The 2019 release marked the ninth consecutive
year of AutoCAD for Mac. The native file format of AutoCAD is .dwg. This and, to a lesser extent,
its interchange file format DXF, have become de facto, if proprietary, standards for CAD
data interoperability, particularly for 2D drawing exchange.[citation needed] AutoCAD has
included support for .def., a format developed and promoted by Autodesk, for publishing CAD
data.
Advantages of AutoCAD
The following are the top 12 advantages:
Accurate and Reduces Errors – The principle on which AutoCAD works is a dynamic
engineering model. This model blends design and production drafting together which
allows the changes to be made to any part of the design at any point in time in the entire
project. This results in error reduction and fewer chances of mistakes. Furthermore, the
designs which are made digitally always have room for enhancements and improvement.
Save Time & Money – With a specific and user-friendly interface and workflow,
AutoCAD works speedily which saves the time of the designer. AutoCAD supports
documentation tools that not only increase productivity but also help the designers and
architects to streamline the designs and documentation workflows. It also provides
solutions to implement modifications in the projects, thus reducing the time taken. It is an
efficient program that undertakes the work process of the designer and helps in saving time
and money and reducing errors.
5. 4
Easier Data Transfer – Using AutoCAD in Architect Designing has made it easier to share
files with multiple people simultaneously. It is not easy to work on heavy files and then
share them without any data loss. But, this software has made it easy to upload the designed
data on the internet and sharing it with numerous other designers.
Controllable in nature – This advantage of AutoCAD supports the scanning feature for the
data. This technique helps in measuring the quantity of the materials used. It also helps in
calculating the exact cost of the products. Eventually, it helps in managing production and
post-production processes.
Database for manufacturing – AutoCAD allows in creating manufacturing data such as
materials required for components, dimensions, and shape of the models, product, and
component drawings. This helps in creating and managing a wide database which is an
important part of the production process.
Easier Import/ Export of files – AutoCAD Inventor supports file import and export
features. AutoCAD allows the users to import models from Inventor and it also manages
to do it quite easily and speedily. AutoCAD also supports various other tools and features
that boost the productivity of the program. Some of them being; PDF support, compatible
with Autodesk 360, social media sharing, AutoCAD WS, DWG Convert, and many more.
AutoCAD also supports PRESSPULL operations which allows the users to create surfaces,
solids, and offset curves with much ease. These meshes are dynamic in nature and can
easily be manipulated. The designers can easily develop physical 3D Frameworks of their
designs with the 3D printing capabilities of AutoCAD.
Apply Point Clouds – Point Cloud is a large collection of points resulted from 3D laser
scanners to create a 3D presentation of default structures. The users can join these point
clouds to use as a starting point for their designs.
Layering feature- This feature allows the user to hide or show specific details of a
complicated complex group of drawings for clear understanding.
Calculation- The user can calculate Mass, Area, volume, Center of Gravity in no time. This
program has an Auto- Dimensioning feature that helps in designing easy and accurate
sketches. The users can also generate 2D drawings from 3D models.
Commands like Fill, Hatch, Section lines, chamfer, and fillet makes AutoCAD one-stop
solutions to many designers as these operations are impossible in manual drafting.
6. 5
Image tracing feature- This helps in a digital tracing of conventional diagrams and drawing.
PDF import enhancements- It also has an SHF text recognition tool that converts the
geometries imported from PDF text to Text objects which can be edited more conveniently.
Basic AutoCAD Function Keys:
The function keys of the keyboard can be used to control several AutoCAD settings, let us look
at a few examples below.
1. F1
This function key opens the AutoCAD Help window. It allows the user to take help online if he/she
is facing any functional issue in this software. If a user is working offline than by pressing this key
all the functionalities of this software will be opened in PDF format.
2. F2
This key opens a pop-up screen showing the command line on the bottom. This command is useful
to the user who feels difficulty in seeing the command window on the bottom of the screen.
3. F3
This command automatically activates the O snap feature of AutoCAD. O Snap feature of this
software helps to draw your drawing accurately. This will allow you to snap at the specific location
of your object while you are picking any point. For example, a user can accurately pick up two
points of the line, the center of a circle, etc. If you again press this key software will come out from
this command.
4. F4
7. 6
This key will open the O snap feature while working in 3 dimensional. This command will allow
us to accurately pinpoint on the particular position of a body.
5. F5
ISOPLANE is the plane with an angle of 30 degrees from horizontal. By using this shortcut key,
we can create any drawing in ISOPLANE.
ISOPLANE provides the following modes when working with a 2D isometric view of 3D models:
Ortho Direction
Snap Orientation
Grid Orientation
Polar Tracking Angles
The orientation of Isometric circles
This command will affect the cursor movement only when the snap style is set as isometric. If the
snap style is set as Isometric, Ortho mode will use appropriate axis pair from 30, 90, and 150
degrees.
By pressing this command again, we can alter between three ISO planes that are top, right and
left.
6. F6
This function key turns dynamic UCS on or off. UCS is a user coordinate system that a user can
define according to his requirement. Before 2007 when this command is not available while
8. 7
working, 3D user has to create a new coordinate system every time he/she changes his drawing
view. This command is only used when working on 3-dimensional objects.
7. F7
This function key will display grids in your AutoCAD drawing. The grid system allows the user
to reorient him and after that, he can focus on his design. He/She can make the grid visibility off
by pressing this key again. By changing isometric planes the user changes his viewpoint when
working in AutoCAD’s Isometric mode. It allows him/her to move viewpoint relative to the 2D
isometric object.

This command will turn ORTHO mode on or off. This is one of the most useful keys in AutoCAD.
This mode is used when the user has to specify an angle or distance using two points using a
pointing device. By using this mode cursor
movement will become constrained in the
horizontal or vertical direction relative to the
user coordinate system.

This key will make a snap grid on or off. Grids are the rectangular pattern of dot-like structure in
AutoCAD that covers the entire XY plane of the user coordinate system. Using Grid in AutoCAD
is like using the grid paper under your drawing. This will allow the user to align objects and
visualize distances between them. By using this key, you can easily snap to a rectangular grid and
create your drawing more easily and efficiently.

This function key will allow the user to use the polar tracking option of AutoCAD software. Polar
Snapping command will restrict your cursor movement only to specified increments along with
the polar angles. Polar tracking will display temporary alignment paths defined by those polar
angles you had earlier specified. It also provides additional alignment in up and down directions.
This command is useful while working on objects having more than one different orientation when
one part of the object is rotated 45 degrees in relation to another part. While working with this
command ORTHO command will automatically be shut off.

This key will allow using Object Snap Tracking Command. Object Snap allows the user to snap
onto the specific object location when you are picking a point. This is used with other commands
to draw your design more accurately. It is so much important to command that without it you will
never able to draw accurately. Some designers use object Snap Tracking command always ON and
never turn it OFF.

This command will allow us to use the Dynamic Input command of this software. Dynamic Input
provides user cursor input, dimension input, and dynamic prompts. When you right-click after
selecting dynamic input you can select any input according to your requirement. By using this you
can provide dimension inputs near your cursor instead of specifying it on the command line.
Auto CAD shortcut Keys:
To some that have abstained from utilizing keyboard-entered orders
out-and-out this may appear to be an overwhelming undertaking. Which means they will be more
significant than any other time in recent memory, and in particular tweaked to your AutoCAD
shortcut keys requirements.
By utilizing keyboard shortcut keys genuine efficiencies can be made to your work process,
regardless of on the off chance that you are now beyond words keyboard client or someone who
normally floats towards the utilization of AutoCAD’s strips and toolbars. The table has a list of
10. 9
some commonly used AutoCAD shortcut keys 2d and 3d that work with your computers and
software. It is highly recommended that all users should use these keys and try to remember them.

Conclusion:
The student version of AutoCAD is functionally identical to the full commercial
version, with one exception. Learning the AutoCAD Shortcuts Keys can make your work go faster.
You can use the default keyboard shortcuts and create your own.
You can learn and easily use the AutoCAD shortcut keys that AutoCAD 2D and 3D commands
using the software easily. Most of the Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering students,
Draftsman and engineers were using almost so most of them are using the Mouse only. So better
avoid Mouse using and quick command that as 2D and 3D Commands as in an easy way
