This document discusses important software tools for mechanical engineers to learn. It lists AutoCAD, Pro/Engineer, C Language, and ANSYS as essential programs. AutoCAD is a fundamental CAD software for design and drafting. Pro/Engineer incorporates drawing, modeling, and analysis capabilities. C language is important for computational subjects and numerical methods. ANSYS is preferred finite element analysis software for structural, thermal and fluid problems. The document stresses that learning at least one software is crucial for mechanical engineering work and research.

1. Software Important to learn in
Mechanical Engineering

2. Software tools make things easy and fast for an engineer.
This presentation focus the important and essential
software tools which should be learned in mechanical
engineering.

3. List of software in Mechanical engineering

AutoCAD

Pro/Engineer

C Language

ANSYS

4. AutoCAD

AutoCAD is a fundamental CAD software used for
designing and draftinging.

Its commands and options allow to draw objects of any
size and shape.

AutoCAD can be used todraw two­dimensional (2D)
drawings, three­dimensional (3D) models, and animations.

It is a universal CADD software that is applicable to any
engineering discipline.

5. Pro Engineer

Pro Engineer is incorporated with complete package of
drawing, modelling and analysis.

It can be used to draw 2D drawing, 3D models and an
assembly.

It is also included with 2D CAD, 3D CAD, Data exchange
like IGES and other formats, dynamics publishing,
engineering calculations, Visualization and mock up etc.

6. C Programming Language

C language has great importance in Mechanical
Engineering while learning computational subjects and
numerical methods.

C is one of the best programming language as it requires
less memory and it is easy to learn.

7. ANSYS

Finite Element Method (FEA) deals with approx. numerical
solutions of problems including structural, thermal, fluid or
fluid structure interface.

For problems of thermal and fluid, FLUENT and GAMBIT
software are mostly preferred.

FLUENT is latest ANSYS version.

8. Conclusion
It is impossible to work or do research without using any
software in the areas of Mechanical Engineering. Therefore
learning of atleast one software is important.
