Cad technology
- 1. Understanding 2D &3D CAD Introductions to New Technologies in Drafting & Design Norman F. Simms Mechanical Electrical CAD Designer 215-269-0390
- 2. 2D Cad is Useful for Creating System Diagrams, Schematics, and Large Scaled Structures Norman F. Simms - Electrical Mechanical Designer 215-269-0390 2D AutoCAD Drawings
- 3. 3D CAD is Useful for Creating Objects and Assemblies for easy Visual and Conceptual Understanding Norman F. Simms - Electrical Mechanical Designer 215-269-0390 3D UG-NX (IDEAS) 3D SolidWorks
- 4. 3D Parametric CAD has 3 Basic Functions - To Create, Parts, Assemblies, and Drawings / Documentation Note: Parametric means that If the part changes, the assembly and drawing will reflect the changes also Norman F. Simms - Electrical Mechanical Designer 215-269-0390 3D SolidWorks Part Assembly Drawing & Documentation
- 5. Part Modeling has 4 basic functions - To create Machined, Molded Surfacing, Sheet Metal, and Weldment Parts Norman F. Simms - Electrical Mechanical Designer 215-269-0390 3D SolidWorks Machined Modeling (Surface Modeling Not Shown) Sheet Metal Modeling Weldment Modeling
- 6. Part Modeling is created by Sketches - it is assigned a Material, Specifications and you can Linked Values to a spread sheet for easy Future Modifications Norman F. Simms - Electrical Mechanical Designer 215-269-0390 3D SolidWorks Sketch Part Model Model Tree Attach Specification Material Linked Values (Dimensions & Equations)
- 7. Sheet Metal Models are able to Fold and UnFold for creating Measurements Norman F. Simms - Electrical Mechanical Designer 215-269-0390 3D SolidWorks Folded Sheet Metal Part Dimensioned Drawing Flat Pattern
- 8. Weldments are created with 3D Sketches that are assigned an Extrude Member that generate Cut List Norman F. Simms - Electrical Mechanical Designer 215-269-0390 3D SolidWorks Extrude Members Drawing with Cut List3D Sketches
- 9. Assemblies adds Relationships between Parts creating Mates Norman F. Simms - Electrical Mechanical Designer 215-269-0390 3D SolidWorks Mates Relationship (Concentric & Coincident)Mate Menu
- 10. Motion are seen and Analyzed with ease when Simulation are performed Norman F. Simms - Electrical Mechanical Designer 215-269-0390 3D SolidWorks
- 11. Norman F. Simms - Electrical Mechanical Designer 215-269-0390 This presenation only shows a small part of the many capabilities of CAD technology. All the models and drawing were prepared by myself with various CAD programs. If you are someone who is trying to understand CAD, I hope this was a help. If you are someone who need someone to help them create new design and documentation, I hope you will use the number below and give me a call. Thank You for Your Time.
