What is CAD & why is it important?

It helps users create designs both 2D and 3D designs to better visualize construction. CAD enables the development, modification, and optimization of the design process. Engineers can make more accurate representations and modify them easily to improve design quality.

What are the different types of CAD simulation and analysis tools?

A common CAD simulation and analysis tool is finite element analysis (FEA). This is illustrates how parts and assemblies behave when dynamically loaded. Examples include stress, strain, structural and vibration testing. Another related field of analysis and simulation is computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for examination of fluid flow.

What is CAD software?

CAD software enables engineers and architects to design, inspect and manage engineering projects within an integrated graphical user interface (GUI) on a personal computer system.

What are the intelligent features of CAD?

Other intelligent features include sustainability, energy and carbon footprint impact of CAD models, based on material choices. Alternative intelligent CAD attributes include design for manufacture (DFM) rules and ergonomic guidelines, both of which validate designs at the digital stage. Next...
