CAD Definition: Computer aided design (CAD) can be defined

as the use of computer systems to assist in the creation,


modification, analysis or optimization of a design. The
computer system consists of hardware and software to
perform the specialized design functions required by the
particular user firm. The CAD hardware typically includes the
computer, one or more graphics display terminals, keyboards
and other peripheral equipment. The CAD software consists
of the computer programs to implement computer graphics
on the system (system software) and application programs to
facilitate the engineering functions of the user company. The
application programs include stress-strain analysis of
components, heat transfer calculations, lubrication,
combustion, kinematics and dynamics of machinery, etc. The
collection of application programs will vary from one user
firm to the next depending upon product lines manufacturing
process and customer markets.
