N.B 1) Answer any three questions from each section
2) Figure to the right indicate full marks.
3) Assume suitable data, wherever necessary & state it clearly.
4) Draw neat sketches wherever necessary.
SECTION A

.co
Q.1 a) What is ‘Concurrent Engineering’ approach for product development? Explain key 07
principles of Concurrent Engineering.
b) Elaborate role of manufacturing database in an integrated CAx environment with suitable 06
figure.
Q.2 a) What are the ground rules for design for graphics software? Explain in brief 07
b) Obtain transformation matrix for two dimensional rotation of a point ‘P’ in space by an 06

e
angle about origin. Also, prove that determinant value of such matrix is +1.
Q.3 a) What are the parametric & non parametric representations of curves? Elaborate with 07
suitable examples why parametric representations are preferred in CAD applications.
gin
b) Define feature based modeling. Why feature recognition is more suitable with boundary 06
representation scheme than with constructive solid geometry (csg)

a) parametric modeling
b) Sweep representations
en

c) Hybrid solid modelers.

SECTION B
Q.6 a) Explain Generative type of Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP). State its merits 07
over variant approach.
b) What is Group Technology? Distinguish clearly between Hierarchical and attribute type of 06
coding systems.

design? Explain any one.
b) Define different types of automation. Also, state their advantages & limitations. 06
Q.8 a) What are the basic components of a CVC system? Explain each in brief. 07
b) What are the different statements used to write a part program using APT? Discuss each 06
statement with suitable example.
