Objective: To use computer technology into design process
Unit Contents
I Section solid: Plan, elevation and views on sections of simple solids like prisms, pyramids,
cones and cylinders. True shape of sections, sections of simple engineering structures.
II Perspective views of simple objects: Single point and two point methods as well as direct
method.
III Principle of Axonometric Views: Isometric views of simple solids including sphere.
IV Interpenetration of solids: Drawing Interpenetration curves in the following cases-
Intersections of Prism with Prism- Prism with cylinders and cones, Prism with Pyramid-cylinder
and cone- intersection of solids of revolution with plane surface.
V Development of surfaces: Development of plane and curved surfaces in combination with the
sections of solids and interpenetration of solids- Development of transition pieces.
VI Nomograms: Basic principles of drawing nomograms for the following cases.
i) Nomograms for the equation with two variables such as X + Y = const.
ii) Nomograms to solve two straight line equations, To draw addition and subtraction graphs
iii) Addition and subtraction graphs with logarithmic scale for the type xy=k, and Drawing
conversion scales.
