A. INRODUCTION OF CAD
Definition:
Computer-aided design (CAD) can be
defined as any design activity that involves
the effective use of the computer to create,
modify or document an engineering
design.
Reason using CAD
There are several important reasons for
using a CAD system to support the
engineering design function:
1. To increase the productivity of the designer.
2. To improve the quality of the design.
3. To improve design documentation.
4. To create a manufacturing data base.
Design Process
DEFINITION:
A decision making process using these
elements
Basicscience, mathematics and engineering
science.
To enable available resource (e.g material,
people).
To meet a desired, measurable goal (usually
resulting in a product or system).
Design Process
The design process
Generally process of design is characterized
by Shigley as an iterative process which
consists of the following six phases:
1. Recognition of need
2. Definition of the problem
3. Synthesis
4. Analysis and optimization
5. Evaluation
6. Presentation
Recognition of need
Definition of problem
Synthesis

Presentation
Design Process
1. Recognition of need
- problem exists - corrective action can
be taken in the form of a design solution.
- identifying some defect in a current
m/c by an engineer
- perceiving of some new product
opportunity by a salesperson
Design Process
2. Definition of the problem
- a thorough specification of the item to
be designed.
- it includes the physical characteristics,
function, cost, quality and operating
performance.
Design Process
3. Synthesis AND
4. Analysis & optimization
- are closely related & highly interactive in
design process.
- development of a certain product design
- conceptualized by the designer, analyzed,
improved through this analysis procedure,
redesigned, analyzed again & so on (repeated).
- until the design has been optimized within the
constraints imposed on the designer.
Design Process
5. Evaluation
- measuring the design against the
specifications established in the problem
definition phase.
- often requires the fabrication & testing
of a prototype model to assess operating
performance, quality, reliability & etc.
Design Process
6. Presentation
- concerned with the doc. of the design by
means of drawings, material
specifications, assembly lists & etc.
- design data base is created.
Application
Application of computers in design
A CAD system can be beneficially be used in 4
phases of the design process:
1. Geometric modeling (Synthesis)
2. Engineering analysis (Anly & Opt)
3. Design review & evaluation (Evaluation)
4. Automated drafting (Presentation)

Mass properties Analysis
Involves computation of such features of a
solid object as its volume, surface area,
weight, and center of gravity.
Applicable in mechanical design.
It required painstaking and time-
consuming calculation by the designer.
Interface checking
CAD software examines 2D geometric
models consisting of multiple components
to identify interfaces between the
components.
It is useful in analyzing mechanical
assemblies, chemical plants and similar
multicomponent designs.
Tolerance analysis
Software for analyzing the specified tolerance of
a product’s components is used for the following
functions:
To assess how the tolerances may affect the
product’s function and performance,
To determine how the tolerances may influence the
ease or difficulty of assembling the product, and
To assess how variations in component dimensions
may effect the overall size of the assembly
Finite element analysis
Use to aid in stress-strain, heat transfer
fluid flow, etc.
FEA is a numerical analysis technique for
determining approximate solutions to
physical problems describe by the
differential equations that are very difficult
or impossible to solve.
Kinematic and dynamic analysis
Kinematic analysis involves the study of
the operation of mechanical linkages to
analyze their motions.
Dynamic analysis extends kinematic
analysis by including the effect of the
mass of each linkage member and
resulting acceleration forces as well as
any externally applied forces.
Discrete-event simulation
Used to model complex operational
systems such as a manufacturing cell or a
material handling system, as event occur
at discrete moments in time and affect the
status and performance of the system.
