CAD drawing

Graphics In most cases a graphical presentation of each application is necessary. Here, it is possible to store photographs, sketches, CAD drawings, computer simulation results, and experimental results for use in the database.

Scenario selector Allows screening a set of scenarios or selecting the best scenario. Integration with other software AweSim is built on a relational database that can be accessed with tools such as Dbase, Access, FoxPro, and Excel. AweSim provides the capability to exchange data between its input and output files and these tools. Graphical elements produced by CAD, drawing, or paint programs can also be loaded into AweSim. 

Stereolithography is a technique widely adopted in industry in conjunction with computer-aided design, CAD, and computer-aided manufacturing, CAM, i.e. micromachining [32, 37, 38]. Stereolithography allows the fabrication of solid, plastic, three-dimensional (3-D) prototypes or models of products and devices from CAD drawings in a matter of hours. Rapid prototyping by means of stereo-...

FIGURE 1-6 This CAD drawing shows how the final product is made up of multiple parts. 

FIGURE 7-11 CAD drawings require that shapes be drawn to exact shape and size.

Nesting and cutter driving software is used to make the connection between CAD drawings and the cut output. The workflow in automated cutting involves the following steps ... 

Special software is used to assign different cutting tools to certain shapes in CAD drawings (different tools are used to cut contours, sharp corners, notches or holes). A complete tool setup also includes the cutting pressure of the blades, the cutting speed, the acceleration of the knife, and the time delay settings for moving the tool up and down. 

CALS (Computer Aided Acquisition Logistics Support. U.S. Standards Development Committee, comprised of industry and U.S. Dept, of Defense sources. A fast way to revise and update drawings in line with the way CAD drawings are handed today. 

When studying some simulation packages, the model can be viewed in 3-D. This animation allows the user to detect design flaws within systems that appear credible when seen on paper or in a 2-D CAD drawing. The ninth incentive for simulation is to visualize the plan. ...
