PLTW IED GLOSSARY EXAM
PLTW IED GLOSSARY EXAM GRADED A+
Balance ANS >> A Principle of Design. Pleasing harmony of various elements in a
product, print media, or art form.
Colour ANS >> The aspect of objects and light sources that may be described in
terms of hue, lightness, and saturation for objects and hue, brightness, and
saturation for light sources.
Datum Dimensioning ANS >> Common dimensioning method where each feature
dimension originates from a common axis, surface, or centre plane.
Defects ANS >> The non-conforming parts or components produced during
manufacturing, which includes the cost of raw materials, scrapped materials and
parts, rework materials and Labor, and Labor idled by defect-caused production
slowdowns.
,PLTW IED GLOSSARY EXAM
Degrees of Freedom ANS >> Each component in an assembly has six degrees of
freedom. It can move along X, Y, and Z axes (translational freedom) and it can
rotate around the X, Y, and Z axes (rotational freedom). When you place a
constraint between two pieces of geometry, you remove one or more degrees of
freedom. Movement is still possible in the unconstrained directions.
Density ANS >> The mass per unit volume of an object.
Design ANS >> The process which is a systematic method for solving problems
related to the development and innovation of products. A formalized process for
problem solving is critical for producing a desired end result in a cost effective and
efficient manner. An analysis of market needs and a clear understanding of the
design problem will help shape the results and keep the design effort moving in
the right direction.
Design Elements ANS >> The factors, including lines, form, colour, light, shadow,
space, textures, etc., that define the product. These take into considerations the
aesthetics and function in the development of a product.
Design for Manufacture ANS >> (DFM) Keeping available manufacturing methods
and techniques in mind when designing a product or part.
Design Principles ANS >> Ten underlying considerations that lead to an
interesting design.
Design View ANS >> A design view preserves an assembly display configuration
which you can recall by name when you next work on the assembly. One
advantage of using a design view is that you can turn off visibility of components
,PLTW IED GLOSSARY EXAM
you do not need to see and then save that view with a design view name. When
you reload the design view, only the components you need are displayed.
Detail ANS >> Shape or feature on a model.
Detail View ANS >> A view that magnifies, or scales up, a feature on the drawing
object that is small relative to the total size of the part.
Dimetric ANS >> A drawing projected so that the plane of projection of a three-
dimensional drawing is at an equal angle to two of the three axes of the object.
Diagonal ANS >> A line that is slanting or oblique.
Diameter ANS >> The straight distance from one outside curved surface through
the centre point to the opposite outside curved surface. The longest chord in the
circle.
Dimension Line ANS >> Thin line segment capped on the ends with arrowheads,
that
indicate the length of the dimension.
Dimension ANS >> Numerical value used on a drawing to describe location, size,
shape, or geometric characteristic.
Dimensioning ANS >> The process of placing measurements and notes on a
drawing to completely communicate its meaning.
, PLTW IED GLOSSARY EXAM
Diminution ANS >> Objects further away appear smaller.
Drag and Drop Component ANS >> Drag and drop can be used to place multiple
components in an assembly. The dropped components will appear at the bottom
of the browser.
Drive Constraint ANS >> The simulation of mechanical motion by moving a
constraint through a sequence of steps. For example, you can rotate a component
by driving an angular
constraint from zero to 360 degrees.
Durability ANS >> The ability of a product to withstand abuse and still meet the
design requirements. For a package, it is the ability to protect a product from
factory to market and from market to consumer.
Edge ANS >> The line where two surfaces or points intersect.
Editing Constraints ANS >> The following constraints can be edited in the
browser: offset, angle, selected components, and direction.
Ellipse ANS >> The group or set of all points in the same plane whose sum of
distances from two points (foci) is constant. An ellipse looks like a squashed circle
or a circle viewed at an angle.
Emphasis ANS >> A Principle of Design. Points of attention in a design. The
feature in a design that attracts one's eye.
