Mechanical Desktop
SolidWorks *Mostly use this
Solid Edge
What does FEM stand for?
What are some FEM systems and which one do we mostly use in this CAE class? - ANS FEM:
Finite element Method
ANSYS *
MSC NASTRAN
ABAQUS
AUTODESK SIMULATION
NISA
What is Solid modeling? - ANS used in CAD to create three-dimensional virtual models of
physical objects.
What is Feature-Based Design - ANS part is composed of 'features' such as extrusions, holes,
rounds, etc.
what is Parametric Design - ANS Dimensions are variables whose values can be changed as
design requires.
Give examples of a base feature, a sketched feature, and a placed feature - ANS Base feature:
extrusion, Revolution, Sweep. (First feature)
sketched feature: User defined shape (circle,square etc)
placed feature:
Predefined shape; Hole, Chamfer
