What is design?

* Design stands for creating Model

or
shaping up the Model.
 What is Engineering design?

Engineering Design is creating the Model Based on

Engineering Calculations and concepts.
Advantages Of CAD:

Reduction in TIME.
High Accuracy.
Easy to modify.
Increase in Productivity.
Easy to create complicated Designs.

CAD
COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN
In CAD we will give input as a sketch and
get output as a model
 CAM
COMPUTER AIDED MANUFACTURING
In CAM we will give input as a model and
get output as CAM program
 CAE
COMPUTER AIDED ENGINEERING
In CAE we will give input as a problem and get
output as a solution
Computer-Aided Design:
A CAD program is a
computer technology that designs a
product and documents the design
phase of the engineering process.
CAD is one part of the whole Digital
Product Development (DPD) activity
within the Product Lifecycle
Management (PLM) processes
Computer-Aided Engineering:
Software to aid in engineering
analysis tasks. Engineering software
programs includes finite element
analysis (FEA), computational fluid
dynamics (CFD), multibody dynamics
(MDB), and optimization.

Computer-Aided Manufacturing:
Computer-aided manufacturing is the use
of computer software to control machine tools and
related machinery in the manufacturing
process. This made manufacturing code easy to
produce with little more than simply clicking a
button on the process desired and generating the
code for the CNC machine.
 CFD
COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS

In CFD, air and fluid flow analysis over the inner and
outer circumference of the components can be done.

 ANSYS, Inc. is an American Computer- Aided
engineering software developer headquartered south of
Pittsburgh in Cecil township, Pennslyvania, United States.

Its a CAE software exclusively for all three process

such as Pre-processing, Processing, Post-processing.
 Ansys was developed by Dr. john swanson and
incorporated for use in 1970 through swanson analysis
systems, inc.

This company was purchased by TA associates in

1994, and renamed as ANSYS, Inc.
 The finite element method (FEM) is
a numerical methods for solving problems of
engineering and mathematical physics.
It is also referred to as finite element
analysis (FEA).
In finite element analysis, there are three main steps involved:

Pre-processing ( preparing the FEA model , usually

called as meshing)

Processing ( to solve the prepared FEA mode)

Post processing ( to interpret / understand the results

solved by the processor)
The ability to prepare and optimize the geometry for analysis and to use
Simulation to perform static structural finite element analyses, as well as provide a
brief introduction to thermal and modal analyses.

To simplify, or defeature CAD geometry, and how best to accomplish it.

To create parametric models in which geometric dimensions can be readily

changed.

To mesh the geometry, how to apply loads and boundary conditions, how to solve
the analysis, and how to post-process the results.

The basics of finite element theory and gain insight on how to create and analyze
models that produce accurate results.
The student will be able to effectively and efficiently
create, modify and/or import geometry for real-world
finite element applications.

The student will be able to create and analyze detailed,

real-world finite element static structural models using
the ANSYS.

The student will gain practical knowledge in performing

finite element analysis and understanding the key factors
in creating quality meshes, applying loading and boundary
conditions that mimic real-world applications, and
interpreting results.
