The document discusses software components used in computer-aided design (CAD) systems. It describes how CAD software allows designers to create 2D and 3D models, replacing manual drafting tools. CAD software components include CAD programs to create and manipulate shapes, CAM programs to control manufacturing, and CAE programs to analyze designs. CAD systems can be divided based on the technology used, such as 2D drawing, 3D wireframe modeling, surface modeling, or 3D solid modeling. Window-based CAD systems use a window-like user interface with modularized, object-oriented programming and can support parametric or variational modeling as well as the internet.

used by designers and engineers to create two dimensional and three dimensional model of physical components. Cad software has all but replaced the t- square and protractors used by the designers of yesterday in a process knowns as manual drafting SOFTWARE COMPONENTS Cad software allows the designer to create and manipulate a shape interactively and store it. Cam software plans , manages and controls the operations of a manufacturing site. Cae software analyzes design geometry , allowing designer to study product behavior . Ex : c++ , basic , java , cobal.
CAD SOFTWARES
cad software can be divided based upon the technology used
2D drawing . Basic 3D drawing (such as wire frame modeling) Sculptured surfaces (such as surface modeling) 3D solid modeling . Engineering analysis . WINDOW BASED CAD SYSTEM User interface is similar to window . Employs component technology , in which best key software elements are selected from among aviable software. Use object oriented technology , which modularizes the program. Capable of either parametric or variational modeling . Internet support. THANK YOU
