ME110- Introduction to CAD Craig R. Ronald Hylan 303
2
Course Format l Pro/ENGINEER »Industry recognized leader in mechanical design software. l Focus on solid modeling, detailing and assemblies.
3
Design Examples Barbie Beetle X-38 Crew Return Vehicle
4
Design Examples LeMans Race Car Paintball Mask Dentist Chair
5
Design Examples John Deere Combine Automatic Bus Transmission
6
About the Instructor l MS Mechanical Engineering U of R 1990 l Taught ME110 since 1987 l Used Pro/ENGINEER since 1997
7
Importance of Course l Only a 2 credit course but... l Teaches the language of engineering l Skill that is most likely to help job search
8
Web Site http://www.me.rochester.edu/courses/ME110 l The web site will be kept up to date l Check frequently! You are responsible for knowing the information on the site.
9
Blackboard l Log on at: http://my.rochester.edu/ l Assignments l Email lists l Grades
10
Course Outline l Phone numbers 256-6623 Work 259-6119 Cell (‘til 10PM) l E-mail: c.ronald@rochester.edu
11
Course Outline cont’d l Memory Stick –you will need to have a USB memory stick by next lecture
12
Grading l 6 Homework worth 8 points each, Lowest grade is dropped! l 1 midterm test worth 30 points, no curving. l Second exam worth 30 points on last day of class.
13
Six View Orthographic Projection
14
Three views are usually sufficient
15
l Choice of views –least hidden lines –clarity –only necessary views
17
Precedence of Lines l Visible l Hidden l Center
19
l Meaning of lines –intersection of 2 surfaces –edge view of a surface –contour of a curved surface
21
Section Views l Use section views to eliminate hidden lines. l All visible lines behind plane shown. l Hidden lines are rarely shown.
22
Types of CAD systems l Wireframe- modeling the curves of the part l Surface modeling- Model the surfaces of the part, but without knowledge of material. l Solid modeling- full solid representation l Parametric Modeling- dimension driven solid modeling.
23
Solid Modeling l What is a solid model? –A three dimensional representation of geometry that includes the shape definition of the geometry as well as a definition of inside and outside.
24
Why use a solid modeler? l Intelligent modeling- modeler can understand concept like through, through until, etc.
25
Accurate Detailing –Hidden lines –Section views –Auxiliary views
26
Manufacturing- l Tool paths may be made directly from the model.
28
Interference checking
29
Finite Element Analysis l Ability to do Deflection and stress analysis on complex parts/assemblies. l Complex problems are discritized into simple shapes.
31
Rapid Prototyping l Stereo Lithography –Light setting polymer is built up layer by layer with a laser.
32
3D Printing l Inkjet printer glues together layers of Plastic or Stainless steel powder. l Sintering binds the powder.
33
Demo
34
Types of Solid Modeling l B-REP– Boundary representation –The solid is defined by the surfaces bounding the volume as well as inside and outside definition. (outward unit normal)
35
Types of Solid Modeling l CSG- Constructive Solid Geometry –Primitive solid shapes joined together with Boolean operators define the solid. The model is stored with a tree structure. –Boolean operators are three-dimensional set operators (union, difference, and intersection).
