CAD/CAE/CAM: State of the Art
• An Essential Tool for Mech. Design and DraftingMore than one million mechanical engineers, designers
and analysts worldwide use advanced 3-D solid modeling technology
Another two million use 2-D mechanical drafting
• A Key for Improved ProductivityEntire automobiles, airplanes, jet engines, buildings,
bridges, etc., are being designed in an integrated (CAD/CAE/CAM) manner.
Internet is being used to exchange design data worldwide.Products that previously took several years to bring to
market can be developed in just months.The products are more reliable, meet customer
expectations better, and are less costly to manufacture.

CATIA©
• A process-centric CAD/CAM software solution marketed exclusively by IBM and manufactured by Dassault Systems
• A system used to design and manufacture many complex 3D products. Today, 7 out of every 10 airplanes and 4 out of every 10 cars are designed using CATIA-CADAM Solutions, making it the de facto standard for these markets.
A software of choice for a wide variety of applications ranging from consumer goods and machinery to plant design and shipbuilding.
300,000 CATIA users worldwide, nearly half in English language markets.

What Is Design?Design • Definition: The process of bringing together engineering
principles, material resources, and creativity to produce a new solution to a well defined problem
• A non-linear processConcurrent engineeringMany of the processes in design may be revisited several
times
• Engineers are just some of the players

A Six Step Design Process: Step 1Step 1: Problem Identification
• What is the problem?Defining the problem is the most important step in the
design processBe creative even at this step (brainstorm)
• What part of the problem do we hope to solve?• What is the design criteria?
What limitations or conditions will restrict the design?• Make a formal problem statement
Problem Description o A concise description capturing the main problem
Requirementso Conditions that must be satisfiedo Prioritize other items
Limitationso Determine constraints (cost, space, weight, environment,
etc.)Additional information
o Has this problem been addressed in the past?o Are there solutions to similar problems?

A Six Step Design Process: Steps 2-4Step 2: Preliminary Ideas
• BrainstormWild ideas are encouragedUse your imagination (be creative)
• Make sketches
Step 2: Preliminary design
• Select best of preliminary ideas
• Combine ideas
• Refine sketches
• Develop simple computer models
• Evaluate the merits of each design
• Look at the most promising ideas from the previous step• Work out the details of each design
More sophisticated computer modeling (design visualization)
How will the proposed design interact with other systems? How will the parts be made? What materials will be used? Rapid prototyping
Step 2: Refinement

A Six Step Design Process: Steps 5-6Step 5: Analysis
• Apply engineering and scientific principles to evaluate the design Stress, fatigue, or wear analysis Thermal analysis, etc.
Step 6: Preliminary design
• Select best of preliminary ideas• Combine ideas• Refine sketches • Develop simple computer models• Evaluate the merits of each design
• Choose the best design based on results of the previous steps (refinement and analysis)
• DocumentationDesign drawings (needed for patent application)Create working drawings (production drawings)Technical illustrations
• Build a prototype• Do thorough testing• Marketing• Production planning
