Introduction to Designing Fundamentals of Design on creating effective and reliable systems. Key principles include ensuring functionality, simplicity, and safety while choosing appropriate materials. Designs should also be easy to manufacture and energy-efficient. Finally, considering ergonomics helps create comfortable and user-friendly products.

CAD (Computer-Aided Design):

  1. Design Creation: CAD allows engineers and designers to create detailed 2D and 3D models of objects, making it easier to visualize ideas.

  2. Precision: It provides high accuracy in measurements and dimensions, helping to reduce errors in designs.

  3. Editing and Sharing: CAD makes it easy to modify designs and share them with others, facilitating collaboration among team members.

  4. Simulation and Testing: CAD software can simulate how a design will perform in real life, allowing users to test and improve their ideas before building physical prototypes. cad

CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering):

  1. Analysis: CAE helps engineers analyze how designs will perform under different conditions, such as stress, heat, and fluid flow.

  2. Simulation: It allows users to run simulations to see how a product behaves in real-world situations without needing a physical model.

  3. Optimization: CAE tools help improve designs by suggesting changes that can make products stronger, lighter, or more efficient.

  4. Cost and Time Savings: By using CAE, engineers can identify potential problems early in the design process, saving time and money on testing and development. cae

CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing):

  1. Automated Production: CAM uses computer software to control machines and equipment, making the manufacturing process faster and more efficient.

  2. Precision: It ensures high accuracy in the production of parts, reducing errors and improving the quality of the final products.

  3. Design Integration: CAM works closely with CAD software, allowing designs to be easily translated into manufacturing instructions.

  4. Flexibility: It enables manufacturers to quickly adjust production processes for different products, making it easier to adapt to changing demands. cam

Introduction to Engineering Drawing Orthographic Projections Orthographic projections are a way to represent three-dimensional objects in two dimensions by showing multiple views, typically the top, front, and side. This method helps convey precise dimensions and details without perspective distortion.

Isometric Projections Isometric projections are a method of visual representation where three dimensions are shown in a single view, with equal angles of 120 degrees between the axes. This technique allows for a more realistic depiction of an object while maintaining accurate proportions and dimensions.

a6 Prerequisite for assembly in Fusion 360 Bodies Bodies are solid or surface geometries created within a single design file. They represent individual parts but are not inherently separate entities Bodies are often used for simpler designs where multiple parts are modeled together in a single environment. body Components Components are individual parts or assemblies that can be moved, manipulated, and organized independently within a design. Each component can have its own origin and coordinate system. Components are ideal for more complex designs, especially those involving assemblies of multiple parts component Assembly and Animation I designed a pawl and ratchet mechanism using Fusion 360, focusing on modeling, assembly, and animation. The mechanism consists of a ratchet wheel and a pawl that engages with the teeth of the wheel to allow motion in one direction. I accurately modeled each component, assembled them with appropriate joints, and created an animation to demonstrate the mechanism's operation. a1 https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c6117701-6edc-465b-8224-32ac4e82c886
