Activity 5.2b Introduction to CAD Modeling Skills





Conclusion

1.         What advantages do CAD sketches have over freehand sketches?
CAD sketches are more precise and some features can be easily repeated. 

2.         What disadvantages do CAD sketches have when compared to freehand sketches?
 CAD sketches can be harder due to learning curve of each application to use them.

3.         What types of numeric constraints may be applied to sketches?
Numeric constraints that may be applied to sketches includes the diameter, length or degree of lines.

3.         Explain the difference between the Fillet sketch tool and the Fillet placed feature.
I suppose fillet placed feature differ by selecting the outside edge.

4.         The Fillet placed feature is used to create both a “fillet” and a “round”. Describe the difference between the two results.
Round is the exterior part on curved edge while fillet is the interior corner.

5.         Could the Shell feature be used to create the opening in the Automoblox body passenger section (as in number 2 above)? Explain your answer.
Yes since shell removes unwanted parts of design hence can be carved out for passenger section.

Activity 5.6 Physical Property Analysis Questions for Aluminum Object One Directions: Complete the calculation by hand. Show all work below and select the appropriate answer based on your calculations. Check your work using the 3D modeling software. If your answers differ, explain why you think they are different where appropriate. 1.       What is the volume of the part? A.      1.875 in.³ B.      1.125 in.³ C.     1.375 in.³ D.     2.125 in.³ SHOW WORK:                  2.                                                       What is the density of aluminum in grams per cubic centimeter? (This may require research. Be sure to document your source.)  2.700 g/cm^3 3.                                           What is the density of aluminum in pounds per cubic inch? Show your work including all conversion factors.   0.0975 lb/in^3 4.                                           Find the mass of the object (in pounds-mass) if it is made

Activity 3.1b Linear Measurement with US Customary Units Procedure Conclusion 1.                   When you look at a drawing, how do you know if you are looking at U S Customary or SI measurements? Why is it important for an engineer to know this piece of information? US customary system has fractions. Moreover SI measurements are only in power of tens while US customary system is not. Engineers need to know this information or else they will end with the wrong measurements, which leads to  too little or too large designs.

Activity 9.1 Product Lifecycle Conclusion 1.       What is meant by product lifecycle ?  Product life-cycle is the process in which the object designed by engineer goes through. 2.       Why is it important for companies who make products to research and determine a product’s potential lifecycle?  This is important to determine the sources of material for product and to change the factory place in accordance with bulk-gaining or bulk-reducing industry. As well as the duration the product will be used by each person and to ensure its proper disposal. 3.       What would you change about your product? Why?  I think the product should be changed to be more tough. Because we didn't do a structural integrity test yet. As well as assembling by more interlocking wood joint. 4.       Do you think your product will evolve or become obsolete over time? Why?  The product can evolve if  new discoveries are made about the truth about ancient catapult.  Be
