Product Design Modeling using CAD/CAE: The Computer Aided Engineering Design Series

Description

Product Design Modeling using CAD/CAE is the third part of a four-part series. It is the first book to integrate discussion of computer design tools throughout the design process. Through this book, you will: Understand basic design principles and all digital design paradigmsUnderstand computer-aided design, engineering, and manufacturing (CAD/CAE/CAM) tools available for various design-related tasksUnderstand how to put an integrated system together to conduct all-digital design (ADD) Front Cover Product Design Modeling using CAD/CAE: The Computer Aided Engineering Design Series Copyright Dedications Contents Preface About the Author About the Cover Acknowledgement Chapter 1 - Introduction to e-Design 1.1 Introduction 1.2 The e-Design paradigm 1.3 Virtual prototyping 1.4 Physical prototyping 1.5 Example: simple airplane engine 1.6 Example: High-mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle 1.7 Summary Questions and exercises References Sources Chapter 2 - Geometric Modeling 2.1 Introduction 2.2 Parametric curves 2.3 Parametric surfaces 2.4 CAD-generated surfaces 2.5 Geometric transformations 2.6 Case studies 2.7 Summary Appendix A Basis functions of B-spline curves and surfaces Appendix B Representing conics with quadratic NURB curves Questions and exercises References Chapter 3 - Solid Modeling 3.1 Introduction 3.2 Basics of solid modeling 3.3 Feature-based parametric solid modeling 3.4 Solid model build plan 3.5 Commercial CAD systems 3.6 Summary Appendix A Sketch relations Questions and exercises References Chapter 4 - Assembly Modeling 4.1 Introduction 4.2 Assembly modeling in CAD 4.3 Assembly modeling technique 4.4 Kinematic modeling technique 4.5 Case study and tutorial example 4.6 Summary Questions and exercises References Chapter 5 - Design Parameterization 5.1 Introduction 5.2 Design intents 5.3 Design axioms 5.4 Design parameterization at the part level 5.5 Design parameterization at the assembly level 5.6 Case studies 5.7 Summary Questions and exercises References Chapter 6 - Product Data Management 6.1 Introduction 6.2 File management 6.3 Fundamentals of PDM 6.4 PDM Systems 6.5 Product data exchange 6.6 Case studies 6.7 Summary Appendix A IGES file structure and data format Appendix B Step data structure and applications protocols Questions and exercises References Project S1 - Project S1 Solid Modeling with SolidWorks S1.1 Introduction to SolidWorks S1.2 Single-piston engine S1.3 Importing Pro/ENGINEER parts and assemblies to SolidWorks S1.4 Solid feature recognition using FeatureWorks Exercises Project P1 - Project P1 Solid Modeling with Pro/ENGINEER P1.1 Introduction to Pro/ENGINEER P1.2 Single-piston engine P1.3 Slider-crank mechanism P1.4 Importing SolidWorks parts and assemblies to Pro/ENGINEER P1.5 Direct modeling using Creo Direct Exercises Index
