NEW WAVE OF CAD SYSTEMS AND ITS APPLICATION IN DESIGN

Abstract

This paper provides some lighting needed for the implementation of the new wave of CAD systems with emphasis on a general application as well as advanced. It is known that a computational approach is used in both design and education so step-by-step examples are introduced. Although the CAD systems are available but it needs a sound knowledge of many subjects such that: strength of materials and machine design. This work depends on the torsion theory but the input geometry was done inside the SolidWorks environment. The proper use of the CAD tool needs to start from a published case and construct many models in order to reach the final one. The process was done by exporting the geometry to other sophisticated engineering tools: ANSYS The adequacy of the obtained results was obtained by comparing with the theoretical data. Complex cases in both geometry and materials properties like plasticity are presented. Combining these systems with the teaching subjects deepens the engineering knowledge in the design and education.
