Product design modeling using CAD/CAE

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 paradigms
• Understand computer-aided design, engineering, and manufacturing (CAD/CAE/CAM) tools available for various design-related tasks
• Understand how to put an integrated system together to conduct all-digital design (ADD)

• Provides a comprehensive and thorough coverage of essential elements for product modeling using the virtual engineering paradigm
• Covers CAD/CAE in product design, including solid modeling, mechanical assembly, parameterization, product data management, and data exchange in CAD
• Case studies and tutorial examples at the end of each chapter provide hands-on practice in implementing off-the-shelf computer design tools
• Provides two projects showing the use of Pro/ENGINEER and SolidWorks to implement concepts discussed in the book
