Design And Modeling Vocab

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. The documents that are required for something or that give evidence or proof of something. A drawing or printed information that contains instructions for assembling - installing - operating - and servicing.






2. The measurement or extent of something from side to side.






3. A model devised to expose its parts for study - training or testing.






4. A cylindrical recess around a hole - usually to receive a bolt head or nut.






5. A proportion between two sets of dimensions used in developing accurate - larger or smaller prototypes - or models of design ideas.






6. A thin solid line perpendicular to a dimension line - indicating which feature is associated with the dimension.






7. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






8. Lying in the same straight line.






9. A measurable extent - such as the three principal dimensions of an object of width - height - and depth.






10. Attach or position securely.






11. Parallel to the X axis.






12. A preliminary visual of a possible idea for a design. Most thumbnail sketches are not full- size and have little detail. They are intended to quickly explore possible alternative designs.






13. At an angle of 90






14. An iterative decision - making process that produces plans by which resources are converted into products or systems that meet human needs and wants or solve problems.






15. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






16. The distance from front to back.






17. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






18. The use of a computer to assist in the process of designing a part - circuit - building - etc.






19. Occupying the same area in space.






20. A change or correction made as a result of editing.






21. A realistic way of drawing objects in three dimensions using a horizon line - a key edge - and two vanishing points.






22. A form of pictorial drawing in which all three drawing axes form equal angles of 120 degrees with the plane of projection.






23. Also called line width. The thickness of a line - characterized as thick or thin.






24. Designed to be practical and useful.






25. A flat surface on which a straight line joining any two points would wholly lie.






26. A method of representing three- dimensional objects on a plane having only length and breadth.






27. Lines - planes - or surfaces side by side and having the same distance continuously between them.






28. A line type that is used to indicate the axis of symmetry for a part or feature.






29. Lines that are thin and used to connect a specific note to a feature.






30. Dimensions that show the exact location of parts of an object.






31. A line type that represents an edge that is not directly visible because it is behind or beneath another surface.






32. A detailed description of the design and materials used to make something






33. Views is shorthand for multiview projection - which is a system used to view an object. The six mutually perpendicular directions any object may be viewed are top - front - right- side - rear - left- side - and bottom. Top - front - and right- side v






34. A form of pictorial drawing in which all three drawing axes form equal angles of 120 degrees with the plane of projection.






35. Used to describe the size and location of individual geometric shapes.






36. A sequential record of the construction steps in a 3D modeling program






37. A visual - mathematical - or three- dimensional representation in detail of an object or design - often smaller than the original. A model is often used to test ideas - make changes to a design - and to learn more about what would happen to a similar






38. An outline of something as seen from one side.






39. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






40. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






41. A method of realistic drawing in which the part of an object closest to the viewer is a planar face - and all the lines describing sides perpendicular to that face can be extended back to converge at one point - the vanishing point






42. A conical- shaped recess around a hole that is often used to receive a tapered screw.






43. To add explanatory notes to.






44. Parallel to the Y axis.






45. A straight line passing from side to side through the center of a circle or sphere.






46. To move in a circle about a central axis.






47. Standardization of lines used on technical drawings by line weight and style.






48. Turning around an axis or center point.






49. A heavy solid line used on a drawing to represent the outline of an object.






50. The amount by which something is out of line.
