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. Having the dimensions of height and width - height and depth - or width and depth only.






2. Thin lines capped with arrowheads - which may be broken along their length to provide space for the dimension numerals.






3. A full- scale working model used to test a design concept by making actual observations and necessary adjustments.






4. Having the dimensions of height - width - and depth.






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






6. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






7. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






8. A closed geometric figure in a plane formed by connecting line segements endpoint to endpoint with each segment intersecting exactly two others. Polygons are classified by the number of sides they have - such as a triangle has three sides - a quadril






9. Occupying the same area in space.






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






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






12. A limit to a design process. Constraints may be such things as appearance - funding - space - materials - and human capabilities. A limitation or restriction.






13. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






14. A rounded interior blend between two surfaces. Some uses are to strengthen joining surfaces or to allow a part to be removed from a mold.






15. Make larger in area.






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






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






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






19. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






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






21. Thin lines that serve as guides while sketching or drawing.






22. The surface that 2D profiles can be sketched on.






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






24. At an angle of 90






25. Parallel to the Y axis.






26. 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






27. To add explanatory notes to.






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






29. 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.






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






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






32. A straight line or plane that touches a curve or curved surface at one point.






33. 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.






34. The distance from front to back.






35. A point in space - usually located on the horizon - where parallel edges of an object appear to converge.






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






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






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






39. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






40. A form of pictorial drawing in which vanishing points are used to provide the depth and distortion that is seen with the human eye.






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






42. To imagine the visual form of an object or situation that one cannot see.






43. A rough drawing representing the main features of an object or scene and often made as a preliminary study.






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






45. 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






46. Attach or position securely.






47. The measurement of someone or something from head to foot or from base to top.






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






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






50. Circles or arcs that share the same center.
