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






2. To add explanatory notes to.






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






4. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






6. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






7. Occupying the same area in space.






8. 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






9. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






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






12. 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






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






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






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






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






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






18. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






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






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






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






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






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






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






25. Lying in the same straight line.






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






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






28. Attach or position securely.






29. Turning around an axis or center point.






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






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






32. The distance from front to back.






33. 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.






34. Placed directly on a feature to identify a specific size or may be connected to a feature in the form of a note.






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






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






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






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






39. 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.






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






41. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






43. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






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






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






46. A straight line from the center to the circumference of a circle or sphere.






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






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






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






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