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. An outline of something as seen from one side.






2. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






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






5. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






7. At an angle of 90






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






9. Parallel to the X axis.






10. Restrictions applied to geometric entities; for example - horizontal - parallel - perpendicular - and tangent.






11. 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






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






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






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






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






16. 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






17. 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.






18. 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.






19. 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






20. 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.






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






22. Make larger in area.






23. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






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






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






27. 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.






28. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






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






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






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






32. 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






33. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






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






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






36. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






37. Turning around an axis or center point.






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






39. Attach or position securely.






40. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






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






43. The distance from front to back.






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






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






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






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






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






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






50. To add explanatory notes to.
