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. Attach or position securely.






2. 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






3. 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






4. 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.






5. The distance from front to back.






6. 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.






7. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






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






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






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






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






13. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






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






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






17. Make larger in area.






18. Turning around an axis or center point.






19. Parallel to the X axis.






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






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






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






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






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






25. Occupying the same area in space.






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






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






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






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






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






31. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






32. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






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






34. To add explanatory notes to.






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






36. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






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






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






39. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






40. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






41. 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






42. At an angle of 90






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






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






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






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






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






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






49. Parallel to the Y axis.






50. 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.
