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. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






2. The distance from front to back.






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






4. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






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






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






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






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






10. Turning around an axis or center point.






11. 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






12. 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.






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






14. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






15. 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.






16. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






17. 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.






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






19. 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






20. To add explanatory notes to.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






29. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






37. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






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






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






41. At an angle of 90






42. Parallel to the X axis.






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






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






46. Attach or position securely.






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






48. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






49. Lying in the same straight line.






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