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. Parallel to the X axis.






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






4. At an angle of 90






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






6. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






7. To add explanatory notes to.






8. Occupying the same area in space.






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






10. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






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






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






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






15. Turning around an axis or center point.






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






17. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






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






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






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






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






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






23. 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.






24. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






26. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






33. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






35. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






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






37. 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






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






39. A realistic way of drawing objects in three dimensions using a horizon line - a key edge - and two vanishing points.






40. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






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






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






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






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






46. 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.






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






48. The distance from front to back.






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