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






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






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






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






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






6. Make larger in area.






7. At an angle of 90






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






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






10. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






12. 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.






13. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






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






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






16. Occupying the same area in space.






17. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






18. 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






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






20. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






22. 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.






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






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






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






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






27. Turning around an axis or center point.






28. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






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






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






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






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






33. 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






34. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






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






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






38. Attach or position securely.






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






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






41. 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.






42. The distance from front to back.






43. Parallel to the X axis.






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






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






46. To add explanatory notes to.






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






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






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






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