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. To add explanatory notes to.






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






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






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






6. Lying in the same straight line.






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






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






9. Attach or position securely.






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






11. Turning around an axis or center 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 straight line from the center to the circumference of a circle or sphere.






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






15. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






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






17. 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






18. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






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






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






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






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






24. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






25. 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.






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






27. 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






28. 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.






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






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






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






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






33. The distance from front to back.






34. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






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






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






37. 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.






38. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






39. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






46. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






47. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






48. At an angle of 90






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






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