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. Make larger in area.






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






3. 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






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






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






6. 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.






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






8. To move in a circle about a central axis.






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






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






11. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






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






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






14. 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.






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






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






17. 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.






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






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






20. Turning around an axis or center point.






21. Parallel to the X axis.






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






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






24. 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






25. The distance from front to back.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






34. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






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






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






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






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






39. Lying in the same straight line.






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






41. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






43. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






44. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






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






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






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






48. 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






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






50. 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.
