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. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






2. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






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






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






5. Make larger in area.






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. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






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






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






11. Lying in the same straight line.






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






13. Parallel to the X axis.






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






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






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






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






18. Attach or position securely.






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






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






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






23. The distance from front to back.






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






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. 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.






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






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






29. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






30. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






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






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






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






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






35. At an angle of 90






36. To add explanatory notes to.






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






38. 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.






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






40. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






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






43. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






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






45. 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






46. Occupying the same area in space.






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






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






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