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 rounded interior blend between two surfaces. Some uses are to strengthen joining surfaces or to allow a part to be removed from a mold.






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






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






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






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






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






7. 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.






8. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






9. 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.






10. 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.






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






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






13. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






14. At an angle of 90






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






16. 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






17. Attach or position securely.






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






19. Parallel to the X axis.






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






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






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






23. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






24. Lying in the same straight line.






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






26. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






28. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






30. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






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






32. Occupying the same area in space.






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






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






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






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






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






38. 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






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. Make larger in area.






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






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






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






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






45. Turning around an axis or center point.






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






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






48. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






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






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