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






2. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






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






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






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






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






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






10. 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






11. Occupying the same area in space.






12. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






14. Parallel to the Y axis.






15. To add explanatory notes to.






16. 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.






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






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






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






20. Lying in the same straight line.






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






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






23. Attach or position securely.






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






25. Parallel to the X axis.






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






27. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






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






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






30. Designed to be practical and useful.






31. 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.






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






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






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






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






36. A point in space - usually located on the horizon - where parallel edges of an object appear to converge.






37. 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






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






39. A sequential record of the construction steps in a 3D modeling program






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






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






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






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






44. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






45. Turning around an axis or center point.






46. 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.






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






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






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






50. 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
