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. The distance from front to back.






2. 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.






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






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






5. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






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






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






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






10. 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






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






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






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






14. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






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






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






17. To add explanatory notes to.






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






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






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






21. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






22. 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.






23. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






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






25. Attach or position securely.






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






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






28. 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.






29. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






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






31. Occupying the same area in space.






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






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






34. Make larger in area.






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






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






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






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






39. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






40. Parallel to the Y axis.






41. 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






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






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






44. At an angle of 90






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






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






47. Lying in the same straight line.






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






49. Turning around an axis or center point.






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