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






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






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






4. At an angle of 90






5. 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






6. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






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






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






9. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






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






12. 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.






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






14. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






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






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






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






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






19. 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.






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






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






22. Turning around an axis or center point.






23. 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.






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






26. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






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






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






30. Attach or position securely.






31. 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






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






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






34. To add explanatory notes to.






35. Make larger in area.






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






37. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






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






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






40. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






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






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






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






45. 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






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






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






48. 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.






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






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