3D COMPUTER GRAPHICS SOFTWARE

3D computer graphics software refers to programs used to create 3D computer-generated imagery. There are typically many stages in the ‘pipeline’ that studios use to create 3D objects for film and games, and this chapter only covers some of the software used. Note that most of the 3D packages have a very plugin-oriented architecture and […]

MULTIDISCIPLINARY DESIGN OPTIMIZATION

Multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) is a field of engineering that uses optimization methods to solve design problems, incorporating a number of disciplines. It is also known as multidisciplinary optimization and multidisciplinary system design optimization (MSDO). MDO allows designers to incorporate all relevant disciplines simultaneously. These techniques have been used in a number of fields, including […]

ELECTRONIC DESIGN AUTOMATION

Electronic design automation (EDA) is the category of tools for designing and producing electronic systems ranging from printed circuit boards (PCBs) to integrated circuits. This is sometimes referred to as ECAD (electronic computer-aided design) or just CAD. The term EDA is also used as an umbrella term for computer-aided engineering, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing […]

COMPUTER-AIDED MANUFACTURING (CAM)

Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is the use of computer-based software tools that assist engineers and machinists in manufacturing or prototyping product components. CAM is a programming tool that makes it possible to manufacture physical models using computer-aided design (CAD) programs. CAM creates real life versions of components designed within a software package. CAM was first used […]

COMPUTER-AIDED ENGINEERING (CAE)

Computer-aided engineering (often referred to as CAE) refers to the use of information technology to support engineers in tasks such as analysis, simulation, design, manufacture, planning, diagnosis and repair. Software tools that have been developed to support these activities are considered CAE tools. CAE tools are being used, for example, to analyze the robustness and […]

THE INITIAL GRAPHICS EXCHANGE SPECIFICATION (IGES)

The Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) (pronounced eye-jess) defines a neutral data format that allows the digital exchange of information among CAD systems. The official title of IGES is Digital Representation for Communication of Product Definition Data, first published in January, 1980 by the National Bureau of Standards as NBSIR 80-1978. Using IGES, a CAD user […]
