Engineering Design with CAD Fusion FIRST training 2011
An Engineering Challenge(some material excerpted from John V-Neun’s 2009 presentation) • Functional Requirements • Goals and objectives • Constraints • Physical (dimensions, weight) • Time • Money • Tradeoffs
The Engineering Process • Define the problem • Make sure it’s the right problem! • Generate specifications • Use the requirements and the constraints • Set priorities • Design concepts • Brainstorming
The Engineering Process • Prototype • Goal is to learn • Choice • Every choice results in some loss • Detailed Design • Build! • Document
The Engineering Process for FIRST • Design • Discuss concepts and Prototype • Analyze and Adjust your design • Prototype… • : • Detailed Design • Manufacture • The process is iterative.
Week 1 - Let’s Just Build! • But now… • Robot is too heavy • It’s too big • The parts don’t fit in the allocated space • Too fragile • Not easily fixable • Doesn’t perform the task well • Rework; waste resources • Week 6 - I wish I had designed
