Interdisciplinary Research using 3D graphics By Man Fai Guo
3D Graphics in Engineering • Computer-Aided Drawings (CAD) • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) • Finite Element Analysis (FEA) • CAD/CAM • 3D Printing • Popular softwares includes Solidworks, Creo, AutoCAD, and CATIA
3D Graphics in Engineering - CFD • CFD simulations are very popular due to capability of modern computers • It is generally much cheaper and faster compared to conducting experiments especially for large objects • Popular softwares includes ANSYS Fluent, COMSOL Multiphysics, and Abaqus CFD • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4Tk_4fCs9E
3D Graphics in Engineering-FEA • FEA simulations are also very popular due to capability of modern computers • Like CFD, it is generally much cheaper and faster compared to conducting experiments especially for large objects • Popular softwares includes ANSYS FEA and Abaqus FEA • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cdxv_V1ao2Y
3D Graphics in Engineering-CAD/CAM • CAD/CAM Softwares are used to generate Computer Numerical Control (CNC) codes • This very helpful for complicated parts • Popular softwares includes Delcam and FeatureCAM • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n6i5rb5RKs
