Sketchup: 3D Modeling Across Industries

CADDZOOM

Adding another innovation in the CAD design technologies is Sketchup. It is a 3D modelling computer program designed to create drawing applications in the field of interior design, architecture, mechanical, civil engineering, as well as landscape architecture. The technology is also widely used in films and video game designs.

Creating 3D Models

Unlike the complicated and difficult to learn computer programs, Sketchup is one of the most intuitive, easy-to-learn, and powerful 3D drawing tool. Not only for the 3D models, but the tool also helps the designers to convert their drawings into animated walkthrough. In this way, the designers and managers can have a detailed look at their product. Some of its features include:

  • Sketchup is a web application which helps users to draw almost any drawing using its online library that contains a collection of free model assemblies.
  • The users can draw different layout with their functionalities and surface rendering variable styles.
  • It is also loaded with some of the most powerful dimensioning and detailing tools that can work on the edges of the models in high details.
  • The designers can easily scale, format, and add further precision to the displayed measurements.
  • It also helps the users to integrate third-party plugins to include added functionalities.

LayOut Supporting Design Details

The SketchPro version includes LayOut which is a powerful tool that supports features for the page layout.

  • The tool can carry out vector illustration, slide presentation, as well as features for drafting.
  • It uses different viewports to offer different views of the project model, moreover, they also automatically update as the design model changes.
  • The most promising part of the model created by Sketchup is, they can be used over and over again across different projects.

The tool is a highly intuitive platform capable of designing a highly detailed models that can be used across different industries.

The Future of CAD: Emerging Trends in Product Design

CADDZOOM

The CAD/CAE industry is now able to manage more activities with the help of advanced enterprise or global solutions. The design engineers across multiple sectors are currently working with the new industry standards insisting the middle managers to work with the advanced design patterns. These patterns are also more inclined towards the customer demands as well as their own creative ability.

Simulation Workflow Management (SWM)

Although, the simulation activities carried out using the traditional desktop applications are capable of leveraging the power of global enterprise solutions across boundless data centres, the new technologies will make the complex design simulation task simpler. One of such a method is the Simulation Workflow Management (SWM).

  • It is a concept that integrates workflow management with the simulation technology.
  • SWM is used across the design industry for simulation purposes.
  • It also aims to make the simulation task of a complicated design simpler and readily available through its different features and functionalities.

Simulation Challenges

  • Simulation, in the traditional approaches, required computational resources and rigorous data transfers which is not always a good approach as the technology is transforming every day.
  • The emerging technologies also challenge the leaders with the large global simulation workflows across the multi-domain environments.

However, over the next few years, technologies such as the increased bandwidth, data centre capabilities on a worldwide basis, and the new business technologies will resolve these challenges.

The ESTECO Project

ESTECO, a software provider has gained extensive experience in this area. They align the optimization and simulation techniques with the standard industry. The company also have accepted the norms and the different notations to mitigate these challenges. It is currently working and testing a groundbreaking multi-domain SWM solution. The application will help different industries to innovate the different customized tools for the CAD/CAE industry.

SMW Making Product Design Easy

Such a technology breakthrough will be highly beneficial for the people working in the CAD/CAE technologies.

  • The technology will allow them to develop and store the simulation workflow process as the people at the different managerial levels controls and tests new ideas and concepts from any other computing device.
  • It will help the product and service designers and developers to explore new design alternatives and techniques to achieve them.
  • The technology will also be able to maintain a history of their SWM concepts and techniques.

The SWM technology, therefore, makes working in the simulation environment easy for the research and development teams. Moving forward, we can also expect new opportunities in this technology.

Skills which every engineer should have

CADDZOOM

For those who want to enhance their personality/ outlook and to impress their supervisors, make use of these tips and make this task a less daunting one.

Humility

Always be humble. Acting like a know-it-all could strike the wrong chord during negotiations or any discussion. Humility is important at all points of life and also the best way to connect with others and  drive conversations in different directions.

Personal Identity

Create your very own brand and work towards improving the same. It can go a long way in enhancing your career and professional outlook. Personal identity is the best style to express one- selves and his or her working style.

Positivity

Any engineer would be expected to show utmost resilience at all points of time. Instead of focusing on negativity, if one chooses to believe in positivity, their overall personal and professional outlook will become better and widespread.

Apart from the skills, your superiors, colleagues, peers or anyone with whom you work will try to associate you with the way you communicate or express yourself with them. So, take things on an easy and work on the essentials before you can come to any conclusion.

Nano Technology: The Engineer’s New Frontier design

CADDZOOM

Nanoscale energy transport is a new day working concept, that can redefine the whole engineering field.

Below listed are technological aspects that define the future outlook of Nano Technology:

Unlimited Possibilities:

Nano engineering mainly concentrates on material and design processing. With so many advances over the last decade, Nano engineering, will  become the new face of engineering and technology. Soon, there will be endless opportunities for manufacturing, microfluidics, robotics, biomedicine, energy, heat transfer, storage and much more.

Interdisciplinary outlook:

Nano engineering is so popular and integrated that, soon it will become the interdisciplinary branches for science and technology which requires the knowledge of mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, biology, physics, photonics, material science and other fields working on product and design management.

Advanced usage:

Nano technology will start to play an important role in research fields like Nano scale technology, energy transport, conversion, storage, electromechanical systems, Nano materials and alternative energy systems (Including solar photo voltaic devices) can be used to the maximum extent.

Interconnected to well being and longevity:

In the upcoming years, Nano technology will start to play a major role in enhancing mankind’s life and well being. It will become so possible that, chemically modified Nano material will start having huge impacts on biochemical sensing and human health.

Improved and Diversified Mechanical Engineering:

Through Nano technology it will become possible for mechanical engineers to start expanding their toolbox. Through Nano engineered materials, biochemical sensitivity, mechanical strength, selective transport, thermal/electrical conductivity and optical properties usage can be enhanced to a large extent.

Like any other technology, Nano engineering will soon revolutionize the way we see of work with systems, products and designs. It may be also possible for users to apply their understanding and see how individual atoms and molecules are controlled and composed of.
