 INTRODUCTION OF SOLIDWORK

SolidWorks is a solid modeling computer-aided design and computer-aided engineering application published by DASSAULT SYSTEMS. According to the publisher, over two million engineers and designers at more than 165,000 companies were using SolidWorks as of 2013. Also according to the company, fiscal year 2011-12 revenue for SolidWorks. SOLIDWORKS is used to develop mechatronics systems from beginning to end, such as ;
1.  for planning, visual ideation, modeling, feasibility assessment, prototyping, and project management.
2. for design and building of mechanical, electrical, and software elements.
3. for management, including device management, analytics, data automation, and cloud services. 
The SOLIDWORKS software solutions are used by mechanical, electrical, and electronics engineers to form a connected design. The suite of programs is aimed at keeping all engineers in communication and able to respond to design needs or changes.

ADVANTAGES OF SOLIDWORK

1. Increase Productivity

SOLIDWORKS 3D modeling allows to simulate the design aspect in 3D right away and make any necessary adjustments right away. This increases the designer’s efficiency because he won’t have to rethink the concept later. SOLIDWORKS drawings also help to detect inconsistencies and allows the designer to make changes to models and sketches before they are finished. This cuts down on manufacturing time and enhances the process, making it more cost-effective and allowing companies to adhere to tight deadlines.

2. Design Better

Traditional drafting methods entail manually recording various aspects of a mechanical component, which is a time-consuming process that requires high levels of accuracy. SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD models come preloaded with versatile documentation options, such as documenting product geometries and measurements, material specifications, bill of materials, and so on, it simplifies the entire process of documenting component designs.

Designers may use existing design templates which allows for the automated dimensioning of 3D CAD models as per industry standards and ensures design accuracy while also saving time. It also helps you calculate forces resulting from motion, flow, component stress, and deflection, as well as vibration and temperature effects.

You can save time by creating several configurations using parameters and guidelines to quickly create existing designs with minor adjustments. In this way, you can imagine and design several iterations of a concept in the time it would take to create only one. One of the most significant benefits of incorporating a fully integrated 3D design development environment like SOLIDWORKS is that it reduces the risk of any human error.

3. Cost-Efficient

Several standard built components are included in 3D CAD, saving the designer the time and effort of designing them from scratch. This helps you save both time and money. You can save money with SOLIDWORKS by shortening design cycles and speeding up time to market, as well as eliminating duplicative, repetitive activities and costs.


INTRODUCTION OF AUTOCAD

AutoCAD is a CAD and drafting software application. It was developed and marketed by Autodesk. It was released and demonstrated in December 1982 as a desktop app running on microcomputers with internal graphic controllers. It has been used in many type of industry such as architects, project managers, engineers, graphic designers, city planners and other professionals.   

FEATURES IN AUTOCAD:

1.  It is Compatibility with other software

-ESRI ArcMap 10 permits export as AutoCAD drawing files. Civil 3D permits export as AutoCAD objects and as LandXML. Third-party file converters exist for specific formats such as Bentley MX GENIO Extension, PISTE Extension (France), ISYBAU (Germany), OKSTRA and Microdrainage (UK).

-  It also can convert to pdf. However, the accuracy of the results may be unpredictable or distorted.

 

2.  It has include many language

-Languages available in Autocad and Autocad LT are: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Czech, Polish and Hungarian (also through additional language packs).

-The extent of localization varies from full translation of the product to documentation only. The AutoCAD command set is localized as a part of the software localization.

 

3.  Extensions

AutoCAD supports a number of APIs for customization and automation. These include AutoLISP, Visual LISP, VBA, .NET and ObjectARX. ObjectARX is a C++ class library, which was also the base for:

-products extending AutoCAD functionality to specific fields.

-creating products such as AutoCAD Architecture, AutoCAD Electrical, AutoCAD Civil 3D.

-third-party AutoCAD-based application.









ADVANTAGES OF AUTOCAD

1. Accurate and Reduces Errors

The principle on which AutoCAD works is a dynamic engineering model. This model blends design and production drafting together, which allows the changes to be made to any part of the design at any point in time in the entire project. This results in error reduction and fewer chances of mistakes. Furthermore, the designs which are made digitally always have room for enhancements and improvement.


2. Save Time & Money

With a specific and user-friendly interface and workflow, AutoCAD works speedily, which saves the time of the designer. AutoCAD supports documentation tools that increase productivity and help the designers and architects streamline the designs and documentation workflows. It also provides solutions to implement modifications in the projects, thus reducing the time taken. It is an efficient program that undertakes the designer’s work process and helps in saving time and money and reducing errors.

 

3. Easier Import/ Export of files

AutoCAD Inventor supports file import and export features. AutoCAD allows the users to import models from Inventor, and it also manages to do it quite easily and speedily. AutoCAD also supports various other tools and features that boost the productivity of the program. Some of them being; PDF support, compatible with Autodesk 360, social media sharing, AutoCAD WS, DWG Convert, and many more. AutoCAD also supports PRESSPULL operations, allowing the users to create surfaces, solids, and offset curves with much ease. These meshes are dynamic in nature and can easily be manipulated. The designers can easily develop physical 3D Frameworks of their designs with the 3D printing capabilities of AutoCAD.

          Science is a field of knowledge that includes organized studies of physical and natural phenomena. Chemical science involves studying the behavior of matter  around us through observation and experimentation. The  curriculum of chemical science schools in most countries consists of two parts: theory and practice. Theory literally conveys knowledge to students, while practice connects theory with physical reality. Experiments are an important part of  chemical science as they help us better understand the complex interactions of chemicals. Common facilities that provide a controlled environment for conducting these experiments are known by the name of the institute of a school, institution, or  other organization. When working in a chemistry laboratory, you will come across a variety of equipment needed to carry out experiments. It is important to understand how these devices work. If it doesn't work, not only does it increase the ri...
