company of their respective domain. The students are compulsory to do training for
duration of 1 monthswhichisintendedfor theirexposure to the software industry. A well
planned, properly executed and evaluated software training helps a lot in developing a
professional attitude. It develops an awareness of software approach to problem solving,
based on a broad understanding of processes. Besides software training build self
confidence among students and let students know the technical knowledge and
professionalism.
During industrial training at AUTODESK, most of the theoretical knowledge gained
during the course of studies was put to test. Various efforts and processes involved in
designingof a component was studied and understood during the training. In our training,
I undertook courses of AutoCAD.
The training gave me good experience from the view of implementing my theoretical
knowledge in practical aspects. It gave me firsthand experience of working as an
engineering professional. It helped me in improving my technical, interpersonal and
communication skills, both oral and written. Overall, it is a great experience to have

7. INTRODUCTION
Industrial Training in CADD Includes several modules and combination of packages like
AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA, PTC Creo, Siemens NX CAD/CAM etc.
Different CAD Software Tool
When we think of Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD), certain questions arise that we
never thinkof whileworking on the drawing board. We do not use the essential drawing board tools:
paper, pencil, T-square, compass, eraser or scale, yet still have to d e s i g n or make a drawing.
When even one of these tools is missing, we know how aggravating it can be. With CADD we
don’t need even one of them.
Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification,
analysis, or optimization of a design. CAD software is used to increase the productivity of the
designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to
create a database for manufacturing. CAD output is often in the form of electronic files for print,
machining, or other manufacturing operations.
Computer-aided design is used in many fields. Its use in designing electronic systems is known as
electronic design automation, or EDA. In mechanical design it is known as mechanical design
automation (MDA) or computer-aided design (CAD), which includes the process of creating a
technical drawingwiththe use of computer software. CAD software for mechanical designuses either
vector-based graphicsto depict the objects of traditionaldrafting,or mayalso produce raster graphics
showingthe overall appearance of designed objects. However, itinvolvesmorethan just shapes. As
in the manual d r a f t i n g o f t e c h n i c a l a n d engineering drawings, the output of CAD must
convey information, such as materials, processes, dimensions, and tolerances, according to
application-specific conventions.
CAD may be used to design curves and figures in two-dimensional (2D) space; or curves, surfaces,
and solids in three-dimensional (3D) space. CAD is an important industrial art extensively used in

8. many applications, including automotive, shipbuilding, and aerospace industries, industrial and
architectural design, prosthetics, and many more. CAD is also widely used to produce computer
animationforspecial effects in movies, advertisingandtechnical manuals,often calledDCC digital content
creation.
OVERVIEW
Starting around the mid-1970s as computer aided design systems began to provide more capability
than just an ability to reproduce manual drafting with electronic drafting, the cost for companies to
switch to CAD became apparent. The benefit of CAD systems over manual drafting are the
capabilities one often takes for granted from computer systems today; automated generation of Bill
of Material, auto layout in integrated circuits, interference checking, and many others. Eventually
CAD provided thedesigner withthe abilityto perform engineeringcalculations. During this transition,
calculations were still performed either by hand or by those individuals that could run computer
programs. CAD was a revolutionary change inthe engineeringindustry, where draftsmen, designers
and engineering roles begin to merge. It did not eliminate departments, as much as It merged
departments and empowered draftsman, designers and engineers. CAD is just another example of the
pervasive effect computers were beginning to have onindustry.
CAD is used in the design of tools and machinery and in the drafting and design of all types of
buildings, from small residential types (houses) to t h e largest commercial andindustrial structures
(hospitals and factories).
CAD is mainly used for detailed engineering of 3D models and/or 2D drawings of physical
components, but it is also used throughout the engineeringprocess from conceptual design and layout
of products, throughstrengthanddynamicanalysisof assembliesto d e f i n i t i o n of manufacturing
methods of components. It can also be used to design objects. Furthermore, many CAD
applications now offer advanced rendering and animation capabilities so engineers can better visualize
their product designs. 4D BIM is a type of virtual construction engineering simulation incorporating
time or schedule related information for project management.
CAD has become an especially important technology within the scope of computer-aided
technologies, withbenefits such as lower product development costs and a greatly shortened design
cycle. CAD enables designers to layout and develop work on screen, print it out and save it for future
editing, saving time on their drawings.

9. APPLICATIONS
Computer-aided design is one of the many tools used by engineers and designers and is used in many
ways depending on the profession of the user and the type of software inquestion.
CAD is one part of the whole Digital Product Development (DPD) activity within the Product
Lifecycle Management (PLM) processes, and as such is used together with other tools, which
are either integrated modules or stand-alone products, such as:
 Computer-aided engineering (CAE) and Finite element analysis (FEA).
 Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) including instructions to Computer Numerical
Control (CNC) machines.
 Photo realistic rendering and MotionSimulation.
 Document management and revision control usingProduct Data Management (PDM).
CAD is also used for the accurate creation of photo simulations that are often required in the
preparation of EnvironmentalImpact Reports, inwhichcomputer-aided designsof intendedbuildings
are superimposed intophotographs of existingenvironments to represent what that locale willbe like,
where the proposed facilities are allowed to be built. Potential blockage of view corridors and
shadow studies are also frequently analyzed through the use of CAD.
CAD has been proven to be useful toe n g i n e e r s as well. Usingfourproperties whichare history,
features, parameterization, and high-level constraints. The construction history can be used to look
back into the model's personal features and work on the single area rather than the whole model.
Parameters and constraints can be used to determine the size, shape, and other properties of the
different modeling elements. The features in the CAD system can be used for the variety of tools for
measurement such as tensile strength, yieldstrength, electrical or electro-magnetic properties. Also, its
stress, strain, timingor how the element gets affected in certain temperatures, etc.

10. INTRODUCTION TO AUTOCAD
AutoCAD isthe combination of two words Auto + CAD. The word Auto stands for name of the firms
that is Autodesk and CADD is stands for feature of the software that is Computer Aided Designing
& Drafting.
AutoCAD is a commercial software applicationfor 2D and 3D computer-aided design(CAD)
and drafting — available since 1982 as a desktop application and since 2010 as a mobile web-
and cloud-based app marketed as AutoCAD360.
Developed and marketed by Autodesk, Inc., AutoCAD was first released in December 1982,
running on microcomputers with internal controllers. Prior to the introduction of AutoCAD, most
commercial CAD programs ran on mainframe computers or minicomputers, with each CAD
operator (user) working at a separate graphics terminal.

In this we use dimensions on drawings to convey size and specifications. Most drawings are
not complete until you have added dimensions. When dimensioning a drawing, we need to
consider the final output scale of the drawing, the placement of dimensions, and how the
dimensions should appear. In this we learn how to create, edit, edit text objects, scale text
and manage dimensions ina typical design environment.
