CAD, or computer-aided design, is a powerful modeling tool that technical professionals use. With CAD, architects can draw up building plans and engineers can develop component and system designs. Some CAD programs even allow users to perform stress analysis, demonstrating how well a proposed structure will fare when put to use. For example, when does a load become too big? How much weight can be put onto a bridge before it becomes structurally unsound? Using CAD, professionals can create precise engineering drawings in both 2- and 3-D, complete with dimensions and specifications, in a neat and readable format. This modeling method has taken design to a whole new level of efficiency and accuracy. We are fortunate to be engineers working in the current eraone of computers, technology, and ease of precision. Without CAD, we would have to draft (or draw up) design blueprints by hand, which can be tedious and time-consuming. With CAD, however, we can generate accurate 2-D and 3-D drawings, scale… Details:
