  1. Sketching: Start by creating 2D sketches using the provided dimensions from the reference drawing. Use tools like lines, circles, arcs, and rectangles to outline the primary geometry.
  2. Extrusions: Use the Extruded Boss/Base tool to generate the 3D base shape. Apply Extruded Cuts to create features such as holes and slots.
  3. Fillets and Chamfers: Add fillets and chamfers to the edges as per the given radii (R10, R20, R25, etc.) to match the specifications in the drawing.
  4. Additional Features: Utilize features like Rib, Draft, or Pattern where necessary to speed up repetitive elements.
  5. Mass and Center of Mass Calculation:
    • Assign a material to the part (e.g., Aluminum or ABS).
    • Use the Evaluate Tab > Mass Properties to calculate the total mass and the center of mass (CoM) coordinates.

Example Output

  • Mass: 2.36 kg (depends on material)
  • Center of Mass: X: 12.4 mm, Y: 15.8 mm, Z: 20.2 mm

Fluid mechanics VIVA QUESTIONS and ANSWERS

1. Define density? Ans: It is defined as the ratio of mass per unit volume of the fluid. 2. Define viscosity? Ans: It is defined as the property of fluid which offers resistance to the movement of fluid over another adjacent layer of the fluid. 3. Differentiate between real fluids and ideal fluids? Ans: A fluid, which is in-compressible and is having no viscosity, is known as ideal fluid while the fluid, which possesses viscosity, is known as real fluid. 4. What is a venturimeter? Ans: It is a device which is used for measuring the rate of flow of fluid flowing through pipe. 5. What is a notch? Ans: A notch is a device used for measuring the rate of flow of a fluid through a small channel or a tank. 6. Define buoyancy? Ans: When a body is immersed in a fluid, an upward force is exerted by the fluid on the body. This upward force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body. 7. Define meta-centre? Ans: It is defined as the point about which a body...

Isometric drawings for practice in AutoCAD

What is Isometric Drawing? Isometric drawing is a method of visually representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions. It allows for a clear and comprehensive depiction of complex structures by keeping the scale consistent and eliminating distortion. Isometric drawings use a 30-degree angle from the horizontal in all three axes (X, Y, and Z), creating a pseudo-3D effect where the height, width, and depth are equally foreshortened. Creating Isometric Drawings in AutoCAD AutoCAD provides tools and settings that make creating isometric drawings straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide: Step 1: Set Up Isometric Snap/Grid 1. Enable Isometric Snap/Grid:    - Type `SNAP` in the command line and press `Enter`.    - Type `Style` and press `Enter`.    - Choose `Isometric` and press `Enter`. 2. Switch Between Isoplanes:    - Type `F5` or `CTRL+E` to toggle between the top, right, and left isoplanes. Step 2: Draw Isometric Circles and Arcs 1. Isom...

PLUMBING Introduction Plumbing deals with the laying of a pipeline. A craftsman may be perfectly proficient with the hammer, saw and other tools, but the faces difficulties with leaking pipes and overflowing toilets. Many people rush to a plumber on seeking a tripping pipe, but a person with a little knowledge of the sanitary system can control this problem easily, saving time and, one with help of few tools. Plumbing tools The tools used by a plumber can be classified as follows Pipe wrench  Pipe vice Pipe cutter Hacksaw  Dies Files and Rasps Plumb bob Pipe wrench A pipe wrench is used for holding and turning the pipes, rods and machine prts. Wrenches are classified as follows. 1.Fixed wrenches  2. Adjustable wrenches. Pipe vice A pipe vice is fitted on the work bench. This has a set of jaws to grip the pipe and prevent it from turning while cutting, threading and fitting of bends, couplings etc. The yoke vice is co...

TIN SMITHY & Sheet metal

TIN SMITHY Introduction : Many engineering and house articles such as boxes, cans, funnels, ducts etc. are made from a flat sheet of metal. The process being known as tin smithy. For this the development of the article is first drawn on the sheet metal, then cut and folded, to form the required shape of the article. Allowance should be given in the drawing stage for folding and bending. This allowance depends upon the radius of the bend and thickness of the sheet metal. Sheet Metal Materials : A variety of metals are used in a sheet metal shop such as galvanized Iron, black, Iron, tin, Stainless Steel, copper and Aluminium. Hand Tools : The common hand tools used in sheet metal work are steel, try square, Wire gauge, Scriber, Ball peen hammer, Nylon Mallet, Snips Divider, Stakes, Cutting plier and Soldering Iron. Here, the details of tools that are being equipped by our workshop purpose only are presented. Wire Gauge: The thickness of sheet is referred in numbers known ...

Strength of Materials viva Question and Answers

1. Define Hooke’s Law.  Ans . It states that when the material is loaded within the elastic limit the stress is directly proportional to strain. i.e. Stress α strain. or Stress = constant x Strain 2. Define Strength of materials.   Ans . The strength of a material is its ability to withstand an applied stress without failure. 3. What is stress?  Ans . When load is applied on any object then a resisting force is induced, that resisting or reacting per unit area of cross-section is called stress. 4. What is strain? Ans . Stress is change in dimensions upon original dimentions. 5. What is deformation?  Ans . Deformation is change in dimensions of any object due to applied load. 6. On which steel you have performed tension test. What is its carbon content?  Ans . On mild steel (0.3 to 0.6% carbon). 7. What kind of fracture has occurred in tensile specimen.  Ans .

Sheet metal Funnel making

Making a Funnel using metallic sheet Making a Funnel using metallic sheet Aim:- To make a funnel from a given (GI)metallic sheet. Tools Required:- MALLET, SNIP, STAKE, STEEL RULE, BALL PEEN HAMMER, STRAIGHT EDGE, RIVETS, SCRIBER Procedure:  The size of the given sheet metal is checked for its dimensions using a steel rule The required development of surface is being made on the white paper which is overlapped on the sheet metal. The marking is done on the sheet metal as per the development being done on the paper. Now using straight snips, unwanted materials are removed. Now fold and bend the workpiece to make the funnel shape and joint is made on the workpieces. Then using a groover, a locked grooved joint is made for about 5mm. Also, hemming is done in the bottom of the funnel. In between top face and bottom face, a butt joint is made using a solder. Finally, trimming and finishing operations are carried out.
