1. Application in the manufacturing industry
CAD technology has been widely used in the manufacturing industry, including machine tools, automobiles, airplanes, ships, spacecraft and other manufacturing industry is the most extensive and in-depth application. As we all know, the design process of a product through the conceptual design, detailed design, structural analysis and optimization, simulation and several other major stages. At the same time, modern design technology introduces the concept of parallel engineering into the whole design process, and the whole life cycle of the product is considered comprehensively at the design stage. The current advanced CAD application system has integrated a series of functions such as design, drawing, analysis, simulation and processing into one system.
2. Application in engineering design
CAD technology in the field of engineering applications in the following areas:
(1) architectural design, including schematic design, three-dimensional modeling, architectural rendering design, graphic layouts, architectural design, community planning, sunlight analysis, interior decoration and other types of CAD application software.
(2) Structural design, including structural plan design, structural calculation and analysis of frame/row structure, high-rise structural analysis, foundation and base design, steel structure design and processing.
(3) Equipment design, including water, electricity, heating various equipment and piping design.
(4) Urban planning, urban transportation design, such as urban roads, elevated, light rail, subway and other municipal engineering design.
(5) municipal pipeline design, such as water, sewage, gas, electricity, heating, communications (including telephone, cable TV, data communications, etc.) all kinds of municipal pipeline line design.
(6) Transportation engineering design, such as highways, bridges, railroads, aviation, airports, ports, wharves and so on.
(7) water conservancy engineering design, such as dams, canals, river and sea engineering.
(8) Other engineering design and management, such as real estate development and property management, engineering budget, construction process control and management, tourist attraction design and layout, intelligent building design.
3. Application in electrical and electronic circuits
CAD technology was first used in the design of circuit schematics and wiring diagrams. At present, CAD technology has been extended to the design of printed circuit boards (wiring and component layout), and in the integrated circuits, large-scale integrated circuits and ultra-large-scale integrated circuits in the design and manufacture of the hand, and thus greatly promote the microelectronics technology and the development of computing and technology.
4. Simulation and animation
The application of CAD technology can be a real simulation of mechanical parts processing, aircraft landing and take-off, ships in and out of the port, the object force damage analysis, flight training environment, the combat approach system, the scene of the accident reproduction and other phenomena. In the cultural and entertainment world has been a lot of use of computer modeling simulation of realistic real-world no primitive animals, aliens and a variety of scenes, etc., and will be animated and the actual background and the actor's performance seamlessly together in the movie production technology to shine, making an exciting giant film.
5. Other applications
CAD technology in addition to the above areas of application, in light industry, textiles, home appliances, clothing, footwear, medical and pharmaceutical and even sports will use CAD technology.
