Flashcards

Extrude
A feature that linearly projects a 2D sketch to create a 3D object.
Revolve
Creates a 3D solid or hollow feature by rotating a 2D profile around an axis.
Sweep
Extends a 2D profile along a specified path to create a 3D feature.
Shell
Removes material from a part interior, creating a hollow cavity with specified wall thickness.
Fillet
Creates a rounded internal or external edge on a 3D model.
Chamfer
Creates a bevel on an internal or external edge of a part.
Loft
Creates a smooth transition between several profiles at different planes or points.
Trim
Removes parts of a sketch or surface that are not needed, based on selected boundaries.
Offset
Creates a parallel copy of selected geometries at a specified distance.
Mirror
Creates a symmetrical copy of selected features or parts about a plane or axis.
Pattern
Repeats a feature or series of features in a specified arrangement such as linear or circular.
Hole Wizard
Tool used to create standard holes of various types and sizes.
Draft
Modifies faces to taper them, usually for mold release in casting processes.
Sketch
The basic 2D drawing used as a foundation for creating 3D models in CAD software.
Dimension
Assigns specific sizes to sketch entities or 3D features.
Constraint
Restricts the movement of sketch entities by assigning geometric properties like parallelism or tangency.
Mate
Feature used in assemblies to constrain the ways parts can move relative to one another.
Measure
Tool for obtaining distances, angles, and other geometric information from a model.
Section View
A view that cuts through a part or assembly to see inside the model.
Bill of Materials (BOM)
A list detailing the parts and materials used to assemble a product.
Exploded View
Shows all the parts of an assembly spread out, but positioned to show how they fit together.
Rendering
Turns a 3D model into a photorealistic image by adding materials, lighting, and backgrounds.
Simulation
Analyzes the physical behavior of a part or assembly under certain conditions.
Surface Modeling
Creates complex surfaces using curves and lines, allowing for high-quality, curvature-continuous shapes.
Direct Editing
Adjust existing model geometry without the need for a history tree or original sketches.
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)
A symbolic way of showing specific tolerances on a part, providing clarity and precision in manufacturing.
FeatureWorks
An add-in tool that recognizes features on imported models, allowing them to be edited within the CAD software.
Configurations
Allows the creation of multiple variations of a part or assembly within a single file.
Weldments
A specialized toolset for designing welded structures with standard profiles and generating cut-lists.
