Principles of CAD/CAM/CAE systems / Kunwoo Lee.

By: Lee, Kunwoo.
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Reading, MA ; Harlow, England : Addison-Wesley, 1999Description: xviii, 582 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.ISBN: 0201380366 .Subject(s): CAD/CAM systems | Computer-aided design | Computer-aided engineeringDDC classification: 670.285
Contents:
Introduction to CAD/CAM/CAE systems -- Components of CAD/CAM/CAE systems -- Basic concepts of graphics programming -- Computer-aided drafting systems -- Geometric modeling systems -- Representation and manipulation of curves -- Representation and manipulation of surfaces -- Finite-element modeling and analysis -- Optimization -- CAD and CAM integration -- Numerical control -- Rapid prototyping and manufacturing -- Virtual engineering -- Standards for communicating between systems.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The book also features a unique illustration of the whole product development process through a practical case study that gives readers a clear idea how CAD, CAM, and CAE systems are integrated to accelerate the product development process. This book is carefully targeted toward todays students; topics are introduced in a concise, efficient manner, with mathematical terminology that is kept to a minimum. A background in programming, calculus, and matrix and vector algebra is helpful when using this text.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 537-547) and index.
