Description
Summary:As a result of the application of the tools provided by the digital computer and interactive computer graphics, the reality of modern mechanical engineering design in the current industrial environment is changing. At the same time, customer expectations for the quality and durability of products are continuously increasing and the constraints of cost and lead-time are becoming more and more compelling. This situation poses new challenges in the product-development process and introducing, also, new demands in the preparing process of tomorrow's engineers and scientists, in order to a proper integration in the engineering curricula of the computer aided design, which eliminates the need for costly changes, unnecessary delays or unsatisfactory design releases. Along these lines, the objective of the paper is to present some of our experimented ways of integrating the CAD basics concepts with the use of a specifically design and analysis software. These techniques, very efficient in the instruction/education period of the futures engineers in mechanical domain, are exemplified with a design software dedicated for bolted joints, which have to transmit static, dynamic and thermal working loads.
