Computer-Aided Design

CAD software is primarily used to create and modify 2D and 3D models of objects, products, and structures.

Microsoft Word is a word processing software, not a CAD software.

CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) is the process of converting a 3D model into a set of instructions for a CNC machine.

PDF (Portable Document Format) is a file format commonly used for sharing documents, not specifically for CAD.

CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) is the process of analyzing the performance of a product or structure using computer simulations.

Web design is not a common application of CAD in engineering.

PDM (Product Data Management) is the process of managing and controlling engineering data throughout a product's lifecycle.

SolidWorks is primarily used in mechanical engineering, not civil engineering.

Rapid prototyping is the process of creating a physical model of a product or structure using 3D printing technology.

SolidWorks Electrical is primarily used in mechanical engineering, not electrical engineering.

Reverse engineering is the process of converting a physical object into a digital 3D model.

CATIA is primarily used in aerospace engineering, not mechanical engineering.

Finite element analysis is the process of analyzing the structural integrity of a product or structure using computer simulations.

SolidWorks is primarily used in mechanical engineering, not aerospace engineering.

Product lifecycle management is the process of managing and controlling the entire lifecycle of a product, from design to disposal.
