OBJECTIVES:
•          To provide an overview of how computers are being used in mechanical component design

UNIT I             FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER GRAPHICS                                                   9
Product cycle- Design process- sequential and concurrent engineering- Computer aided design – CAD system architecture- Computer graphics – co-ordinate systems- 2D and 3D transformations- homogeneous coordinates - Line drawing -Clipping- viewing transformation

UNIT II            GEOMETRIC MODELING                                                                                       9
Representation of curves- Hermite curve- Bezier curve- B-spline curves-rational curves-Techniques for surface modeling – surface patch- Coons and bicubic patches- Bezier and B-spline surfaces. Solid modeling techniques- CSG and B-rep

UNIT III           VISUAL REALISM                                                                                                   9
Hidden – Line-Surface-Solid removal algorithms – shading – colouring – computer animation.

UNIT IV          ASSEMBLY OF PARTS                                                                                              9
Assembly modelling – interferences of positions and orientation – tolerance analysis-massproperty calculations – mechanism simulation and interference checking.

UNIT V           CAD STANDARDS                                                                                                    9
Standards for computer graphics- Graphical Kernel System (GKS) - standards for exchangeimages- Open Graphics Library (OpenGL) - Data exchange standards - IGES, STEP, CALSetc. - communication standards.
