Features: This book systematically introduces the basic concepts, fundamental technologies, and application examples of CAD/CAE/CAM, as well as the engineering software of CAD/CAE/CAM technology. The content includes the basic concepts of CAD/CAE/CAM, system composition, and software/hardware selection. In terms of CAD technology, the main topics cover graphical transformation techniques, human-machine interaction interfaces, product modeling and design technologies (such as solid modeling, feature-based modeling, feature-based parametric and variational modeling, and assembly modeling), as well as engineering drawing generation based on three-dimensional solids. In the CAE technology aspect, the main topics include the finite element method, optimization design, simulation technology, and reliability technology. For CAM technology, the main content includes CNC language automatic programming systems and CNC machining simulation technology. As a bridge between CAD, CAE, and CAM, this book also introduces Computer-Aided Process Planning (CAPP). Additionally, it covers CAD/CAE/CAM integration technology and related emerging technologies such as agile manufacturing, virtual manufacturing, and rapid prototyping technology. While maintaining systematic content, the book emphasizes novelty, breadth, and practicality. A key feature of this book is its extensive use of examples based on current popular engineering software like SolidWorks, ANSYS, and CATIA to help readers deepen their understanding of CAD/CAE/CAM technology and master commonly used engineering application software. This book can serve as a textbook for engineering students, as well as a reference and training material for technicians engaged in research and engineering applications of CAD/CAE/CAM technology.
