Features: This book provides students with the necessary foundational knowledge for understanding design and manufacturing through a series of carefully selected design-related topics and analytical methods. The text is clear and concise, supplemented by numerous examples to help students and engineers better grasp the concepts introduced. Generally, CAD should provide engineers with more time to create, conceptualize, and define problem statements, as well as to interpret the results of analysis. The book's teaching approach is example-based, with each topic featuring examples to illustrate the concepts. The fundamental engineering concepts introduced in this book are independent of specific application software. The book allows students to complete exercises using MATLAB, enabling them to delve deeper into the interdisciplinary nature of CAD. Additionally, certain designs or analyses in the book can be implemented using other languages or programming tools. This is entirely feasible in variable and parametric design. In these designs, engineering equations serve as the engine hidden behind geometric formulas and certain product designs.
