Standard Mechanical Engineering Tools are usually 2-dimensional (2D) or 3-dimensional (3D). The typical choices in the 2D realm are AutoCAD and CadKey, although there are others with compatible performance. The typical choices for 3D tools are ProEngineer and SolidWorks, again with others with compatible performance. Besides CAD programs, the ME Tools may include software for cooling air flow and mechanical stress analysis, among others. These help the ME to model and analyze his design before fabrication. 3D tools sometimes have these extra capabilities available in add-in modules. Some tools have many built-in modules such as Catia. As should be expected, the greater the performance often demands a greater price. |
