Description
Engineering Drafting and Solid Modeling with SilverScreen (R) is a comprehensive textbook that covers fundamental concepts of technical drafting and solid modeling. Computerized drafting using SilverScreen is emphasized throughout the text and includes topics such as lines, polygons, circles, spline and Bezier curves, fillet, chamfer, and dimensioning. Over 200 illustrations and 140 homework problems are included, in addition to appendices featuring basic drafting rules and principal SilverScreen menus, commands and other arrangements.
The solid modeling portion of the book succinctly describes how 3-D curves and objects can be generated, in addition to how 2-D drawing can be used to sweep linearly, circularly, or spirally into a 3-D solid. Boolean manipulations are discussed for making 3-D composite solids. The book emphasizes the power of SilverScreen for dimensioning through hidden-line removal, shading, color and pattern fills, and changing the light source.
Engineering Drafting and Solid Modeling with SilverScreen also discusses how to combine the use of SilverScreen with programs written in BASIC and C languages for solid modeling. Many examples are provided to illustrate this versatile approach.
With so many practical features, this book is an excellent text for students taking courses in computer-aided design, finite element analysis, and engineering graphics. It will also be a valuable tool for anyone who uses SilverScreen in their day-to-day work.
