Top 10 best Mechanical CAD software for all levels.

There are several CAD software available in the market which Mechanical professionals can use and excel in. But the question is which is the most widely used CAD software? Which CAD software does a Mechanical fresher or Mechanical Professional must know? The answer is, it completely depends upon the Domain in which any Company works and the application of that particular Company.

Here is the list of top 10 Mechanical CAD software depending upon their efficiency and accuracy levels and also depending upon the type of Industries using them.


A) Low-end Mechanical CAD software

1. AutoCAD: Most widely used CAD software in the world, especially used for 2D Drawings and basic 3D Modeling. AutoCAD is very strong with shortcuts, which make its use easier and faster. It is also called low-end software, due to its limitation up to 2D Drawings. It is usually used by small Industries; those are particularly involved in Drawings. It is owned by Autodesk Company.

2. ZWCAD: The Graphical user interface and features of ZWCAD are mostly similar to AutoCAD. It can be used as an alternative to AutoCAD due to its low license cost and equivalent capabilities. It is also used for 2D Drawings and basic 3D Modeling. It is developed by ZWSOFT Company.


B) Medium end Mechanical CAD software

3. Creo: Medium level Mechanical CAD software, especially strong in Casting and Sheet Metal Domain. It is usually used by Startups and medium-level industries. It is developed by PTC Company.

4. Solid edge: Another Medium level CAD software, especially strong in the Part modeling domain. Synchronous Modeling is one of the unique features of Solid edge and this makes it different from other CAD software. It is developed by Siemens Company.

5. Rhino 3D or Rhino or Rhinoceros: Rhino is also a medium-end Mechanical CAD software mostly used for 3D Modeling, Rendering, and Animations. It offers compatibility with other software as it supports over 30 CAD file formats for importing and exporting purposes. For 3D printing, Rhino software can be used very well. It was developed by Robert McNeel & Associates.


C) High-end Mechanical CAD software

6. Inventor: Inventor is high-end Mechanical CAD software, especially strong in Part modeling and Assembly workbench. Usually used by medium and high-end Industries for performing their applications. It is developed by Autodesk Company.

7. Solid works: High-end Mechanical CAD software specially used for 3D Modeling and Assembly purposes. It is one of the most widely used CAD software in the world for 3D Modeling because of its great and flexible capabilities. It is developed by Dassault Systemes.

8. Fusion 360: This software is having a good graphical user interface, along with some excellent unique tools. It is especially used for Assembly purposes. For 3D Printing, this is one of the best software which you can use. It is developed by Autodesk.


D) Advanced high-end Mechanical CAD software

9. CATIA: It is advanced high-end Mechanical CAD software, especially used in the Automotive, Aerospace, and defense domain due to its high precision and accuracy. It is used by advanced-level industries to serve their applications. CATIA is mostly strong in the Surfacing domain, because of its Generative Shape Design (GSD) workbench, which has some advanced and unique capabilities. Reverse Engineering, Simulation, Injection Molding, Intricate shapes can be easily done in CATIA. Today, it is one of the best and widely used Mechanical CAD software in the whole world. It is developed by Dassault Systemes.

10. NX CAD or UG NX or Siemens NX: Another advanced High-end Mechanical CAD Software and a direct competitor to CATIA in today’s world. Nowadays, most of the advanced level companies are switching from CATIA to NX CAD, due to its high accuracy and low license cost as compared to CATIA. Surfacing, advanced Modeling, reverse engineering, Injection Molding can be very easily done in NX. It has a Synchronous Modeling feature, which makes it unique from other CAD software. It is developed by Siemens.

So, if you wish to join any Design industry you must know any of these CAD Softwares along with Technical Product and Domain knowledge.

6 Most Used Commercial CAE Software in the Market

Image
Introduction Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) is one of the fast-growing fields of engineering. In which we solve engineering problems by using different numerical approaches like FEM, FDM, FVM, etc. But one of the biggest questions in many young CAE enthusiasts which software one should learn to excel in the field of CAE. Many CAE software’s are available in the market and each software is having its own significance. Some of them are domain-based, like “OpenFOAM” which computational fluid dynamics software;  “MSC ADAMS” is the best Multibody dynamics software, while “ALTAIR INSPIRE” is used for Optimization, etc.   Top 6 CAE softwares Commonly used software’s of CAE Let’s discuss 6CAE software’s which are commonly used in most industries. There are also other CAE software’s available in the market, but the reason behind discussing only these 6 software’s is; they are used in most of the industries. They are ANSYS, HyperWorks, LS-DYNA, ANSA, LS-PRE POST, and ABAQUS.

Y ou have to agree with me that front-end development and the rest of the technologies are rapidly changing in today’s world... There was a time when front-end developers only needed to know HTML, CSS & JavaScript to develop the user interface for the websites. But if we have a look at current market trends and technologies in the web development sector, you’ll notice everything has changed over the past few years. The way you were building your websites, the way you were structuring your code/projects. Literally everything! Nowadays front-end developers not only need to know HTML, CSS and JavaScript but also one has to be good with at least one front-end framework or library. And when we talk about front-end frameworks/libraries, only 3 key options pop up in our minds. 1.     Angular 2.     React 3.     Vue As we all know, all of them are built on top of JavaScript and do the same kind of jobs in the development area. In today’s blog, we’re not going to cover all of these 3, bu

Basic Drawing commands for AutoCAD

  AutoCAD is one of the oldest CAD Software, especially used for drafting purposes. If you wish to learn AutoCAD, then you should know all of these basic commands. Basic drawing commands will be available in the ‘Drafting and Annotation’ workspace in AutoCAD. This is the list of some of the most basic AutoCAD drawing commands which every AutoCAD user should know. 1.   DRAW: This is one of the most important toolbars used for drawing basic geometries in AutoCAD. a) Line: This command is used to create simple Line segments. b) Polyline: This command is used to create polylines. With the help of Polylines, you can create continuous lines and Arcs. c) Circle: With this command you can create a Circle in AutoCAD. For Circle, there are different subtypes available. With these subtypes, you can create Circle by providing specific inputs. d) Rectangle: This command will make a rectangle in AutoCAD. e) Polygon: This command can be used to make a polygon with a minimum of 3 sides and
