CAD SUPPORT
At Aurasound we commonly use:
Pro E
Solidworks
Auto CAD
Computer Aided Design CAD
This system uses something called TTUA, which is the use of a wide range of tools that assist our engineers in their design activities. It is the main geometry-authoring tool within the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) process and involves both software and sometimes special-purpose hardware. Our Current packages range from 2D vector-based drafting systems to Pro E 3D parametric surface and solid design modelers. CAD is sometimes translated as "computer-assisted drafting", "computer-aided drafting", or a similar phrase. Related acronyms are CADD, which stands for "computer-aided design and drafting"; CAID, for Computer-aided Industrial Design; and CAAD, for "computer-aided architectural design". All these terms are essentially synonymous, but there are some subtle differences in meaning.
Basically CAD is not just a drafting tool; it’s a very accurate and robust design tool too. Due to the complexity of computations in our design methodology, the power of our computers is leveraged to compute solutions to complex problems like stress analysis, shear analysis, thermal analysis and fluid flow analysis. Our CAD offers very simple, easy to use, efficient methods to study and evaluate the design process and arrive at a near-perfect design.
CAD is used to design, develop and optimize products, which can be goods used by end-consumers or intermediate goods used in other products. CAD is also extensively applied to the design of tools and machinery used in the manufacture of our components that go into your products.
CAD is mainly used for detailed engineering of 3D models and/or 2D drawings of physical components, but it is also used throughout the engineering process from conceptual design and layout of products, through strength and dynamic analysis of assemblies to definition of manufacturing methods of components.
CAD has become an especially important technology, within the scope of Computer Aided technologies, with benefits such as lower product development costs and a greatly shortened design cycle. CAD enables designers to lay-out and develop work on screen, print it out and save it for future editing, saving time on their drawings.
