UNIT 5 ASSESSMENT: PARAMETRIC SOLID MODELING

What is a PROFILE in the context of sweeps in parametric solid modeling?

• A 3D curve used for creating complex shapes

• A 2D sketch that serves as a cross-section of the final 3D shape

• The software tool used to generate sweeps

• A type of parameter that controls the shape direction

What does the PATH represent in a sweep?

• The direction in which the profile is rotated

• The 3D shape that is generated after the sweep

• The 3D curve or line along which the profile is extruded or swept

• The software used to interpolate between profiles

Which directions can a sweep proceed in?

• Only in the X direction

• Only in the Y direction

• Only in the Z direction

• Various directions along the X, Y, Z, or custom directions

What is the purpose of LOFTS in parametric solid modeling?

• To create sharp edges between profiles

• To generate smooth transitions between 2 or more profiles

• To interpolate between different materials

• To adjust the color and texture of the model

What type of LOFT connects a profile with a straight path?

• Organic

• Guide Curve

• Linear

• Complex

What does the software do to create a loft between two profiles?

• It extrudes the profiles along a straight path

• It rotates the profiles around a central axis

• It interpolates the solid geometry between the two profiles

• It merges the profiles into a single layer

What does advanced parametric-solid modeling: freeform modeling allow designers to do?

• Create basic geometric shapes with strict dimension constraints

• Simplify the design process to basic forms only

• Create complex shapes and surfaces that are difficult to achieve with traditional parametric modeling techniques

• Limit the flexibility and creativity in design

What is the importance of freeform modeling in product design?

• It is only important for creating simple and functional designs

• It is crucial for creating ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing designs

• It has no significant impact on the design process

• It reduces the speed of design iteration and refinement

Which of the following is a benefit of freeform modeling?

• Slows down the iteration and refinement of designs

• Hinders collaboration between design and engineering teams

• Helps visualize and communicate design concepts more effectively

• Limits the use of solid and surface modeling techniques

What is the purpose of using the EDIT FORM tool in 3D modeling?

• To add color to the model

• To provide granular control over individual vertices, edges, and faces of the model

• To create animations for the model

• To reduce the file size of the model
