CAD Operations and Concepts Quiz

Which of the following operations in CAD software would you use to create a 3D object from a 2D sketch by extruding it along a straight path?

• Revolve

• Sweep

• Extrude

• Loft

In SolidWorks, which feature is used to create a rounded edge at the intersection of two surfaces?

• Fillet

• Chamfer

• Shell

• Loft

What is the main advantage of parametric modeling in CAD?

• It allows freeform design

• It automatically adjusts the design when parameters are changed

• It eliminates the need for material specifications

• It creates only 2D models

Which of the following material properties is typically used to analyze the behavior of a part under load using Finite Element Analysis (FEA)?

• Hardness

• Young's Modulus

• Poisson's Ratio

• Density

Which operation in CAD is used to create a 3D object by rotating a 2D profile around an axis?

• Loft

• Sweep

• Revolve

• Extrude

In a mechanical system, which of the following is an example of a kinematic pair?

• A shaft and bearing

• A piston and cylinder

• A wheel and axle

What does the "sweep" operation in CAD do?

• Creates a 3D object by rotating a 2D profile around an axis

• Creates a 3D object by extending a 2D profile along a straight path

• Creates a 3D object by guiding a 2D profile along a path

• Creates a 3D object from two non-parallel profiles

Which of the following is NOT a typical CAD feature?
