Computer-aided design (CAD) Books
SDC Publications Engineering Statics Labs with SOLIDWORKS Motion
Book SynopsisThis book is designed as a software-based lab book to complement a standard textbook in an engineering statics course, which is usually taught at the undergraduate level. This book can also be used as an auxiliary workbook in a CAE or Finite Element Analysis course for undergraduate students. Each book comes with a disc containing video demonstrations, a quick introduction to SOLIDWORKS, and all the part files used in the book. This textbook has been carefully developed with the understanding that CAE software has developed to a point that it can be used as a tool to aid students in learning engineering ideas, concepts and even formulas. These concepts are demonstrated in each section of this book. Using the graphics-based tools of SOLIDWORKS Motion can help reduce the dependency on mathematics to teach these concepts substantially. The contents of this book have been written to match the contents of most statics textbooks. There are 8 chapters in this book. Each chapter is designed as one weekÃââs workload, consisting of 2 to 3 sections. Each section is designed for a student to follow the exact steps in that section and learn a concept or topic of statics. Typically, each section takes 15-40 minutes to complete the exercises. Each copy of this book comes with a disc containing videos that demonstrate the steps used in each section of the book, a 123 page introduction to Part and Assembly Modeling with SOLIDWORKS in PDF format, and all the files readers may need if they have any trouble. The concise introduction to SOLIDWORKS PDF is designed for those students who have no experience with SOLIDWORKS and want to feel more comfortable working on the exercises in this book. All of the same content is available for download on the bookÃââs companion website.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Integrated Drawing Techniques: Designing
Book SynopsisSince the appearance of simplified 3D sketching programs like SketchUp, architects and interior designers have been called on to use both freehand and 3D CAD drawings, often at very earliest stages of design. Since we must often go back and forth between analytical plan views and 3D visual views, it’s important that this be a seamless process, requiring little disruptive action or break in the workflow. Integrated Drawing Techniques closes the gap between creativity and geometry, teaching beginner architects and interior designers how to design their residential interiors using freehand sketching and computer-aided design simultaneously. From concept planning to 3D rendering, this book is a comprehensive guide to designing residences by hand and computer.Trade ReviewAn excellent book that gives students clear and easy to follow instructions beyond just the basic skills. This gives the student plenty of scope for self-improvement and allows them to target key areas of their major projects irrespective of continuation * Caroline Mansfield, De Montfort University, UK *Table of ContentsPreface Part I: Freehand Drawing and Rendering: Tools, Materials, and Techniques Chapter 1: Freehand Drawing: Pencil and Pen Chapter 2: Color Drawing and Rendering: Working with Mixed Color Media Chapter 3: Perspective Part II: Digital Rendering Chapter 4: SketchUp Techniques Chapter 5: Photoshop Techniques Chapter 6: Mixed Media: Integrating Techniques Part III: Residential Design with Integrated Media Chapter 7: The Foyer: Eentering the Home and Connecting the Elements Chapter 8: The Great Room Chapter 9: The Kitchen Chapter 10: The Bathroom Chapter 11: The Bedroom and Study Chapter 12: Single-Family Homes Chapter 13: Multfamily Residential Design Part IV: Site and Landscape Context: Cmmunity, Residential, and Commerce Chapter 14: The Site and Landscape Chapter 15: Placing Buildings in the Environment

SDC Publications Programming and Engineering Computing with MATLAB
Book SynopsisThis book is designed for undergraduate students completely new to programming with MATLAB. Case studies and examples are used extensively throughout this book and are at the core of what makes this book so unique. The author believes that the best way to learn MATLAB is to study programs written by experienced programmers and that the quality of these example programs determines the quality of the book. The examples in this book are carefully designed to teach you MATLAB programming as well as to inspire within you your own problem solving potential. Most of the examples used in this book are designed to solve a whole class of problems, rather than a single, specific problem.A learn by doing teaching approach is used all through the book. You are guided to tackle a problem using MATLAB commands first and then the commands are explained line by line. This process of learning through hands on experience is one of the most efficient and pain-free ways of learning MATLAB.
