Manual of engineering drawing, Second edition

Manual of engineering drawing, Second edition

Colin H. Simmons, Dennis E. Maguire

 

Preference :
The general trend in Engineering Design had been that the designer who was responsible for the conception and design of a particular product generally specified other aspects of the manufacturing process.
Gradually however, developments from increased computing power in all aspects of production have resulted in progressive advances in manufacturing techniques, metrology, and quality assurance. The impact of these additional requirements on the Total Design Cycle resulted in the withdrawal of BS 308 in 2000. Its replacement BS 8888 is a far more comprehensive Standard. It is important to stress that British and ISO drawing standards are not produced for any particular draughting method.

No matter how a drawing is produced, either on an inexpensive drawing board or the latest CAD equipment, the drawing must conform to the same standards and be incapable of misinterpretation.

The text which follows covers the basic aspects of engineering drawing practice required by college and university students, and also professional drawing office personnel. Applications show how regularly used standards should be applied and interpreted. Geometrical constructions are a necessary part of engineering design and analysis and examples of twoand three-dimensional geometry are provided.

Practice is invaluable, not only as a means of understanding principles, but in developing the ability to visualize shape and form in three dimensions with a high degree of fluency. It is sometimes forgotten that not only does a draughtsman produce original drawings but is also required to read and absorb the content of drawings he receives without ambiguity.

The section on engineering diagrams is included to stimulate and broaden technological interest, further study, and be of value to students engaged on project work. Readers are invited to redraw a selection of the examples given for experience, also to appreciate the necessity for the insertion and meaning of every line.

Extra examples with solutions are available in Engineering Drawing From First Principles using AutoCAD, also published by Butterworth-Heinemann. It is a pleasure to find an increasing number of young ladies joining the staff in drawing offices where they can make an effective and balanced contribution to design decisions.
Please accept our apologies for continuing to use the term ‘draughtsmen’, which is the generally understood collective noun for drawing office personnel, but implies equality in status. In conclusion, may we wish all readers every success in their studies and careers. We hope they will obtain much satisfaction from employment in the absorbing activities related to creative design and considerable pleasure from the construction and presentation of accurately defined engineering drawings.

Tekla Structures for reinforced concrete Tutorial

Tekla Structures for reinforced concrete Tutorial

 

Tekla BIM software is revolutionising the concrete detailing process, enabling users to produce fully reinforced 3D models with construction level of detail and all associated documentation. By modelling all details in the 3D model, all drawings and schedules are fully coordinated with this single source of truth and updated as changes are made. In this video, Paul Walker of Tekla UK demonstrates the benefits of Tekla for rebar detailing. Mirroring a typical workflow, he uses an IFC model from Autodesk Revit to establish the concrete geometry and converts the IFC objects to native Tekla elements. Paul then demonstrates how to detail the converted objects and produce the associated drawings and rebar schedules.

Up and Running with Civil 3D

Up and Running with Civil 3D

 

Great engineering projects begin with Civil 3D. Learn to get up and running with this powerful CAD program in these tutorials, with author Jon Michael Roberts. Discover how important it is to set up Civil 3D properly to streamline drafting tasks, plot styles, and establish design criteria for your particular organization. Jon then shows designers the differences they can expect to see between AutoCAD and Civil 3D, and the different design options Civil 3D offers. The final three chapters are dedicated to grading, laying a driveway, and creating a pipe network to an example single-family home.

Structural Toolkit 3.42

Structural Toolkit 3.42

 

Structural Toolkit is a Structural Engineering software package specifically developed to assist the
Professional Structural Engineer.
Comprising a suite of structural engineering modules that use Microsoft® Excel combined with the power of
Visual Basic, Structural Toolkit delivers fast and accurate design assistance.

Structural Toolkit covers a diverse range of materials and methods including:
Analysis
Concrete
Composite
Footings
Loadings
Masonry
Retaining walls
Steel
Timber

Modules comply with current Australian Standards, and refer to a range of standard engineering references
and technical papers. Modules receive regular updates incorporating improvements, corrections and updates
as Standards change.

Only Australian Standards but because my stepson is now student in Melbourne (IT not Civil) i dedicated some time to free this program.
You can see it is registerd to Australian People and i hope after checking it you will buy it.

Copy the adapted files respectively in the proper folders and replace the existing.

—-
This is a very useful tool to Australian Standards. This also has simple structural modelling available.

Just a caution if you use this, especially the reinforced concrete design. AS3600 uses a steel grade with Fy=500 MPa.

For Steel Design, the section they use is similar to British Standard and the steel grade is nominally grade 300 steel (Fy=300 MPa).
