 Discuss using an example how is CADhelpful in the design process.

Answer must be in detail 

Expert Solution
Step 1
  1. Computer-aided design, commonly known as CAD, is design that is created with the help of computers, and it can also be modified, analyzed and optimized with it.

    Overview of Cad (Computer-Aided Design)

    CAD is an important tool to increase the productivity of a designer and it also helpful in leveling the quality of design without compromising efficiency. It provides a database for the further manufacturing or construction process taking place.

    CAD stands for computer-aided design and drafting. This software is used to provide a preliminary design of a building by a draftsman with the help of information provided by architects before it is presented to a structural engineer for the actual design of various components of a building. Draftsmen can prepare sections, plans and other details required in a structural drawing. It is also equally helpful in mechanical engineering for providing various sections and details of a equipment, thus providing in depth information of equipment. CADD software can easily draw curves and complex figures in both 2D and 3D. Apart from its application in civil and mechanical engineering, CADD is an important software that finds its use in aerospace engineering, the automotive industry, shipbuilding and more.
