Introduction
Term CAD refers to the computer-aided design which is the utilization of computer
device in order to aid in the modification, analysis and creation of the design. Such kind
of software is very useful in the field of engineering and designing process and it has the
potential to enhance the overall performance and effectiveness of the designer. This
report objective is to gather information about the computer aided design and evaluate
the significance of the CAD software in the area of engineering and process design. CAD
software is used by many business industries in order to enhance the communication by
using documentation and it also produces the database for manufacturing. This report is
categorized into major four parts such as the role of CAD in engineering and design
process, how teams can work together to produce products, advantages and limitations
of the digital vault software and advantages of CAD software for industry.
Role of CAD software in engineering and the design process
The computer aided design is defined as computer software which is used to designs a
product or project and document the designs process. This kind of software has the
ability to facilitate the manufacturing process by sending information diagrams of a
project, processes and dimensions of products (Custelcean, et al., 2009). The CAD
software includes generating computer models which are defined through geometrical
parameters. CAD play a significant role in the sector of engineering and design process
where it enables engineers to see the object under a large variety of representations and
to test and perform these objects with the help of simulation process. Mainly, this type
of software is used in the business industries to design and document the project in the
field of engineering (Kapos, et al., 2009). It is analysed that the computer aided design
software can be used in the process design to facilitate designs within the project
development cycle. In the field of engineering, it helps engineers for designing and
developing more effective projects and reduce the cost of implementation.
There are major three steps involves in the field of process design for example design,
manufacturing engineering and design, and production of design all these are
documented by using computer aided design software. In this modern era, the CAD
software is one of the best tools which are utilized in the sector of the design process
