INTRODUCTION
• PROJECT DESTRIPTION
• The strong competition in product design increases the standard in
producing a product in terms of functionality and quality, at the
same time, the complexity of the design geometry is increasing
and the product development time is decreasing. Contemporary
CAD modelling systems which are based on parametric associative
techniques to assist designers in the development of fully
parameterized and customized products in which new products
configurations can be realized by only altering values of some
driving parameters. Parametric CAD modelling techniques help
design companies to create more efficient virtual development of
engineering products. The objective in this project is to develop a

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
• The aim of this project is to employ the application of
parametric modeling to design the most efficient 4×4
drive shaft for an automobile with a detailed analysis of
different parameters that influence its functionality
Other objectives include;
• To create a parameterized drive shaft on Siemens NX
• To analyze the effect of friction on the rear axle and the
rear wheels
• To evaluate the process of designing a 4 by 4 crankshaft
to increase the efficiency of the car from invention to

LITERATURE REVIEW
COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN (CAD): technology of using
computers to precisely generate 2D and 3D models.
PARAMETRIC MODELING (PM): Parametric modeling is a sort of
drawing that utilizes parameters and conditions to drive geometry.
Parametric designing catches the plan purpose with geometric
connections so if the design engineer transforms one
measurement, the whole model updates to suit the new
parameter.
APPLICATION OF CAD AND PARAMETRIC MODELING
• Testing: Matlab and Ansys
• Design manufacturing; CAM, CAE, CNC
