Co'puter+aided design is essentially based on a #ersatile and powerful tec$ni,ue called
co'puter grap$ics- w$ic$ basically 'eans t$e criterion and 'anipulation of pictures on a
display de#ice wit$ t$e aid of a co'puter. Co'puter grap$ics originated at t$e Massac$usettsinstitute of tec$nology MI!/ in 0123w$en t$e first co'puter+dri#en display- lin)ed to a 4$irlwind
0 co'puter- and was used to generate so'e pictures. !$e first i'portant step forward in co'puter
grap$ics ca'e in 0156 w$en a syste' called %7E!C8*AD was de'onstrated at t$e Lincoln
Laboratory of MI!. !$is syste' consists of a cat$ode ray tube C"!/ dri#en by !9: co'puter. !$e
C"! $ad a )eyboard and a lig$t pen. *ictures could be drawn on t$e screen and t$en 'anipulated
interacti#ely by t$e user #ia t$e lig$t pen.
!$is de'onstration clearly s$owed t$at t$e C"! could potentially be used as a designer;selectronic drawing board wit$ co''on grap$ic operations suc$ as scaling- translation- rotation-
ani'ation and si'ulation auto'atically perfor'ed at t$e ustified t$e $ig$ capital costs.
Anot$er crucial factor pre#enting co'puter grap$ics fro' being generally applied to engineering
industries was t$at t$ere was a loc) of appropriate grap$ics and application software to run on t$ese
syste's. 8owe#er- a co'puter+based design syste' was clearly e'erging. %ince t$ese pioneering

larger in 'e'ory- c$eaper in cost and s'aller in si?e- $a#e beco'e widely a#ailable.
%op$isticated software tec$ni,ues and pac)ages $a#e also been gradually de#eloped. Conse,uently-
t$e application of CAD in industry $as been growing rapidly. Initially CAD syste's pri'arily
were auto'ated rig$ting stations in w$ic$ co'puter controlled plotters produced engineering
drawings. !$e syste' were later lin)ed to grap$ic display ter'inals w$ere geo'etric 'odel
describing part di'ensions were created- and t$e resulting database in t$e co'puter was t$en used to produce drawings. Nowadays- CAD syste's can do 'uc$ 'ore t$an 'ere rig$ting. %o'e syste's
$a#e analytical capabilities t$at allow parts to be e#aluated wit$ tec$ni,ues suc$ as t$e finite ele'ent
'et$od. !$ere are also )ine'atics analysis progra's t$at enable t$e 'otion of 'ec$anis' to be
studied. In addition- CAD syste' includes testing tec$ni,ues to perfor' 'odel analysis on
structures- and to e#aluate t$eir response to pinpoint any possible def ects.

!$e co'puter syste's used for CAD are of t$ree types & 'ainfra'e- 'ini and 'icro. !$e 'ainfra'e
syste' consists of a large capacity co'puter )ept in a re'ote air+conditioned roo'. %trict en#iron'ental
controls are needed for t$is syste'. !$e wor)stations are located at so'e distance fro' t$is central
syste'. !$e 'ainfra'e syste' executes a nu'ber of functions- CAD being one of t$e'. !$is syste'
is 'ore powerful t$an 'ini or 'icro syste's- wit$ fast co'puting speeds. Due to large 'e'ory
capacity it can process t$e 'ost difficult progra's. Co'pared wit$ t$e 'ainfra'e syste'- t$e
'icroco'puter is s'all and inexpensi#e. It- $owe#er- operates at a slig$tly lower speed and is not
able to process so'e of t$e difficult progra's- w$ic$ can be run on t$e 'ainfra'e syste'.
Minico'puters are usually $oused in an air+conditioned roo'. !$e 'icroco'puter is t$e s'allest type of
CAD syste'. It does not re,uire strict en#iron'ental controls. A grap$ic display station and )eyboard
is nor'ally co'bined in to a 'icro unit. !$ese units are called des)top co'puters. A 'icroco'puter
syste' is called a dedicated syste'- because it operates for t$e sole purpose of one user at a ti'e. !$is
syste' is c$eap and easily a#ailable- but $as li'ited capacity and speed.
!$e wor)station is a #isible part of t$e CAD syste'- w$ic$ pro#ides interaction between t$e operator
and t$e syste'. !$ere are two ele'ents of a basic wor)station & a C"! display and an alp$anu'eric
