ANSI and Solid Works a way towards virtual reality



If describing by can really represent something then just modeling the whole of it can make it alive.
Here we are just talking about the drafting and modeling part of any subject. Now to begin with we all might be aware of the computer aided designing process where we use a variety of techniques to make a computer generated model of almost any object presented to a user. In a basic cad software which is mostly used by core sector engineers. In CAD we generally get a 2D imaging of the object and the specimen is visible only on a 2 D domain and even though we get see the whole of it but the actual perception of the object is not achieved. This is the reason why it is suggested that if the object is to be viewed in 3D then it s 3D model is to be generated and for the same we need to have some better tools.

 Some of the other engineering drawing tools like the pro e and some others cannot fulfill the requirements of the designers. Now the question that arises is why there is a necessity of having the 3D model of a product. It is a general human tendency that our brain can process those objects which are visible as a whole and if not that we have to assume a lot many things by our own. In engineering terms a better assumption for calculation can be done if we are acquainted with the scaled model of the object. In solid work we try to make the solid model of any work piece so that it can replicate the whole of the object. The major facilities provided by the solid work are that we can scale down the subject. By scaling we mean just minimizing the object by a particular multiple. For example we can say that the model provided by solid work is 400 times smaller than the actual one and hence we can make the rest of the assumptions very easily. Now while we do so we need to follow certain rules and standards. The standards are maintained as the models created by the solid work are to be handled by technician’s world over. For this reason American National Standards Institute has developed a few standards to increase the products global acceptability and competitiveness. It’s the voice of many engineering organizations like the ASME, IEEE etc which are known world over.  ANSI Standard Drawing is closely related to the ISO drafting standards.
