Prepare a software using C++/VB/JAVA for design of machine elements

CAD packages support interfacing with programming languages like JAVA, VB, VC etc. Select CAD
software (CREO, Solid EDGE, CATIA) and identify function and method of interfacing your program
with software. Demonstrate modification in minimum two feature/parameter of solid model by
interfacing.
Prepare a computer program for optimization
Prepare procedure manual (Tutorial) to do surface modelling in Creo parametric software. Show step by
step procedure in the manual.

Prepare procedure manual (Tutorial) to do surface modelling in CATIA software. Show step by step
procedure in the manual.

Prepare procedure manual (Tutorial) to do assembly modelling in CATIA software. Take components
and assembly done using CREO in the laboratory. Show step by step procedure in the manual.

Prepare procedure manual (tutorial) to do surface modelling in CATIA software. Students can take live
examples like Tea cup, Table Spoon, cricket cap, water glass, handle of hair dryer, computer mouse,
housing of a pump, etc.
Prepare a computer program to solve a problem of Fixed-Fixed beam using Point collocation method and
Exact solution, Plot the result in a single graph and discuss about accuracy of methods on the basis of
error with exact solution.
Prepare a computer program to solve a problem of Fixed-Fixed beam using weighted-residual method
and Exact solution, Plot the result in a single graph and discuss about accuracy of methods on the basis
of error with exact solution.
Prepare a computer program to solve a problem of Fixed-Fixed beam using weak form of weighted
residual method and Exact solution, Plot the result in a single graph and discuss about accuracy of
methods on the basis of error with exact solution.
Prepare a computer program to solve for stress and displacement for a bar element. Ask user to enter
number of elements, cross sectional area and material of elements and load. Calculate displacement and
stresses at nodes.
Prepare an interactive program to apply finite element method to analyse different component. Also
validate the result with the analysis software.
Take any real components available in workshop (Bench wise, Lathe bed, Spindle etc). Identify forces
acting on the component and provide free body diagrams. Take approximation where necessary. Model
the component and analyse it using CAD/CAE software.
Optimize various components using CREO parametric software.
Take different types of beam (Cantilever, simply supported, fixed-fixed) and perform optimisation
procedure using excel solver.
Prepare procedure manual (Tutorial) to perform size optimization using Hyperworks.
Prepare procedure manual (tutorial) to perform optimization using ANSYS workbench.
Prepare procedure manual (tutorial) to perform optimization using Topology optimization Hyperwoeks
Prepare procedure manual (tutorial) to perform optimization using Optimization using Solid thinking
(Hyperworks module)
