The specific area which the team thinks will be successful is computer aided modelling. Softwares and rograms can thus help explore design ideas, visualize concepts through photorealistic renderings, and simulate how a design will perform in the real world.

# data[].attributes.body
Using computer aided modelling for structure designing in the industry is highly feasible as the only requisites are computers and a know-how about CAD, both of which can can be obtained at minimal expenditure of money and effort. The hike in efficiency and ease of work will more than compensate for starting trouble.

Our team believes that computer aided design can be effectively applied to the three-dimensional modelling of the desired final outcome/product.

Application 1(homology modelling) is feasible as computer aided design consists of many software packages(for example ClastalW) which allow the user to create a 3-D design of nearly any object. This feature of computer aided design can be used to model the 3-D figure of the drug and target molecules in the process of drug design.

Solid Modelling

This process is used to create solid components of desired shape by joining and cutting different solid volumes. The final solid model is a virtual replica of an actual product but it can be seen and rotated like a real product. There are two main types:

· direct where the model can be edited by undoing or modifying the model directly on the 3D;

· parametric where the model is constructed using parameters (variable quantities such as measurements) and the model can be edited at anypoint in its history.

Surface Modelling

This process is used to create surfaces of desired shape by trimming, stitching and joining different surfaces to create a final shape model.

Assembly

This process is used to assemble the models created in solid or surface modelling to create a final assembly. This is used to see the actual fitment of all models and see the working of assembly.

Drafting Detailing

This process is used to create the 2D drawings of components or assemblies; usually directly from a 3D model, although 2D CAD can create 2D drawings directly.

Reverse Engineering

This process is used to convert the real components into 3D CAD Model. Different types of instruments such as laser scanner, white light scanner, CMM (coordinate measuring machine) etc. are used to measure or decode the shape of real model. The virtual model obtained can then be modified in a CAD program.

What is the aim of CADD?

The aim is to predict if a particular molecule will be able to bond to its target molecule. If it is possible, then the next objective is to measure the strength of this bond.

What factors affect this prediction?

The ability of the molecule to bind to the target molecule may be affected by molecular mechanics, ab initio quantum chemistry, density functional theory, and several other factors.

What are the stages of CADD?

1. Target(hit) identification

2. Hit-to-lead optimization of affinity and selectivity

3. Lead optimization

4. Clinical Trials

What software is used for the modelling?

There are many software programs applicable for CADD. Below is a limited list of some of the different programs and their applications:

Program(s) - - Application

PKUDDS -- Drug structure design

GaussaDal -- Storage of molecular properties

Rasmol, VMD, Molscript, and Raster 3D -- Visualization or optimization of molecules

ClastalW ClastalX -- Homology Modelling (3D modelling of target molecules)

PS13 -- Energy minimization tool for quantum mechanical calculations

PyMol -- Identify ligand binding pockets of proteins

AutoDock -- Docking (optimizing molecular interactions between ligand and target)

QSAR -- Computes molecular properties known as descriptors

How does CAD CAM technology help mechanical engineers?

Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is the use of a wide range of Product Lifecycle Management computer-based software tools that assist engineers, in the manufacture of product components. 3D models of components generated in CAD software are used to generate CNC code to drive numerical controlled machine tools. This involves the engineer in selecting what type of tool, machining process and paths that are to be used.

# data[].attributes.body
Pranita Garimella

Computers play a key role in drug design; they possess the ability to both model and design drugs in an efficient manner. Computer aided drug design(CADD) can be carried out using a diversified spectrum of software, some of which are specific to a particular component of the drug design. Using this software, computational techniques have been developed to identify, design, model and depict, and refine and enhance new drugs. This design can be carried out on even a molecular basis. The use of CADD is relevant to research and development regarding certain diseases (such as cancer), the carrying of a drug to the required area in the body, and the repository of bio-molecules. It becomes evident that using computer aided modelling is a crucial step in optimizing drug development.

How computers play a vital role in mechanical engineering

Well, computer is applicable in all fields, but as far as mechanical engineering is concerned computer can be use in designing, testing, simulating and automating many task in mechanical engineering. F or example take an example of Automobile industry, each and every part of a vehicle is first desinged on a computer using different software like AutoCad, then after designing the system is then simulates on different simulation softwares.

Mainly the applications of computers in this field are:

Automation

Software talks

Animation

Designing

This is just one example, but in reality computer has deeply penetrated in the field of mechanical engineering, from designing of a screw to the simulation of complex machines!

The role of computer science in every engineering discipline is growing steadily. The effective use of computer science is regarded as the key to increased productivity in industry. Based on a survey, three specific areas were identified that civil engineering students need to be exposed to. By all measures, CAD applications have become an indispensable and irreplaceable ingredient of all aspects of civil engineering practice.With CAD tools, civil engineers can be more responsive to their clients’ needs by exploring more alternatives, by using more comprehensive analytical models, and by reducing the time and cost of detailed calculations.
