Question 1.
What is the primary goal of a Primary Design Equation?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how we evaluate performance in designs.
Question 2.
Name one role of Subsidiary Design Equations.
Show hintHide hint
Consider what else must be kept in mind besides the main goal.
3Question 3.
What is the primary focus of Primary Design Equations?
- Minimizing constraints
- Maximizing objectives
- Maximizing costs
Show hintHide hint
Remember the goal of optimization.
4Question 4.
True or False: Subsidiary Design Equations replace the need for limit equations.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider their roles in the design process.
Question 5.
Design a beam that has an SDE for both strength and cost but exists under a conflict of specifications. How would you approach solving this?
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the importance of reconciling conflicting needs.
Question 6.
Given a set of design constraints, how can you utilize CAD tools to optimize a design? What steps need to be taken?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how you would integrate design calculations with simulations.
