COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN (CAD)


Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computers (or workstations) to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design (based on Wikipedia’s definition). The purpose CAD software made is to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for manufacturing. Based on its use, CAD divided to two types use in designing electronic systems the name is electronic design automation (EDA) and in mechanical design it is known as mechanical design automation (MDA) or computer-aided drafting (CAD).

Computer-aided design (CAD) began to be formed by Dr. Paul J. Hanratty in 1950 and then developed by MIT in 1957 with the name “Pronto”. Along with the development, in 1982 Autodesk Company introduce AutoCAD. Innovating, Autodesk always developing AutoCAD and make it be more sophisticated. In 1993, Autodesk introduced a 3D CAD program for DOS-based computers. As personal computers became more widely available throughout the 1990’s, so did the use of CAD. In the 21st century, there are many 3D drawing and modeling programs were created, including GstarCAD. The original GstarCAD software and the sam modeling program combines design, preparation and building-model information (BIM) to make buildings more sustainable and efficient.
    There are steps for use CAD (use AutoCAD software)
    1. Decide what project you want to use AutoCAD for.
    2. Ensure that your computer meets the program’s system requirements.
    3. Install the AutoCAD program.
    4. Familiarize yourself with how to navigate through AutoCAD.
    5. Create new drawing.
    6. Locate the small gear icon at the bottom of the screen.
    7. Click the Home icon on the left side of the ribbon.
    8. Select the Line icon from the drop down menu.
    9. Check the text in the command/prompt toolbar.
    10. Move your mouse inside the drawing area.
    11. Click the left mouse button near the center of the drawing area.
    12. Look for the text “Specify next point or Undo” in the command/prompt area.
    13. Type “@4<0 and="" area="" command="" enter="" hit="" in="" li="" prompt="" the="" twice.="">
    14. 4-inc line is complete.
    15. Experiment with other drawing options.
    16. Build on what you’ve learned.
    17. Save your drawing.

Today, CAD systems exist for all the major platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX and Mac OS X); some packages support multiple platforms.

Di era globalisasi dan perkembangan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi, yang di mana tidak dapat dipisahkan dalam semua aspek kehidupan manusia, termasuk dalam bisnis yang di mana saat ini bisa dengan mudah untuk menjalankan bisnis skala global . Diskusi serta komunikasi bisa dilakukan dengan lebih mudah serta lebih murah dengan menggunakan e-mail maupun internet, juga sistem informasi dapat digunakan untuk memantau jaringan jaringan bisnis yang telah menyebar ke luar negeri, dan juga bisa memantau kinerja perusahaan dengan lebih mudah dengan mengolah informasi kemudian menghasilkan output yang bisa digunakan oleh manajemen dalam mengelola perusahaan serta bagi pihak pemegang saham untuk menilai kinerja perusahaan. Dahulu, sekitar tahun 1980-an sampai pada tahun 1990-an, perusahaan multinasional sedang gencar-gecarnya mengambangkan Sistem Informasi Global (SIG) mereka walaupun masih perlu untuk disempurnakan kembali, maka dari itu pada tahun 2000-an banyak perusahaan multinasion

Kontributor: Krisna Try Prasetyo What is LAN A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices that share a common communications line or wireless link to a server. Typically, a LAN encompasses computers and peripherals connected to a server within a distinct geographic area such as an office or a commercial establishment. Computers and other mobile devices use a LAN connection to share resources such as a printer or network storage. A local area network may serve as few as two or three users (for example, in a small-office network) or several hundred users in a larger office. LAN networking comprises cables, switches, routers and other components that let users connect to internal servers, websites and other LANs via wide area networks. Ethernet and Wi-Fi are the two primary ways to enable LAN connections. Ethernet is a specification that enables computers to communicate with each other. Wi-Fi uses radio waves to connect computers to the LAN. Other LAN technolo

Artikel ini akan menjelaskan tentang Global Culture, atau yang sering kita sebut dengan Budaya Global. Beberapa sosiolog memprediksi bahwa di dunia akan ada budaya global. Caranya dengan melalui fenomena difusi budaya, atau penyebaran lintas budaya. Lintas budaya ini akan selalu saling mempengaruhi melalui perjalanan dan perdagangan. Karena populasi saat ini semakin meningkat, tingkat difusi budaya pun meningkat secara dramatis. Kontributor: Arsita Rahma Juned Apa itu budaya global? Budaya Global itu sendiri terdiri dari dua kata, yaitu Budaya dan Global. Budaya berasal dari bahasa Sansekerta yaitu buddhayah, diartikan sebagai hal-hal yang bersangkutan dengan budi dan akal manusia.
