What drawing software is good to learn?
Thread Content
I am a student studying chemical engineering equipment, and in the future I plan to work in pressure vessel design. These days, computer-aided drawing is essential for this work, but I’m not sure which drawing software is the most useful. Could anyone with experience give me some advice? Thank you.
AutoCAD is essential
You can also learn *SolidWorks
For floor plans, CAD is sufficient; for 3D models, Pro/E is widely used. I guess 3D modeling isn’t needed for pressure vessels.
First, one needs to learn AutoCAD; it is quite practical and widely applicable. It is generally sufficient for work in chemical engineering technology, except for design tasks
First, master AuToCAD.
CAD is required; CAXA can be used as a alternative. Currently, in China, there are also developments aimed at using CAXA for the design of pressure vessels
Once you master CAD, there are many software applications that can be used in conjunction with it. Using CAD for design is generally no problem; however, for representing things more clearly that are difficult to depict using 2D graphics, it’s advisable to use 3D software such as PRO/E or UG
AutoCAD is essential
First, one must master Auto CAD; if there is extra time, then learn PRO/E or SolidWorks, which is usually sufficient.
For equipment analysis, PVELite.SW6 is a good software; there are several good options available.
