Activity 5.6 Physical Property Analysis
Introduction
What do you need to know about a product before it is built? Would you need toknow its volume, surface area, or weight? Would the product weigh less if it weremade of aluminum or mild steel? What about copper, brass, or cast iron? How couldthis information impact the product design?How can you find the properties of a product before it is built? You can calculatethem mathematically, providing you have the material specifications, but it will taketime. In today’s busy, fast-paced world, engineers use solid modeling softwareprograms to speed up the calculating process. However, the user of the softwaremust understand what the software is doing in order to estimate the answers and tobe able to recognize a possible error.
Conclusion
1. What do you need to know in order to perform a physical property analysis?you need to click on part and hit iproperties and then you go to physical and see the physical properties and you're done
2. Why is it important to understand the mathematics used in physical property
analysis? Its important to understand mathematics bc if you dont then u wont know the density or weight
3. Why is it important to perform a physical property analysis prior to producing a
part? so youll know how accurate it is
4. The clear enclosure piece and the wheels of the Automoblox are manufactured
from polycarbonate. Do you think that the connector pieces are also manufactured from polycarbonate? Justify your answer yes bc if not manufactured then it wouldn't be correct
