- Material changes are common in the development phase of engineered parts. Consider a component part modeled first using 6061-T6 Aluminum, and then with 1020 Steel. No dimensional changes are made. Do each of the following properties of a solid change with changing material? How?
a. Volume
b. Mass
c. Density
d. Centroid
e. Moment of inertia f. Radius of gyration
- Vector data and raster data are both used in graphics programs. Which type of data format is better suited for CAD systems that have mass properties capability?
