    Re: Softwares For Mechanical (Design)

    If you are looking for auto design software, do a quick search. There is a thread where I listed some. Hopefully a more local CE can help you with the magazine question.

    The softwares you have listed are fine. Add Ansys to the list.
    There is a magazine called Automotive Engineering published by SAE. You could become a member if your college has an SAE student wing and the magazine will be provided to you free of cost.

    Do they publish an Indian version of AE or is it the same version?

    For design i have used solidworks i find it easy to learn and user friendly and as a uni student we got sponsorship copies for a FSAE team. Automobile books that are good is milliken race car dynamics. Also as a sort of technical feature interesting point of view there is a magazine in the uk i think called race car engineering. subscribe to that or try buy some old copies of ebay or something very interesting and informing book for ideas

    first you should learn
    MATLAB, C programming, Catia or Pro-e, and some CAE software like Ansys, Hypermesh.
    Machin Design is a good magzine for you if you are going to learn above softwares.

    Are you a mech engineer?
    every body use it. try its free version...
    you can do complex calculations with it like
    4X4 or 6X6 matrix multiplication as you can not do it manually or even by a calculator also...

    Since you are a student, I would suggest to get aquainted with 2D AutoCAD and after that can easily complete Solid Works. Solid Works is easy to learn once you know AutoCAD.

    As for magazines please refer Automobile magazine.

    If you're planning on studying in the US, I'm pretty sure that Autodesk are giving away copies of AutoCAD 2010 so long as you can prove you're a student. (although I can't find the link that I clicked yesterday. 😔 )

    hi... auto-cad is mainly used for the two dimensional drawings and not really for 3D modelling. so i think, as i do, u should learn auto-cad 2d and after u got the idea of diff drwings then u can go for 3D softwewres..which are :
    1. Pro-e wildfire. *(for solid modelling)
    2. catia(for surface modelling)
    3. solid works
    4. cosmos works
    5. ANSYS
    6. Multi-body stimulation
    7. PPM concepts

    Welcome to CE. Please take out time to introduce yourself in the "Introductions" section. Secondly try not to use SMS text and please post in a proper format.
    Regarding your query, I am sorry to say that both these softwares cost money and are not free.

    Autocad is one of the most widely used softwares out there. Starting version 2010, lots of new capabilities have been added, including improved 3D capabilities. A trial version is avalable (for students/faculty only) at autodesk's website. You will have to register (with your school/college's name) and then you will receive a 13 month trial.

    Apart from Autocad, you should also learn a software that specifically caters to 3D CAD. I have done certificate courses in both, CATIA as well as SolidWorks. And I feel that SolidWorks is better, in terms of the variety of tools available, which makes your task easy as pie. Although I may be biased, as I am employed as instructor for SolidWorks 😁

    SolidWorks premium edition includes various design validation tools which are ectremely useful to the designer (COSMOS Express for FEA, etc)
