The book has all the details required for the complete coverage of either undergraduate level or graduate level course on computer aided design for mechanical engineers, design engineers and civil and architectural engineers. Emphasis has been laid on explaining the concepts and techniques more from the practical and implementation standpoint so that the reader can begin hands-on and to enable the reader to write his own programs and design CAD systems for any mechanical element. Each chapter has a large number of solved and unsolved exercise problems.||About the Author: Srinivasa Prakash Regalla has more than 12 years of research experience, 10 years of teaching experience and around 25 papers in reputed international journals and conference proceedings.
