Integrated
CAD Design in Agricultural Engineering
Course
Objectives:
To
equip students with fundamental knowledge of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools
and techniques for modeling, analysis, and drafting of agricultural machinery
and farm structures.
List of
Experiments
1.
CAD Interface, 2D Drafting and Dimensioning
a)Preparation
of 2D drawings of agricultural components (shaft, bracket, flange)
b)Dimensioning
and annotation as per BIS standards
2.
3D Modeling and Parametric Design
a)Modeling
of components such as plough share, seed tube, sprocket, and pulley
b)Parametric
modeling of cultivator tine with design modifications
3.
Assembly Modeling of Farm Machinery
a)Assembly
of seed drill unit (hopper, seed tube, frame, metering device)
b)Application
of constraints and interference checking
4.
Motion Simulation of Mechanisms
a)Simulation
of slider–crank mechanism
b)Analysis
of displacement, velocity, and motion characteristics
5.
Sheet Metal and Surface Modeling
a)
Modeling of grain storage bin/hopper with flat pattern development
b)
Surface modeling of tractor hood or curved guard
6.
Finite Element Analysis and Tolerance Study
a)
Static stress analysis of cultivator shank or plough beam
b)
Clearance, fit, and tolerance analysis in assemblies
Tasks:
1.
Design and model an agricultural machine component or system (e.g., seed drill
unit, cultivator, or hopper) using CAD software, including assembly and basic
FEA.
2.
Perform motion simulation of a selected mechanism (e.g., slider–crank or gear
system) and analyze its kinematic performance with interpretation of results.
3.
Prepare a report on a real-world agricultural machinery system focusing on
design, materials, manufacturing considerations, and scope for improvement
using modern tools.
