Computer Aided Design

Assignment to be done:

Model (raster, vector, 2D, 3D, render, animate, simulate, ...) a possible final project,
compress your images and videos,
and post a description with your design files on your class page

They are many softwares and tools used in computer aided design and depending on the wishes of designer, they can make different effects around pictures, objects etc.These can be used in different ways such as 2D and 3D design, rendering,simulation,animation, apply vectors,raster, etc.
As they are may CAD sotwares,in my assignment, I used some of them and the following are the ones:

1.Photoshop

Photoshop is a photo editing and raster graphic design software which allows users to create, edit, and manipulate various graphics as well as digital art. It also allows to create and edit raster images with multiple layers and import the images in various file formats. Photoshop is developed by Adobe Systems for both Windows and MacOS.

Here I used a photoshop to edit two photos, one as a background which has been used to chenge the background of an other.
I took a typical athlete and chane his pist as shown in the following taken screenshoots pictures.

Fig: The figure shows an athlete and ready to run on the pitch.

Here i need to change the pitch whis actually the backgound and put him in an other background of a certain photo of anywhere in Kigali.
This athlete is going to be seleected and change his bacground

Fig: The figure shows a photo of athlete under editing.

Fig: New backgroung

Fig: The figure shows an athlete on new background.

Ater selecting him from athletic piste, he has been draged into a new background and other editing and adjustment in order to fit as shown in the above photo.

2.Inkscape

Inkscape is a free and open-source vector graphics editor used to create vector images, primarily in the Scalable Vector Graphics format.

2.Downloading and installing Inkscape

Among the vector editors, I chose to use inkscape editor as I found it to be flexible and easy use for me.
This serves to design any graphic.

Fig:Gamma values has been adjusted as well as edge, etc

Fig:The photo has been converted into black and white via bitmaps and mode,and then extracted in order to be printed

4.Solidworks

SolidWorks is a solid modeling computer-aided design and computer-aided engineering application published by Dassault Systèmes.
SOLIDWORKS is used to develop mechatronics systems from beginning to end. At the initial stage, the software is used for planning, visual ideation, modeling, feasibility assessment, prototyping, and project management. The software is then used for design and building of mechanical, electrical, and software elements

Working with soldworks

SolidWorks is mainly used for mechanical parts and assembly design, technology designing, and automotive and aerospace designing.
It helps to design both 2D and 3D models

5.FreeCAD

FreeCAD is a general-purpose parametric 3D computer-aided design modeler and a building information modeling software application with finite element method support.

Working with FreeCAD

Fig: Attempt of design of a certain tray

Actually I have been challenged in using of FreeCad, I attempted to design a moving tray but I failled to exdrude it so that I can get a 3D view. BUt after a deep self teaching and consulting my classmates, I came up with a solution on how to extrude the designed object which is actuall done via pad in left menu!!!
