One of the most important tools in engineering and construction is the ability to produce and manipulate 3D figures. Modelling with AutoCAD 2000, written by a leading authority in the field takes you step-by-step through the key techniques. Topics covered in this textbook include developments in wire-frame models, surface models and solid models, and introduces the concept of multiple viewports. In addition, Modelling with AutoCAD 2000 introduces the reader to rendering and shows how such techniques can be used to produce professional drawings of high quality. Simplifies the difficult topic of modelling and introduces renderingFrom the market-leading and respected Bob McFarlane Maximises the potential of Release 2000 and covers 3 different types of model: wire frame, surface and solid

Learn how to master 3D with the most powerful design tool available. Matthews explores creating 3D models and exporting them to a Web site for client viewing, which decreases project development time. A 16-page Color Studio educates readers by illustrating results of projects, such as joining wire-frame, surface, and solid models, which are complex to understand in black and white.

This textbook covers developments in wire-frame models, surface models and solid models and introduces the concept of multiple viewports. In addition, the title introduces the reader to renderings and shows how such techniques can be used to produce professional quality drawings. There are in addition, worked examples and tutorial excercises which are designed for the student working alone, or the professional designer working at home.

This book covers modeling approaches used to describe strain in silicon. The subband structure in stressed semiconductor films is explored in devices using analytical k.p and numerical pseudopotential methods. Includes a rigorous overview of transport modeling.
