Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering is one of the engineering disciplines. It uses, apart from engineering itself, also physics and materials science fundamentals for designing, analyzing, manufacturing and maintaining the mechanical systems. Being one of the oldest as well as broadest of the engineering disciplines, the mechanical engineering field requires a clear understanding of all the core engineering-related areas, such as dynamics, mechanics, thermodynamics, structural analysis, electricity, and materials science.

Most of the mechanical engineers use different tools for completing their tasks, such as a computer-aided design, product life cycle management (for designing and analyzing manufacturing plants), industrial equipment and machinery, transport systems, heating and cooling systems, aircraft, robotics, watercraft, medical devices, etc. They may also work in the field of biomedical engineering and being involved in the branch of engineering that involves the production, the operation and the design of machinery, mechanical engineers create, develop, test and build different thermal and mechanical devices, including engines, machines, and tools.

Being involved in the fast-changing industry, mechanical engineers use computers for creating and analyzing the designs, running simulations and testing the machinery. That is why there are many mechanical engineers among all the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM users.

Having both the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and drawing software as well as the Mechanical Engineering solution full of the pre-made examples of the mechanical drawings and stencil libraries full of the mechanical engineering-related symbols it becomes simpler to create the needed mechanical engineering drawings or assembly, parts, hydraulic and pneumatic systems’ drawings.

The Mechanical Engineering solution can be useful for many mechanical engineers as well as other engineers and designers.


There are 8 libraries containing 602 mechanical drawing symbols in the Mechanical Engineering solution.

Examples

There are a few samples that you see on this page which were created in the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM application by using the Mechanical Engineering solution. Some of the solution's capabilities as well as the professional results which you can achieve are all demonstrated here on this page.

All source documents are vector graphic documents which are always available for modifying, reviewing and/or converting to many different formats, such as MS PowerPoint, PDF file, MS Visio, and many other graphic ones from the ConceptDraw Solution Park or ConceptDraw STORE. The Mechanical Engineering solution is available to all ConceptDraw DIAGRAM users to get installed and used while working in the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and drawing software.

Example 1: Mechanical Engineering — Hydraulic Circuit

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the Hydraulic Pumps and Motors, Fluid Power Valves and Welding Libraries from the Mechanical Engineering Solution. An experienced user spent 25 minutes creating this sample.

This sample shows a mechanical engineering diagram of a hydraulic circuit. For the first time creating mechanical engineering diagrams has been turned into quick and painless process, thanks to the mechanical drawing software of ConceptDraw DIAGRAM.
