What software do Mechanical Engineers use and need to know? As a mechanical engineering student, you have to take a wide spectrum of classes, where you will need to use different software to complete projects and tasks. Should you EVEN invest your valuable time learning these software in the first place OR should you do something more beneficial for landing job offers and making you more competitive? In this video, I explain the 3 key categories of software and provide a list of software that every mechanical engineering student should learn to stand out in job interviews and succeed as a mechanical engineer in the real world.

As a machinist PLEASE, PLEASE for the love of god, talk to the people who are ACTALLY going to make your parts. I cannot stress this enough. CAD gives you the ability to design things that are just not feasible to make in a reasonable timeframe/cost. I can't tell you how often I've had to talk to an engineer about a feature/design because they didn't get input from a machinist during the design phase. You'd be surprised at a little input can go a long way. At my current shop we helped out biggest customer save time and money on a part. We cut weeks out of the processing time, while making the part easier to manufacture and eliminating potential failure points. In the end we cut the cost of the part by about 20%.

@donharrold1375 10 ай бұрын

I use MatLab and I’m not an academic or student. The built in powerful functions and ease of use make it a no brainer for me. I use it in a fairly basic way to solve matrices and arrays and simple differential equations that are too tricky for a spreadsheet. I’m no app designer. I’ve looked at Python but it seems less focused towards engineering. If cost is an issue, use Octave which is mostly equivalent to Matlab. Simulink really stands out on its own for control system modelling.

@arods 10 ай бұрын

@@donharrold1375 You have already said it, you use it in 'fairly basic way'. That is OK. Good enough if it helps you to do the job. Nevertheless, if you want to develop technology and real applications for engineering, there are better options for sure. Also, I kindly disagree with you, because both Python and C++ really are focused for engineering (see, e.g., fluid mechanics modules in python or CFD software based on C++). These two programming languages can take you to multiple paths in your engineering career. That is something that you can't do with Matlab, and not to mention that all AI is widely based on them. Regards!

@@arods I agree with a lot of what you’re saying. I’m not ever going to develop professional applications. A typical thing I might do would be modelling a system of vessels and depressurising them to a vent to generate pressure-time histories or to understand the unsteady gas flow. Typically I model these types of situations using finite difference methods. These models may involve rigorous or simplified thermodynamics. The beauty of Matlab is that you can investigate different thermodynamic assumptions, paths and compositional sensitivities very easily and efficiently. I like the built in functions - they are absolutely rock solid, predictable and robust. It seems to me much better to use an inbuilt solver to solve the roots of a cubic than spend time farting about writing code to apply Newton’s method. Self built solvers work efficiently most of the time but fall over periodically? With Python it appears that I’d spend a lot more time writing that sort of code because of the absence of ready made solutions?

@arods 10 ай бұрын

@@donharrold1375 As I said before, if Matlab works for you, providing robust solutions, then go ahead. That's fine. However, there are many open-source solutions out there, free for you, available in both Python and C++, or any other open programming language, and they coexist very well even with proprietary software (for example, Abaqus and Python). It's okay if Matlab works for you, but it's not for modern development or advanced analysis (if advanced means developing novel solutions). On the other hand, I don't understand why to defend so much a software/language that doesn't support OOP, and doesn't allow collaborative and efficient development... what I said earlier are just recommendations... you don't necessarily have to follow them, of course. Every problem can be solved in different ways...

One quirk about CAD is that most functions are transferrable from software to software. I use Onshape right now, but have used Inventor and Fusion 360 in the past as part of my education, and a significant chunk of functions are identical or near identical. Note: I am still in college.

@nathan1sixteen Жыл бұрын

For those, yes, they are quite similar (Inventor and Fusion 360 are both made by Autodesk and OnShape was started by a bunch of former Autodesk employees). There are typically a few major differences in CAD packages, though, and those little things will trip you up. I used CATIA for year in college and with work, and now I use PTC Creo, and simple things like reference features in drawings are handled differently in the 2 programs and can cause MAJOR issues if not handled early on

A very useful alternative to the CAE analysis software you mentioned is Altair’s ‘SimSolid’. It eliminates the need to simplify the geometry changes required by most traditional FEA software as pointed out in step 1 of your video and also doesn’t use ‘meshing’ so eliminates that part of the preprocessing activity in step 2. It lets you analyse the CAD model as you designed it. It is incredibly good for getting fast and reliable results

I would argue that the most important requirement is to be versatile and willing and able to learn new software whenever needed. Don't fall in love with your tools. Nowadays there are so many different software solutions out there to solve the same tasks and different companies often use different software and you have to be willing to readily adapt to new software. It's good to develop expertise in one specific tool and to try to master it, but know that you might have to learn something new sooner or later, whether it's CAD/CAM, programming languages or wherever.

You cannot compare CAD software just by market share. Siemens products are used mostly in heavy machinery, engineering and manufacturing. Through years I saw large companies wasting time when trying to use Catia for heavy machinery where Solid Edge or NX license did much better and effective job. Key is to know which program to use where and what you did describe is a point of view by product design engineer. My main skills are in NX, NX Cam Robotics and Solid Edge but sometimes I still use Inventor and SolidWorks as each of these have pros and cons. Also it depends on what projects you are on and what other team is using.

Instead of C++, it is better to learn C when it comes to engineering. Not because it is easier, but because in the world of microcontrollers and generally when you need to program something that includes some sensors, microcontrollers, microprocessors, etc. You're going to use at most C. But it all depends on the application. Still, C++ is a great and very powerful language, that's for sure and it has many applications but in this case, it is better to know C

Im only 22 but I've had so much experience on inventor that I can easily whip together parts, assemblies, and drawings (better than some of the older people at my company) in one or two days with minimal revisions. I perosnally love inventor and find it so much faster and easier to use than the other CAD softwares Ive used (but youll get faster with any software you spend years using). The only thing I dont like about inventor is that it is NOT priced for a home user / maker or for super small companies / startups, hence fusion 360 being AutoCAD's stripped down version of inventor for more home / maker use but man I miss a lot of features from inventor with it, the workflow on fusion 360 is just so much more limited / slower when coming from inventor.

SolidWorks is very limited, heavy and slow versus Inventor, which is also cheaper, it has better libraries, design wizards, applications, sketching and modeling are faster and with more features. Inventor Nastran and Autodesk CFD are a lot better than SolidWorks FEA applications. On other hand, AutoCAD is still needed for large assemblies with faster modeling, as AutoCAD Plant 3D, or AutoCAD Advanced Steel, or Civil 3D... In addition to all of this, the combability and parallel interaction of different Autodesk Files, allows to Inventor, Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD and other software to interact in a better way. That I never be able to do better on SolidWorks, where usually crashes with those big files.

@Goodgu3963 6 ай бұрын

Perhaps solidworks has really declined over the last few years since I used it but my experience with Fusion has always been that it's basically a hobbyist toy compared to real cad tools like Solidworks, Inventor, Catia etc. Any time that I have attempted anything remotely complex to calculate Fusion will crash (Complex splines, large chamfers, and large poly geometry). The entire interface is backwards to everything else in the industry. I learned on Inventor and can pretty easily switch between solidworks, catia and creo. However learning Fusion was a nightmare because they decided to put everything in weird spots. And it's not that all of these other tools have a bad layout that needs to be improved, Fusion's layout is bad for doing serious work with complex parts. I always find myself having to constantly navigate through multiple menus to access the tools I want for anything other than the very specific workflow Fusion is setup for. And to be clear I don't want to dislike Fusion. Infact I tried really hard for about 6 months off and on to like it since it is so much cheaper if I want a personal commercial license. It's great for casual hobby work and simple parts, but it just isn't a real CAD tool for real engineers.

I've been working as an engineer for over 20 years and it pains me to see how poor some people are at using a tool that you will use *every* day. Excel will likely be the number one tool you use every day regardless of where you work. You not only need to be able to do calculations, but process data, make plots, write custom functions with VB (yes, it is useful and easy to learn). If you're truly good at Excel you can use it to do many of your routine or one-off tasks that don't have specialized software.

I am prefer inventor over solid works any time much faster & easy to use, recently switched to solid works for product specific need. It took half day what inventor can do in half our. We are migrating to inventor in near future.

When you say that all mechanical engineers should automatically be competent in excel do you just mean front end or is it implied that they are also competent in VBA and macros? Would that justify putting it on your resume?

1. Excel , Autocad. 2. Fusion, Rhino,...are not mechanical engineers grade software. Fusion is perfect for 1 person work with cnc router in garage workshop. 3. Right software depends on what kind work your company does. For general purpose Inventor (for same price you get about 5 programs added in pack) , Solid Works-want to be inventor, but not at same level at all, Siemens NX - to expensive, but works fine. Creo, Catia,..junk. When you add cost of combined licences AND implemented server base for team work, than you are left with Inventor only. 4. FEM (finite element method) depends again on your copanys work. You get basic FEM inside CAD, which covers about 99% of needs. Older you are, more you use excel for same job. 5. Excel again. It is your best friend. 6. program language : FORTRAN (for easy typing mathematical formulas) ,VISUAL BASIC (for MACROS in MS office) , STEP7 , C++ are must. Phyton is C# without VS. 7. CAM work: Fusion , HSM for solidworks or inventor, Workflow in these is perfect. 8. Excel for everything else.

Catia, Creo (former Pro Engineer) and NX belongs to high end (capable to use multicore processor) software. .SolidWorks (SW using only one core of processor ) , Inventor and Solid Edge belongs to lower grade .

A working familiarity with ladder logic programming goes a long way if you do any work with machinery. A second thought... just because you *can* do something in your CAD package doesn't mean you should. I've seen a million young engineers (or older ones who are just dabbling in SW) throw all kinds of features and garbage on a part just to show how clever they are, but these embellishments cost a lot of money and rarely do anything functional.

@@user-je1jb6wt3o I am not sure about the work visa or immigration to America. But in general, I would say that the better of an engineer you are, the more likely you are to work for any company you like. If I could do it all over again, I would definitely grow my software skills along with hardware. I graduated with a Mechanical Engineering degree from a standard large public university, nothing too special. In engineering, the school you graduated from stops mattering pretty early in your career, it's all about what you know and what you can do. I'm paid $100k+ and I got my job by getting really good at skills in demand and then just applying to a bunch of places. For hardware, I would put an emphasis on understanding GD&T, materials, and understanding mechanical systems.

Just for my interest, what area is represented by the survey? I know that Solidworks is most the popular professional CAD software in the US but In Europe I think that Inventor has a much bigger share than shown in the graph, based on what I see around my area.

@jcf_1760 Жыл бұрын

I found Inventor to be better than solidworks. Solidworks is just like Adobe's programs; it's so popular that they don't have to care about the quality of the program. I tried to use it, and I found it to be immensely difficult to use. just making a sketch required switching between multiple menus frequently. Inventor only needs 1 menu for each stage of the design. In Inventor, sketch stuff is in 1 menu, 3D stuff is in another, and analysis is in its own menu too. Also, SolidWorks looks ugly to me.

As a machinist please get more engineers to be hands on. We need more experienced people designing parts. Not people who use a general tolerance and then complain that the parts are wrong. Or on the other end. Using ±0.01mm tolerance for a part that is a 20mm bush. Which could be a +.5-0.0 tolerance. And make everyone's lives easier

anything with high single core performance as cads barely use more than one. appart from rendering and simulation. and lots and lots and lots RAM. like 32GB is sometimes scary little when you see the ram usage curve going straight up in task manager :D:D. ok for study purposes 16 or less is ok .
