Parameterized parts database

Mechanica’s parts database contains a vast collection of parametric and object-dependent elements, including three-dimensional ones. When you change the parameters of a part, all associated parts in the drawing also change automatically, according to their database values. This powerful tool generates design variations, which improve the design quality.

Standards-based engineering drawings

With Mechanica, you quickly make drawings based on international standards using these tools:

• ISO-standard fonts, line types, and dimension styles
• Tolerance zones and deviations for dimensions and fits
• Form and plane position tolerances
• Surface texture symbols
• Gradient symbols
• Editor for writing and changing technical notes and specifications
• Hole tables
• Semi-automatic views, cuts, sections, and breaks
• Auto-sorting letter labels of drawing elements
• Fixed joint symbols
• Marking and branding
• Formats and stamps
• Special arrays
• Cross-referencing drawing denotations in technical requirements
• Generation of table reports, with automatic updating of tables linked to drawing objects

Designing bolted and riveted joints

Mechanica offers flexibility in handling bolt and rivet functions:

• Connect groups of parts with arbitrary thickness using bolts, screws, or studs
• Connect parts of arbitrary thickness with rivets displayed in regular and high accuracy, made of hollow and semi-hollow rivets
• Display simplified fasteners in joints
• Generate patterns of bolts and rivets in joints

BOM tools

Mechanica’s BOM tools create bills of material of parts linked to drawings. BOM tables can contain the following items:

• Itemized specification numbers
• Electrical specifications
• Automatic receipt of specifications
• Custom specifications
