Mechanical engineering with Adam

Take a mechanical design task from request to review.

Ask Adam to inspect a part, change a driving dimension, or prepare a drawing. Work in your connected CAD system and check the result against the dimensions, interfaces, and engineering requirements that matter.

How to get started
  • Native CAD workflows
  • Explicit design constraints
  • Engineering review

01 / Start here

Set up a useful first task.

  1. 01

    Choose your CAD system

    Use the platform guide for your application. Desktop integrations require the appropriate installed CAD system, license, and paired connector; Onshape uses its own connection flow.

  2. 02

    State what must change and stay fixed

    Provide units, target dimensions, interfaces, and any downstream dependencies. Ask for an inspection and proposed edit before changing a complex model.

  3. 03

    Accept the native result

    Rebuild, inspect dimensions and references, then save and reopen the document. Drawing tolerances and release decisions still require engineering review.

02 / In practice

Parametric edits

Change a specific dimension or feature while preserving the requirements you identify. Review the model's feature history and update state after the edit.

03 / In practice

Drawing preparation

Prepare views, dimensions, and annotations for review. Supply your drawing template, units, projection convention, and the functional dimensions that must be communicated.

Explore SOLIDWORKS drawing automation

04 / In practice

Simulation is a separate evaluation

A CAD edit and a validated simulation have different acceptance requirements. Confirm solver support, assumptions, convergence, and reference results before relying on a simulation workflow.

Questions, answered

Before you start.

Which CAD applications can I use?

Start with the guides for SOLIDWORKS, Onshape, Fusion, Siemens NX, CATIA V5, or Inventor. Setup and availability differ by platform and release.

Does a completed task mean the design is ready to manufacture?

No. Inspect the native model and drawing against your requirements. Manufacturing, safety, and release approval remain engineering decisions.
