Introduction¶
Standard parts are the most important mechanical engineering components. In principle, the design of mechanical engineering parts and projects with their design and dimensions is subject to the applicable technical rules.
ELITECAD offers designers clear access to a wide variety of standard parts. For the standard-compliant design of self-made components (in-house production), read the instructions in the chapter Mechanical objects .
This chapter describes the functions of ELITECAD for the selection of standard and catalogue parts that are purchased from suppliers.
