2 Mechanical Analysisi - FME123 - Mecanical - Engineering

The document discusses different types of axonometric perspective including isometric, dimetric, and trimetric. Isometric perspective has three axes at 120 degrees. Dimetric perspective has two equal angles among the three axes. Trimetric perspective has three different angles. Examples are provided and exercises are given to draw various axonometric perspectives of objects.

3 Axonometric perspective

Competences:
At the end of this sequence, each student should be able to :

 Name the types of axonometric perspective;


 Execute the axonometric perspective of a simple technical object.

3.1 Introduction
Axonometric perspective is an orthogonal projection of the object on an oblique plane with
respect to the main faces of the object. The projection of these faces is therefore not in real size.

Figure 3-1: Principle of axonometric perspective

Note:

 If are equal, the perspective is said to be isometric;


 If two of these angles are equal, the perspective is said to be dimetric;
 If the angles are different from each other, then perspective is said to be
trimetrical.

3.2 Isometric perspective


Of the three, they are the easiest to implement. As a result, they are used quite often. The
applications are many and varied.

Characteristics:

The isometric axes are at 120° to each other. The starting orientation should be chosen as best as
possible to describe the object in its natural position. For some long objects, one of the axes can
be chosen horizontal.

10
To get the dimensions of an isometric perspective, the dimensions must be multiplied by the k-
factor and then multiplied by the scale.

It is possible to construct an ellipse when its major and minor axes are known. Their properties
are described in the next 5 steps.

11
3.3 Dimetric perspectives
They are interesting when you want to highlight one side of the object but they require more
work than the previous ones.

Principle:
Dimetric axes have two equal angles among the three that position them: generally two large
angles plus one small one. Many combinations are possible. For the most common ones, there
are standard canvas and ellipse sketch. Usually one of the axes is placed vertically.

3.4 Trimetric perspectives


Assignment: Make a brief summary of the layout of the pieces in trimetric perspective.

Exercice 1 :
Complete left view and the top view, and draw the cavalier perspective according to the front
view with scale 2:1, k = 0,5 and ∝ = 45°

Exercice 2 :
Complete right view and the top view, and draw the cavalier perspective according to the front
view with scale 2:1, k = 0,5 and ∝ = 45°.

Exercise 3: Execute the isometric perspective of the previous drawings
