Abstract
Applications of computer-aided design (CAD) techniques in the creation of teaching tools used in applied history of technology and mechanical engineering are described. We present the recovery and analysis of an old wheat mill, which used water as its energy source. The mill has been completely modelled using SolidWorksTM software, and a computer animation of the production process has been generated using 3DStudio MaxTM software. The generation of CAD models and learning from simulations is the subject of the course in technology history.
