Jul 28, 2015 at 0:09 comment added fibonatic How do you plan to learn with the help from AutoCAD? If you wish to use software in order to simulate things related to mechanical engineering you would at least need a program which can perform finite element analysis. This kind of analysis helps approximating complex problems, while simplified examples have analytical solutions, which one usually learns while going through the theory. FEA only gives results, while the theory can also give you insights in how those results can be obtained.
