Assembly methods in Solidworks Design

Assembly is the process of combining or assembling several parts in a certain relationship. An assembly is a combination of two or more parts, also called components, in one SOLIDWORKS document. We can position and orient components using pairs that form connections between components. Very easy process. There are 2 assembly methods in Solidworks: 1. Part coordinate system method. 2. Part Method Part coordinate system method Click the new icon and part icon to create a new image. 2Click and create a part image. Then save and name the file part1. Create a new part and then create a new plane that is 30 mm apart. Then save and name the file part 2. After the above process is complete, we enter the stage for assembling part 1 and part 2. Here are the steps: Click the New icon and click the assembly icon. In the menu bar select windows, tile horizontally. So a horizontal tile window will appear Click the 2D Sketch icon so that origin will be active in windows assembly. Click on the text pa...

Sketching with Parametrics in the solidworks

Sketching with Parametrics in the solidworks
Sketching solidworks in 2D format is done by clicking Sketch in the Command Manager or by activating the Sketch feature. Sketch is the most common type of feature. Sketching in parametric software is different from drawing lines in 2D CAD. SolidWorks sketches are parametric. that is, we can make a sketch which changes accordingly the rules. Apart from 2D sketches, SolidWorks can also create 3D sketches. But 2D sketching is much more widely used. We make a 2D sketch on the selected plane or planar surface and then use it to create shapes for features like Extrude, Revolve, and etc. Relationships in 2D sketches are often made between sketched entities and other edges of the model which may or may not be in the sketch area. In situations where other entities are not in the sketch plane, the entity outside the plane is projected onto the sketch plane in the direction normal to plane sketch. This is not the case for 3D sketching. You can use 3D sketching for the Hole Wizard, routing, welding and complex shapes creation, among other applications. Work with 2D sketch, This Sketch The relationship persists through changes and allows us to move the sketch elements dynamically with the cursor on the screen. Settings to enable or disable showing sketch relationships symbols found in View, Sketch Relations. If we drag one of the infinite corners, the two neighboring lines follow the end point drawn. This is useful when we are experimenting with changes to the sketch as you can see the new and old status sketch. Settings to enable or disable can be found in Tools , Options , Sketch , Draw on Drag.

Dimension Types in Sketches Solidworks

When you selected the Smart Dimension tool in the shortcut bar while creating the sketch, you may have noticed that there were a few more dimension types Cr e a t e a B a s e E x t r u s io n 9 5 available. The Smart Sketch dimension type will be the type you will use most of the time, but it still wouldn’t hurt to become familiar with all the dimension types:  Smart Dimension. The Smart Dimension tool will be your most used tool when defining sketch elements. Smart Dimension automatically selects the dimension type that will be used based on the sketch entities that are selected. Not only does Smart Dimension determine the dimension type based on the type of entity selected, but it also can choose another dimension type, such as angles and point-to-point dimensions, based on where you place the dimensions.  Horizontal Dimension. The Horizontal Dimension tool creates a dimension where the dimension line is horizontal and the extension lines are vertical regardless of the entit...

Drawing Template and Sheet Format

Project 1 – Drawing Template and Sheet Format  Project Objective Create a C-size Drawing Template.  Create an A-size Drawing Template.  Project Situation As the designer, your responsibilities include developing drawings that adhere to the ASME Y14 American National Standard for Engineering Drawing and Related Documentation Practices.  The foundation for a SolidWorks drawing is the Drawing Template.  Drawing size, drawing standards, units and other properties are defined in the Drawing Template.  Sheet Formats contain the following: border, title block, revision block, company name, logo, SolidWorks Properties and Custom Properties. You are under time constraints to complete the project on schedule.  Create a SolidWorks custom Sheet Format.  Import an existing AutoCAD C-size drawing.  Create a custom C-size Drawing Template and an A-size Drawing Template.     fr: SDC PUBLICATIONS Schroff Development Corporation www.schr...
