  1. Introduction to Part 2

  2. Outline of class • 30 mins: Intro • Terminology • Tour of SolidWorks Assembly • Adding parts • 2nd hour: Build your first assembly • Step-by-step guided instructions • 3rd hour: Assemble more stuff • Work off of an outline

  3. The SolidWorks Model Part Part Drawing Assembly Drawing

  4. Bi-Directional Associativity • All the models assemblies and drawings are connected. • When you make a change on a part, the change follows through all associated files. • In this case, it means that all the files that are associated with the assembly, must be transported with the assembly

  5. Terminology • Component • The parts that go into an assembly • Mates • How you relate one part to another • Fixed/Float • Components can either be fixed in space, or float and be free to move around

  6. Make first assembly • Download the files for the first assembly • http://zahncenternyc.wikidot.com/solidworks-basics

  7. 1. Open a new Assembly • File >> New >> Assembly

  8. 2. Adding components • There a few ways to add in components. • Drag and drop • Insert Componets >> Browse • Dragging the part from a different SolidWorks windows • Drag to copy components

  9. 2. Adding components • Using whichever method you like better, add in the following components: • 1 Base • 2 Brackets • 4 Washers • Choose ‘Preferred Narrow FW 0.25’ • 1 Shaft • 4 Screws • Choose ‘HX-SHCS 0.25-20x0.75x0.75-N • 1 Wheel

  10. 2. Add in components • You should see a mess like this

  11. 3. Make a plan of attack • Start to layout the pieces • Move pieces by clicking and dragging, or by selecting the ‘move’ tool • Rotate pieces by selecting ‘rotate’ tool • Underneath ‘Move Component’

  12. 3. Make plan of attack • My approach is to place components roughly where they should go. • Rotate parts if needed

  13. 3. Make plan of attack • If the part does not move, right click it, and choose ‘float’

  14. 3. Make plan of attack • Start with the base plate (so make it fixed) • Add on first bracket • Line up the holes • Put the bracket down • Line up screws and washer • Put them down • Add on roller and wheels • Line up the roller • Connect the roller • Line up the wheel • Connect the wheel • Screw in the last bracket • Same approach as the first one.

  15. 4. Make base plate fixed • Right click the base plate and choose ‘fixed’ • If you see float, then you are good. • In the tree look at the parts • If there is an (f) next to the part, that means it is fixed, if not, it is floating

  16. 5. Install the bracket • Start by lining up the holes. • To do this, we are going to create new mates • Click on the mate tool • To mate parts, you need to select faces from two different parts, and give them a relationship • We are going to start by lining up 1 of the holes. • Choose the hole from each part that should line up • They should create a concentric mate

  17. 5. Install the bracket

  18. 5. Install the bracket • If you try to move the bracket, it will still be able to pivot and rise. • We need to fix that • Line up the second hole in the same manner

  19. 5. Install the bracket • Now the bracket needs to sit flush with the surface • To do that, click the bottom of the bracket and the surface where it will sit • Make a coincident mate

  20. 5. Install the bracket

  21. 5. Add in the bracket • Check the mate by trying to move the bracket

  22. 6. Screw in the bracket • Line up the screws, washers and holes with concentric mates. • Then make the top of the washer flush with the bottom of the screw head • Then make the bottom of the washer flush with the bracket

  23. 6. Screw in the bracket • Line up the screws with the holes – make 4 concentric mates

  24. 6. Screw in the bracket • Use coincident mates to put the washers and screws flush

  25. 6. Add the roller + wheel • To add the roller, use a concentric and then a coincident mate

  26. 6. Add roller + wheel • Now add the wheel onto the roller using a concentric and a coincident mate

  27. 7. Add the last bracket • I would line up the hole with the roller, and then line up the holes • Check to make sure it is stick in place

  28. 7. Add the last bracket • Add in the screws similar to the first bracket

  29. All Done!!!!

  30. Now Assemble this!

  31. Additional Topics • Coloring Parts • Animation • Advanced Mating Tools
