Box

• Completeness, 2 points
• Demonstrations 
• Fully defined sketch with dimensions, 4 points, 
• Extrude, Feature Fillet, Shell, Extrude Cut, 1 point each.

• Completeness, 2 points
• Demonstrations 
• Fully defined sketch with dimensions, 4 points, 
• Extrude, Feature Chamfer, Shell, Extrude Cut, 1 point each.

For next Tuesday we will have an evaluation of 2 of the 4 models that we have modeled so far in a similar format as this week.  The evaluation criteria will be similar to the following:

• Completeness, models are finished with all of the features shown in the examples or in class. (1 point with 1/2 point off for each missing feature)
• Dimensions, I will be looking for proper dimensions on your sketches (2 points with 1/2 point off for each missing dimension)
• Fully Defined, your model sketches will be fully defined (lines are black) (1 point)
• Feature Names, rename features to better describe what that feature does (2 points with 1/2 point off for each unnamed feature).  See example below.
• Origin, the origin will have to be somewhere placed specifically in the model either in the center of your object or where the examples in the book show it to be located (1 point).
• Modeling modifications (3 points)
• Extra credit, 1/2 point for each fully defined feature or element. 

The image below shows some more accurate dimensions for your Outlet Cover.  Use inches as your units precision to 3 units after the decimal.  Use a fillet instead of a chamfer.

Assignments: 
Complete the Plate, Blocks and Cosmetic Thread from the ED book. 

Complete Tutor1 and the Wrench in the SG book.

Information on the Wrench:  Model a wrench, in a manner you see fit, must be a specific size and an angled head (around 5 to 7 degrees), choose a metallic material.  A demonstration of some modeling techniques will be on Wednesday and Thursday.

Examination:

We will have Examination 2 on on Wednesday and Thursday this week, the last days of the week and the quarter.  The exam will be in the usual 2 parts.  The written portion will be per the syllabus with about half of the questions from the previous exam and the design assignment portion will be as described below: 

Design portion:

Finish modeling the the Hand Truck using the assemblies, parts, Toolbox items and the casters from 3D Content Central from the first exam plus the additional parts and assemblies as described below.  Make certain that your Hand Truck model is complete per Examination 1.  There will be six additional parts for this exam.  Four of the six parts will be modeled before the exam and will include the Tire, Wheel Hub, Axle and Handle Bar.  One of the six parts will be a Cotter Pin from 3D Content Central.  One of the six parts will be modeled in class.  The part names, instances and descriptions of these parts include:

• Tire (1) model before class (see instructions below)
• Wheel (1) model before class (see instructions below)
• Wheel Tire Sub-Assembly (2) model before class (see instructions below)
• Axle (1) model before class (see instructions below)
• Handle Bar (1) model before class (see instructions below)
• Cotter Pin from 3D Content Central (2) download a 1/8" sized pin of your choice
• Axle Support (2) modeled during the examination

• Parts to be modeled before the exam:

• The Tire, modeled per the following information:
• Material, Rubber or plastic of your choice
• Drawn on the Front Plane (Right and Top Plane symmetry) The profile of the Tire can be a different shape than what is shown for extra credit, center to center distance has to be what is shown and has to fit your Wheel Hub.  Treads or similar details may be considered for extra credit.

• The Wheel Hub, to be modeled per the following information:
• Right and Top Plane symmetry
• Material, AISI 316 Stainless Steel Sheet
• Added details may be considered for extra credit



 

• The Wheel Tire Sub-Assembly.
• Right and Top Plane symmetry
• Create an assembly of the Wheel Hub and Tire.  Fully defined mates.  Insert this subassembly into your Hand Truck assembly.
• The Axle, to be modeled per the following information:
• Right and Top Plane symmetry
• Material, AISI 1035 Steel, 1/2 inch in diameter, 19" in length, 0.05" 45 degree chamfer on the ends, 0.125" hole for a cotter pin on the ends measured 3/16" from the ends.
• The Handle Bar, to be modeled per the following information:
• Right Plane symmetry
• Material, AISI 1020 Cold Rolled Steel, 1 inch outside diameter with 3/32" wall thickness.
• Sweep Feature using a 3D Sketch path per the guidance below
• Draw 2 symmetric lines on the Front Plane at the appropriate distance apart from each at the defined length shown in the images below.
• On a separate plane parallel to the Front Plane sketch a symmetric line of a desired length
• You now have 6 endpoints that can define the endpoints of connected lines sketched in a 3D Sketch element
• Provide 4 sketch fillets with two different fillet radii of your choice. 
• Cut two holes perpendicular to the Front Plane, centered on the axis in the center of the tube, on both sides of the vertical portions of this part at the same size and tolerance as on the Pole Supports 20-7/8" measured from the bottom of the Handle Bar.  Also cut two holes perpendicular to the Right Plane, centered on the axis in the center of the tube, on both sides of the vertical portions of this part at the same size and tolerance as on the Pole Supports 2-1/8" measured from the bottom of the Handle Bar.  In the assembly line up either of these holes with the holes on the Pole Supports or the Horizontal Wheel Mount.

• Keep your original Week 6 model intact by copying that folder into your Week 10 folder
• Save the Cotter Pin file into the folder mentioned above.
• Save the assembly of your model including your fasteners from the Toolbox into the folder mentioned above or a new one by using the "Save As" option, clicking on the "References" folder button then checking the "Save Toolbox Parts" check box.  Choose a folder name and location of your choice.

Final Project Advice:

• Regarding the toolbar or function presentation:
• You are responsible for learning about these functions and presenting what you have learned and applied to your project.  I can not be a resource for this part of your Final but can help on specific issues during class time.
• There are typically hundreds of videos, tutorials, blogs and website resources out there for what you are trying to learn, apply and present.  SolidWorks tutorials (Sheet Metal, Weldments, Moldtools and Simulation) and the textbook (Sheet Metal and Mold Tools) are also resources.  Check these out.
• I also have some books on Sheet Metal and Weldments if you want to borrow them.  Let me know.
• Links, send me links to some sites that you find useful.
• Will Farrell sent the following regarding Curves and Surfaces:
Here is a link to the tutorial I was talking about;
