Class Design Assignment details:

Assembly Models. On Wednesday
we will discuss what you propose to model or this project per the detailed
criteria below. You need to explain what you will call your model
(such as Bar-B-Que, video game controller, socket ratchet handle, conveyor
belt, car, bike or similar items), what it is to be used for, how it will
work then describe each of the different part components and how they will
interact with the assembly. We will discuss these ideas as a class
and I will provide some guidance on how to get started using various modeling
techniques. Assignment details follow:
-
Design at least 3 unique parts
with the expectation of assembling them for the next Design Assignment.
Parts in the assembly, other than the base, must be able to move, rotationally
or translationally (like a machine). Think of the Sarrus Mechanism.
-
Parts (3 total including the
Base), include the usual criteria for evaluation
-
Base, one part has to be a base
feature to be fixed to the Origin in the assembly.
-
To have a round or rectangular
hole(s) or slot(s) or an extruded boss(es) for use as a reference for the
insertion of additional parts
-
Hole Wizard holes in the base
for mounting to some external structure
-
Parts2 and 3 (or more)
-
To be inserted on the base or
on one of the other parts
-
Must fit into the slots, holes
or bosses on the Base as described above
-
Fasteners, connectors, pins
and similar items are not appropriate parts for this assignment but can
be used.
-
Include the following features
on at least one of the parts above:
-
Hole Wizard feature on a part
other than the Base
-
Linear or circular pattern
-
Include a Fastener from the
Toolbox in the Design Library into your assembly, in more than one location,
properly mated.
-
Feature using the Slot Sketch
Entity on a part
-
Evaluation:
-
A minimum level of complexity
is required for each part.
-
For the sketches of your parts
I will be looking for about 24 Sketch Relation groups, Dimensions and Reference
Geometry items on your most complex sketch.
-
For the Features of your parts
I will be looking for 6 Features or Bodies
-
3 parts will be considered for
full credit, the next 3 parts will be considered for partial credit.
-
The combination of sketch elements,
features and parts will be added together, divided by 3 for a score of
30 points (a maximum of 36 points with extra credit (20% more)).
From this score points will be taken off for missed items in this section
or added for the extra effort demonstrated.
-

-
Complete the Rod and

SG book, no exercises this week
-
SW-VD, The Pressure Plate
(in the SolidWorks Tutorial (Getting Started) Introduction to SolidWorks)
and the Pressure Vessel. Make the following modifications
and models as described below (also refer to the videos in the Video Section
below)
-
Pressure Plate, model
from the SolidWorks Tutorial then make the following modifications:
-
Material-Alloy Steel (SS)
-
Outside diameter to 155mm
-
Using the rollback bar, after
your Base Extrude, create a bossed edge lip on the bottom of the cover
8mm wide and 15mm down from the bottom of the plate. Name this "Bottom
Lip"
-
Cut a nesting surface on the
inside of the lip at half the 8mm thickness and cut to 9mm in depth.
Similar to the "Lesson 2 - Assemblies" Tutorial.
-
Apply a Cosmetic Thread to the
inner surface using None for the Standard, 150mm for the Minor Diameter,
"Through" End Condition, label the thread Call Out "MACHINED THREAD".
-
Make the Top Ring, on the top
of the plate, 20mm from the edge of the plate
-
Thread (cosmetic thread) the
center hole to: Straight Pipe Thread, 1-11-1/2 NPSM, End Condition "Through"
-
Re-dimension the sketch for
the Ring Boss and make it 15.50mm from the edge of the plate rather than
from the center. Use the leader tag in the properties manager to
control the dimension placement.
-
Pressure Vessel
-
Material-Alloy Steel (SS)
-
Create a vessel to accommodate
the Pressure Plate using the SW "Lesson 2 - Assemblies" SolidWorks
Tutorial as a guide.
-
Design of your choice
-
Make cut 12mm deep
-
Create similar threads as on
the plate
-
Pressure Vessel/Plate Assembly
-
Mate the Pressure Plate so that
the surfaces at the end of the threads are coplanar
-
Mate the plate so that it can
rotate about the vessel (Temporary Axis's perhaps)

6:
Your
first exam is on Monday of this week. Information on the modeling
portion of the exam can be found in this section below. More information
will be added before Sunday.
Start
Project 3, on engineering drawings, in the ED book and start putting together
drawings for your Assembly Model parts and assembly. |
In
Class exercises and assignment details:
-
You will
have your first examination on Monday of this week in 2 parts. The
written portion will be per the syllabus and the design assignment portion
will be as described below:
-
The Garden
Cart
-
Model
the cart as described below. Before class on Monday you will: download
some parts, create some parts, and create a partial assembly. On
Monday you will create a part in class in a similar manner as our evaluations,
modify some existing parts then finish your partial assembly with parts
and toolbox items. The requirements may change, please check back.
-
Parts
to download (more coming soon)
-
go to
3D
Content Central and download a cotter pin, scale this up or down as
needed. Also look up garden hose.
-
Cart
Hitch Top, fully
define this considering the hitch hole on the Cart Floor Support. Full
round Fillet on the front, 1/2" fillet on the back per the image below.
Insert a Clevis Pin from the Tool Box, fully define this.
-
Parts
to Model out of class:
-
The Cart
Floor Support, Plain Carbon Steel, use the profile in the image below,
start with a center rectangle, sketch fillets and an offset, on the appropriate
plane (think about the cart orientation), look up the standard sheet steel
gauge for wall thickness, extrude to 44 inches, Hole Wizard holes (sized
in class) Clearance holes, Create a Configuration named "Center" that adds
20 inches on the front of the support, place a 7/8" hole for a hitch in
the front, set back 1" symmetric. Hole Wizard holes are also on the
Center Configuration.
-
Axle,
Plain Carbon Steel, Fixed to the origin in the assembly, 0.75" diameter,
41 inches long, cotter pin hole on the top plane at 1.0" from each side
and 3/16" in diameter, 1/16" chamfer at 35 degrees on each end, Cosmetic
Thread 3/4-10, 3/4 inch long, both ends, show this.

tips:
-
There
should be no material interferences like with the Panels on the
Cart
Floor Supports.
-
Panelsshould
be flush with the ends of the Cart Floor Supports.

Remember
to consider your SolidWorks planes for mating, all of your parts, if built
with symmetry in mind, should have these available, mate these part planes
with the associated plane of the assembly.

save it, then resave it as your inches file making the appropriate changes
for the units. Start from the beginning of the project and follow
all of the steps listed.
-
Page 3-9, the bottom of the
page, when it discusses the units make certain that you also assign inches
as the "Dual Dimension Length" with 3 units after the decimal (like we
have been doing all quarter)
-
Save your file to "DRAW-MM-ANSI"
in your template folder.
-
Page 3-10, top of the page,
make certain your font and text size are as described (the default annotation
size is set at about 1/8" which is appropriate for large text, notes and
smaller text will be about 3/32", we will use this when needed in class)
-
Page 3-10, middle of the page,
change the bent leader to a length of 2mm as opposed to the default value.
You will find this location using information in the image below.

Your logo must be unique, no
credit for someone else's work
-
An image
-
Inserted to the left or in between
the Proprietary and Confidential box in the titleblock
-
Draw sketch lines around it

neat
-
Does not have to look 3D or
in color (they usually are not in color on engineering drawings)
-
Include some graphical styling
including various line sizes, fonts, hatching and other techniques
-
extra credit for extra design
styling
-
Below is my logo and would represent
a design that meets the criteria described above.
-
Below are some additional logos
from various engineering and architectural drawings that I have found over
the years. These were designed in AutoCAD.
