Spring Quarter 2013
End of the Quarter, Spring, 2013

The Final Projects (click on the images below)

 

The Class

Your Final Projects have been graded and your final grades posted at the Grade Sheet link below.  Most students did very well on their Final Projects and, just like the CSWA exam, this boosted many of your final grades.  Check the Grade Sheet link below. 

Images and videos from your Final Projects will be posted soon in the Final Section below. 

Your drawings, PFFs and ECLs will be in the box in the lab for a few weeks and again Fall Quarter.  Let me know if you would like to acquire these via other arrangements.

I have been approached about a few other SolidWorks related jobs at: Amtech in Wapto and one in northern California: WaneShear

Congratulations to all that passed the recent CSWA exam (EVERYONE).  Your CSWA certificates can be found at CWU's CSWA Hall of Fame.  And use your CSWA certificate as a tool in your job search!  Beyond the classroom, this certificate allows students to compare their SolidWorks modeling skills (from parts, assemblies and drawings) to anyone else in the World!  And this class did great!   Next stop, the CSWP!

    Out of 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.
            • Fully defined sketches
          • 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.
    • ED Book
      • Complete the Rod and Guide in Lesson 1
        • Insert a cosmetic thread, of the appropriate size, on both the front and back holes of the Rod.

      • 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.

    Week 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:

    • Examination 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.
            • Wheel Tire subassembly, mate both elements fixed to the origin
              • Wheel, AISI 304, revolved feature per the image below.
              • Tire, Rubber, revolved feature using the parameters from the wheel, extra credit for extra details.
          • Parts to Model in class: The Wheel Mount with a Right, Left and Center configuration.
          • Assembly 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.
