Start Project #1, due week 2.

These projects will be covered in class, reading and practicing ahead is a good way to stay caught up. Follow the progression in the book from page 1-1 through 1-102.

Complete the following assignments:

  • 1.1e
  • 1.1f 
  • 1.3
These assignments are due on Friday April 8th, on your new drawing template that we will create next Tuesday during class.
 
 
  • 1.5a, 1.5b, 1.5c, 1.5d place all the parts on one drawing, front view only for the flat parts, three views for the axle and shaft collar make all the views the same scale.
  • Project #1, each part on a different sheet.


Title block example:

 
 

Skip the section in Project #2 on CosmosXpress

  • 2.1 use the flange bolt instead of fastners from the tool box. Drawing with an isometric view only. Dimension the face plate only, extra credit for dimensioning the slotted holes (you have to show me how you did it).
  • 2.3a assembly. Drawing with an isometric view only.
  • 2.3b put a motor on it (graded in class on Thursday, make sure you have it done by the end of class).

  • 2.3d exploded view, isometric or similar, on an 11 x 17 inch sheet with your new title block/page format from Project #3.  Include all the elements from Project #3 into your title block/page format. Do not do the animation portion of this exercise.  You will have two grades on this sheet, one for the title block and one for the exploded view. 
  • Test 1 on Thursday

  • 3.8, provide all the dimensioning features shown, print on "A" size paper.
  • Project #3 (30 points), print on "B" size paper. Follow the section up to "Revision Table", page 3-58.  For your knowledge, the remaining sections in the rest of this project exist to enhance your drawings and can be very useful. You may want to refer back to them in your future employ, you may need it.
  • 4.2a and b, (30 points total) use the basic dimensions provided. You don't have to add all the detail I did, however, you will get extra credit if add detail. Send both parts and the assembly to my email in "e-drawings" format.

  • Assemble 4.1a through 4.1g (skip 4.1d and 4.1f). Explode the view and send the assembly only, via eDrawings. 
  • 4.4, one tray and 2 glasses. Send each via eDrawings.
  • 4.5 use your own dimensions. Explode the view and send the assembly only, via eDrawings.
Make sure you select the Allow Measurement option when you save your drawings in eDrawing format for this week (and all eDrawings assignments from now on).
Always save your parts and assemblies as SolidWorks files also.
 
  • Project #4, hand in an eDrawing drawing for each part built (4 total). 
    •        Use the formatting standards covered in Project #3.
    •        No Tolerances
    •        No Datums
    •        However, extra credit for section, auxiliary and detail views
                 (only when appropriate).
  • 5.1 and 5.2 as an eDrawing drawing.
  • Save 5.3a and b for next week. 

5.1, O-Ring Cross Section


5.2, Hook Dimensions
 

     

Test 2 

Test 2, the "Hub"

Test 2, the "Tire",  Add tread detail for extra credit.

Test 2, Instructions:

  • Provide fully dimensioned drawings for both the tire and hub.
  • Provide the cart assembly as an eDrawing assembly.
For the exam, one question will ask you to define something similar to this "Feature Frame" (each symbol needs a definition):

 

Week 8 Exercises:

  • 5.3a and b as an eDrawing drawing. 
  • 5.5 as an eDrawing.

mWeek 9 Exercises:
  • Project #5, skip the part on "Export Files".
    • Send as an eDrawing assembly, with the measurement option chosen.
  • Create Project #6's cabinet, just the sheet metal part.
    • Send as an eDrawing part, with the measurement option chosen. 

  • 6.3 a-d, follow the book, save for the Final.

Final

  • Exercise 6.4 (a-c) in the book (skip d,e and f)
    • You have until Tuesday to get this done.
      • Helpful hint: have the project done before class on Tuesday, there will be little time to work on it in class.  The final ends at 8pm!! 
    • By the end of the week we will have completed three of the four assemblies needed (I hope you have saved them all).
      • You'll have to back-up to Project#5 and build exercise 5.6.
        • Skip the Bill of Materials section and the drawing portion of 

        • exercise 5.6.
        • On page 5-127, in the last paragraph, the first word says "Resolved", it should say "Suppress".
    • Follow the book for the assembly of the Final Project.
      • I would suggest that you copy each of the former exercises in their individual folders and paste them into a new folder named Final Project.
      • Also, create your Final Project assembly in that folder.
      • Make sure all the sub-assemblies are built properly and that exercise 2.3 moves freely before putting them into the Final Project assembly.
    • You have until Tuesday, the day of the final to get this all done.  Have it done before class!!
      • On Tuesday you will be assessed on 4 criteria:
        • A printed drawing of a part (to be announced on Tuesday) (30 points).
          • Print out and hand this in on Tuesday
        • At least three configurations on part # 1.5a with 3, 5 and 7 holes (10 points).
          • Demonstrate this on Tuesday.
        • Attach a Linear Motor or a Spring from the Simulation Toolbar and attach it to the Piston Rod part of the Air Cylinder (20 points). 
          • Practice this and make it function well.
          • Demonstrate this on Tuesday.
        • An eDrawing of the assembly to be transfered by disk in class on Tuesday (40 points).
    The following is a suggested mating relation between the Hook and the 7 Hole Flat Bar.  This will allow it to pivot properly.  There are other ways of doing this, but make sure that the weight can rotate to simulate the pull of gravity.
