Bolt and Nut with Motion Simulation (Solid Edge ST9 Tutorial)
In this video we will describe you how to rotate the Nut on the Bolt by using ‘Motion’ command. It will cover the following topics. ........................................................................................................ • How to set the cylindrical joint. • How to set the Screw joint by applying screw pitch.
In this Solid Edge Tutorial we will describe how to build the model ‘Bolt and Nut’ and cut the UNF External/Internal thread with the help of ‘Helical Cutout’ command. After creating the model, place the parts in to the assembly.
We have added the audio on this video so that you can understand it this video more easily.
In this video, we create Bolt and Nut by SolidWorks. In modelling of this assembly, Unified National Fine Thread (external and internal) profiles are used in cutting of the thread.

Thread Cutting in Bolt & Nut-Autodesk Inventor 2013 (with caption and audio narration)
In this video tutorial we will show how to create a thread on a nut and bolt by using a thread profile and applying the coil tool in Autodesk Inventor. In our previous video we displayed how to create a sketch profile of a Unified and American screw (internal). We will utilize the same sketch profile here.
This will slice away the portion of the model temporarily that hides the plane on which we want to sketch.
Take the project of the model by activating the Project Cut Edges tool and convert them to the construction geometry.
Now draw a rectangle as shown and apply a construction override on it.
Open the file named Unified and American screw external thread.
Select the sketch profile drawn in the file and copy it as displayed.
Switch back to the Bolt file and paste it on the sketch.
Add a line to close this profile.
Rotate this profile 90° in a clockwise direction by utilizing the Rotate Tool.
Pick up the Move tool and place the profile on a new location.
Snap it to this point of rectangle.
Finish the sketch and activate the coil tool, it will automatically select the thread profile.
Next define the Z axis of the model as the Axis for the thread cutting.
Switch to Coil Tab of the tool dialogue box and set the type of the coil to Pitch and Height.
Fill the values in the Pitch and Height input boxes.
Switch back to the Coil Shape Tab and Select the Operation Type to Cut.
Click Ok to execute the command.
Start a new sketch over YZ Plane.
Take the project of the constructed part and take the measurement between the two threads to check the pitch created by coil tool.
Exit from the sketch and close its visibility from the browser bar.
Save the file and close it.
Open the file of Nut.
Start a new sketch over the back face of the model.
Select the projected centre point of the model and convert it to centre point.
Exit the sketch and activate the hole tool.
It will automatically select the placement point of the hole because we applied a centre point override over the projected centre point of the part in our previous sketch.
Set the type of the hole to Tapped Hole.
Define the setting of the hole as displayed and execute the command.
Check the diameter of the hole by utilizing the measure tool.
Now select the hole feature in the browse and edit it.
Set the type of the hole to simple hole and execute the command.
Activate the chamfer tool.
Set the type of the chamfer to distance and angle.
First select the back face from which the chamfer is angled and then select this edge of the hole.
Fill the values in distance input box and leave the default angle value unchanged.
Click Ok to execute the command.
Start a new sketch over YZ Plane.
Activate the slice graphics command and the project of the model edges.
Convert all the lines into construction line.
Open the file named Unified and American screw external thread.
Select the sketch profile drawn in the file and copy it as displayed.
Switch back to the Nut file and paste it into the sketch.
Add a line to close this profile.
Rotate this profile 90° in a clockwise direction by utilizing the Rotate Tool.
Now draw a rectangle as shown and apply a construction override on it.
Pick up the Move tool and place the profile on a new location.
Measure the length of the Nut.
Activate the coil tool from the right click context menu, it will automatically select the thread profile.
Next define the Z axis of the model as the Axis for the thread cutting.
Switch to Coil Tab of the tool dialogue box and set the type of the coil to Pitch and Height.
Fill the values in the Pitch and Height input boxes.
Switch back to the Coil Shape Tab and Select the Operation Type to Cut. Next execute the command.
Start a new sketch over YZ Plane.
Take the project of the constructed part and take the measurement between the two threads to check the pitch created by coil tool.
Exit from the sketch and close its visibility from the browser bar.
The Screw file displayed in the video is taken from our model ‘Knob of Switch’.

Transcription of Video
1. Open the part file of Screw. 2. Select the 'Thread' tool in the Modify panel of 3D Model tab. 3. 'Face' selection button is automatically activated in the Thread dialogue box. 4. Select blue cylindrical face of the Screw. 5. Click the Specification tab, here it has automatically detected features/values like 'Thread Type', 'Size', 'Designation', 'Class' and 'Right Hand thread'. 6. If anyone wants to change the properties/features, it can be edited very easily. 7. Click OK to apply the thread feature. 8. Select the 'Thread Modeler' tool in the Thread Modeler panel of Tools tab. 9. Select Thread feature in the Browser Bar. 10. The Thread Modeler tool has automatically detected the pitch of the thread in the Thread Modeler Control dialogue box. 11. Click OK to apply realistic thread on the screw. .....................................................................................................................................................
