Create a simple Mould Design Assembly (SolidWorks 2017 Tutorial)

Serial No. 241

Create a simple Mould Design Assembly (SolidWorks 2017 Tutorial)

Today we will create a simple Mold design assembly in SolidWorks. In this video, I will tell you that if you create a new part and merge that part into another solid part, then how will a new mold be formed? First of all, we will create two-part files, as I have shown you in the image before starting this video and then afterwards we will place them into the assembly. At the end of this video, we will merge the first part into the second part by using 'Cavity' command in the SolidWorks Assembly environment. I hope you will enjoy this video.

Procedure of reading of Screw Gauge

Total number of divisions imprinted on Circular scale (in one round) = 25

Total number of divisions imprinted on Linear scale = 40

Pitch of Linear scale = total length of Linear scale/total number of divisions imprinted on Linear scale
= 25.4mm/40 = 0.635mm

Least count of Circular scale = Pitch of Linear scale/total number of divisions imprinted on Circular scale
= 0.635mm/25 = 0.0254mm

Reading of Linear scale = Pitch of Linear scale x Number of divisions opened on Linear scale
= 0.635mm x 4 = 2.54mm

Reading of Circular scale = Least count of Circular scale x Number of divisions
ahead of central line of Linear scale
= 0.0254mm x 2 = 0.0508mm

Total Reading = Reading of Linear scale + Reading of Circular scale
= 2.54mm + 0.0508mm = 2.5908mm

'Vernier Caliper' (Volume-1) SolidWorks 2017 Tutorial

(Rest of the model is designed in Volume-2 & 3)

Click the following link to get the model file: - http://bit.ly/2oRyACK

The Procedure of reading of Vernier Caliper in Millimetre Scale
Total number of divisions imprinted on Linear Scale = 150
Total number of divisions imprinted on Vernier Scale = 50
Pitch of Linear Scale = total length of Linear scale/total number of divisions imprinted on
                                       Linear scale
                                    = 150 mm / 150 = 1 mm
Least count of Vernier Scale = Pitch of Linear scale / Total number of divisions on Vernier Scale
                                                = 1 mm / 50 = 0.02 mm
Reading of Linear Scale = Pitch of Linear scale x Number of divisions on Linear Scale just before the
                                             zero of Vernier Scale
                                          = 1 mm x 12 = 12 mm
Reading of Vernier Scale = Least count of Vernier Scale x Number of divisions of Vernier Scale
                                              aligned with the marking of Linear Scale
                                           = 0.02 mm x 28 = 0.56 mm
Total Reading = Reading of Linear Scale + Reading of Vernier Scale
                         = 12 mm + 0.56 mm = 12.56 mm = 1.256 cm
__________________________________________________________________
Procedure of reading of Vernier Caliper in Inch Scale
Total number of divisions imprinted on Linear Scale = 240
Total number of divisions imprinted on Vernier Scale = 25
Pitch of Linear Scale = total length of Linear scale/total number of divisions imprinted
                                        on Linear scale
                                     = 6 inch / 240= 0.025 inch
Least count of Vernier Scale = Pitch of Linear Scale / Total number of divisions on Vernier scale
                                                = 0.025 inch / 25 = 0.001 inch
Reading of Linear Scale = Pitch of Linear scale x Number of divisions on Linear Scale just before the
                                             zero of Vernier Scale
                                          = 0.025 inch x 45 = 1.125 inch
Reading of Vernier Scale = Least count of Vernier Scale x Number of divisions of Vernier Scale
                                              aligned with the marking of Linear Scale
                                           = 0.001 inch x 14 = 0.014 inch
Total Reading = Reading of Linear Scale + Reading of Vernier Scale
                         = 1.125 inch + 0.014 inch = 1.139 inch

Set the desired view of the model and develop a new view, name it as ‘View-3’.
And replace the key from ‘View-2’ to ‘View-3’ in the animation timeline.
In the same way, replace another view key.
Finally click calculate button and click ‘Play form Start’ button to observe the animation of ‘Vise’ mechanism.
Save the assembly.
Return back to the Model view.

Transcription of the Video

Create a new assembly with an inch template.
And place the ‘Part1’ file in the assembly.
When the first part file is placed in the assembly, the part remains as a grounded component.
This part does not need to place any mates.
Go to the ‘View Orientation’ tab and choose an ‘Isometric’ view.
Activate the ‘Insert Components’ command and place the ‘Part3’ file in the assembly.
Apply a ‘Coincident’ mate between the Front face of ‘Part1’ and Back face of ‘Part3’.
Apply a ‘Coincident’ mate between Front Plane of the assembly and Front Plane of ‘Part3’.
Apply a ‘Distance’ mate between the top face of ‘Part3’ and ‘Part1’.
Set the distance value 0.688 inches and click OK.
Activate the ‘Insert Components’ command and place the ‘Part6’ file in the assembly.
Apply a ‘Concentric’ mate between the inner circular face of ‘Part6’ and an outer circular ring of ‘Part1’.
Apply a ‘Coincident’ mate between the back face of ‘Part1’ and back face of ‘Part6’.
Save the assembly with the name ‘Base Assembly’.
Apply a ‘Distance’ mate between the side face of ‘Part1’ and ‘Part6’.
Set the distance value 2.564 inches and click OK.
In the same manner, place a copy of ‘Part6’ in the assembly and mate it with ‘Part1’.
Create another new assembly and place the ‘Part2’ file in the assembly.
Open the visibility of Front Plane of assembly and turn on the ‘View Planes’ button.
Open the visibility of Top Plane of ‘Part2’.
Right-click on the ‘Part2’ file and select ‘Float’ option.
Apply a ‘Coincident’ mate between the Top Plane of ‘Part2’ and Front Plane of Assembly.
Turn off the visibility of planes.
Apply a Coincident mate between Right Plane of ‘Part2’ and Right Plane of ‘Assembly2’.
Save the assembly, name it as ‘Lid Assembly’.
The part is not fully defined in the assembly, so that apply another ‘Coincident’ mate between the Top plane of Lid assembly and the Front plane of ‘Part2’.
Activate the ‘Insert Components’ command and place the ‘Part7’ file in the assembly.
Apply a ‘Coincident’ mate between the top face of ‘Part2’ and back face of ‘Part7’.
Apply a ‘Coincident’ mate between Front Plane of Lid assembly and Front Plane of ‘Part7’.
Apply a ‘Coincident’ mate between Right Plane of the ‘Part7’ and Right Plane of ‘Lid assembly’.
Place the ‘Part5’ file in the assembly.
Apply a ‘Concentric’ mate between the outer circular face of ‘Part5’ and inside face of the hole of ‘Part2’.
Apply a ‘Coincident’ mate between Front Plane of ‘Part5’ and Front Plane of ‘Lid Assembly’.
Apply a ‘Coincident’ mate between Right Plane of ‘Lid Assembly’ and Right Plane of ‘Part5’.
Now the part is Fully Defined in the assembly.
Go to the ‘Evaluate’ tab and check the interference between two components by using ‘Interference Detection’ command.
Save and close all the assembly files.
Create a new Assembly file, it is our main assembly to create animation, and place the ‘Base Assembly’ file in the assembly.
Choose an Isometric View, right-click in the design area and activate the ‘View Orientation’ command.
In the Orientation dialogue box, select the ‘New View’ option.
Set the ‘Named View’ as ‘View-1’ and click OK.
Save the assembly by the name ‘Box (mini size) with Animation’.
Activate the ‘Insert Components’ command and place the ‘Lid Assembly’ file.
Apply a ‘Concentric’ mate between inside hole of the hinge and outer circular face of wire.
Apply a ‘Coincident’ mate between the side face of the hinge and face of slot of lid.
Drag the Lid Assembly and see the result, the ‘Lid Assembly’ rotates on the base of the hinge.
Place the ‘Part4’ file in the assembly.
Apply a ‘Concentric’ mate between the hole of the ‘Part4’ and outer circular face of wire.
Apply a ‘Coincident’ mate between the side face of ‘Part4’ and face of slot of lid.
Apply a ‘Tangent’ mate between the bottom face of the lid and outer circular ring of ‘Part1’.
Apply a ‘Coincident’ mate between the front face of ‘Base Assembly’ and back face of ‘Part4’.
Place the ‘Part8’ file in the assembly.
Turn off the visibility of the sketch of ‘Part8’ by using ‘View Sketches’ command.
Apply a ‘Concentric’ mate between ‘Axis1’ of the Lid assembly and circular face of ‘Part8’.
Apply a ‘Coincident’ mate between the Front Plane of ‘Part8’ and Front Plane of main assembly.
Apply a ‘Tangent’ mate between the cylindrical face of ‘Part8’ and the top face of ‘Part7’.
Check the interference between Handle and base.
Suppress the ‘Tangent1’, ‘Coincident3’ and ‘Tangent2’ mates.
Apply an ‘Angle’ mate between the Right Plane of ‘Part8’ and the top face of ‘Part7’.
Set the angle value to 12.46923 degrees and Click OK.
Change the name of the angle mate as ‘Drive-1’.
Unsuppress the ‘Tangent1’ mate and apply an ‘Angle’ mate between the back face of the ‘Part4’ and the front face of the ‘Part1’.
