Serial No. 32

Animation displayed in 'Nose Pliers' Assembly--SolidWorks 2017 (with caption and audio narration)

In this video, we will demonstrate how to apply the different type of mates in the assembly environment for creating the animation.
..................................................................................
To watch full sketching video of this model 'Nose Pliers', please visit on my another associated video named as 'Nose Pliers' (Video Tutorial) SolidWorks.

Click the following link to get the model file: - http://bit.ly/2oUp3Lb

Transcription of the Video

Create a new assembly inside an English template.
The ‘Begin Assembly’ command is preactivated in the assembly design window.
Place the ‘Part1’ file in the assembly.
Save the assembly, name it as ‘Nose Pliers with Animation’.
When the first part file is placed in the assembly, the part remains as a grounded component.
So we will do unground the part with the help of ‘Float’ option.
Right-click on the ‘Part1’ file and choose ‘Float’ option.
Drag the part and select it, choose ‘Edit Part’ option from the design window.
Go to the model tree and open the visibility of ‘Axis1’.
The Axis is not visible in the design window, so we will turn on the ‘Axes’ button.
Now the axis is visible in the design window.
Return back to the assembly environment.
Apply a ‘Coincident’ mate between the Top Plane of Assembly and Top Plane of ‘Part1’.
Apply another ‘Coincident’ mate between the Axis1 of ‘Part1’ and Origin point of the Assembly.
Activate the ‘Insert Component’ command, place the ‘Part2’ file in the assembly.
Rotate the part by using ‘Move with Triad’ command.
Apply a ‘Concentric’ mate between the two holes of the Part.
Apply a ‘Coincident’ mate between the inside face of the slot of ‘Part1’ and inside face of the slot of ‘Part2’.
Place the ‘Revit’ file in the assembly.
Select the ‘Revit’ file and rotate to the proper position.
Apply a ‘Concentric’ mate between inside cylindrical face of ‘Revit’ and inside cylindrical face of the hole of ‘Part2’.
Apply a ‘Coincident’ mate between inside face of the ‘Part2’ and back face of ‘Revit’.
Apply a ‘Coincident’ mate between Front Plane of ‘Revit’ and Right Plane of the assembly.
Drag the ‘Part1’ file and activate the Mate command.
Different types of mates are available here, choose any mate as you need according to your design.
Select the ‘Angle’ mate option and set the angle value 0 deg.
Select the face of ‘Part1’ and Right Plane of assembly, select the ‘Anti-Aligned’ button under the Mate alignment option.
Choose the ‘Flip dimension’ option and click OK to execute the command.
In the same manner, apply another ‘Angle’ mate on the opposite side of the part.
Now the assembly component is fulley defined in the assembly.
Suppress the ‘Angle2’ mate.
Activate the ‘Move Component’ command and select the ‘Collision Detection’ option.
Drag the part until it touches the opposite part.
Now highlighted face shows here to stop the motion of the component at the moment of touch of any other entity.
Click OK to finish the command.
Go to the Evaluate tab and activate the ‘Measure’ command.
Measure the angle between these two edges of the part.
Activate the ‘Interference Detection’ command.
And check the interference between the two components.
Unsuppress the ‘Angle2’ mate.
Go to the ‘Motion Study’ tab, click the ‘Expand Motion Manager’ button.
Right-click on the ‘Orientation and Camera Views’ option, select the ‘Disable Playback of View Keys’ option.
Go to the ‘Mates’ folder, select the ‘Angle1’ mate and move the timebar at 10 second.
Right-click on the animation timeline and place the new key by using ‘Place Key’ command.
Modify this new key and paste the angle value 69.78676/2 deg. and click OK.
Move the timebar at 13 second and place the new key.
Pause the animation for 3 seconds.
Move the timebar at 23 second and place the new key.
Modify this new key, fill the value 0 deg. and click OK.
Follow the same steps which were done earlier to create the animation for ‘Angle2’ mate.
Click the ‘Calculate’ button to check the animation.
Stop the animation and clear the screen to view full screen of the model.
At the last, click ‘Play from Start’ button to see the result.

Choose ‘Point and Face/Plane’ option as this particular type of selection.
Many options available here, choose any option as you need.
Select the origin point and Front Plane of assembly to create the axis.
Click OK to execute the command.
Open the visibility of axis by using ‘View Axes’ command.
Return to the assembly view.
Activate the ‘Mate’ command, select the assembly origin and Axis of Circular Ring and apply it.
Select the Coincident2 mate and suppress the mate.
Let see here, the Circular ring part rotates about the inner periphery of Hook with the help of tangent and axis mate.
Create an Axis between origin point of assembly and end point of arc in assembly.
Create a new work plane between front plane and this axis.
A work plane has been created along the axis.
Apply an angle mate between Front plane of Circular Ring and Plane1.
Set the angle value to 0 degree.
Go on the Evaluate tab and activate the ‘Measure’ command.
Select the Top Plane and Plane1 and monitor the value.
Copy the angle value and calculate the value as shown (290.39126 degree).
In the next section, we will create animation on the Circular Ring its start value is 0⁰ and end value 290.39126⁰.
Choose Front View, in the Orientation dialog box, activate the ‘New view’ command and set its name as ‘View2'.
In the same manner, choose Isometric View, set its name as ‘View1’.
These saved views will be used later in animation timeline.
Select the Motion Study tab, click the Orientation and Camera button in the animation timeline.
Right click on the time bar and select Move Time Bar option, set the time on 2 second.
Copy the View-1 key and place the key on 2 seconds.
Pause 2 seconds on the View-1 position.
Move the time bar on 7 seconds and add the new key.
Minimize the animation timeline and choose View-2, in the Orientation dialog box.
Return back to the animation timeline and right click over the 7 seconds key and select ‘Replace Key’ option.
Time taken 5 seconds in changing from view-1 to view-2 position.
In the Mates folder, select the Angle1 mate and add the key in the timeline by using Add key button.
Right click the animation timeline, move the time bar at 22 seconds.
Right click on the Angle1 and select Edit Dimension option, paste the specified angle, click OK.
Click the ‘Collapse Motion Manager’ button.
Click play animation button to check the motion.
Now we will create some modifications in the animation.
Right click the start key point time of angle mate and move the key position at 9 seconds in the Edit time dialogue box.
Right click the end key point time of angle mate and move the key position at 24 seconds.
Stop the animation 2 seconds between View-2 and starting key point of Angle1 mate.
Go on the Orientation and Camera tab, copy the View-2 key and paste the key over 24 seconds in the timeline.
Move the time bar at 26 seconds, right click and paste View-2 key.
Pause the animation for 2 seconds at View-1 position.
Copy the end key point of Angle1 mate and paste key on 26 seconds.
Stay in the still position for 2 seconds.
Repeat the whole animation in reverse order to come back in starting position.
Minimize the animation timeline and clear the screen.
Click ‘Play from Start’ button and start the animation.
Return back to the assembly environment and save the file.

Gimlet (SolidWorks 2015 Tutorial)

Serial No. 57

Gimlet (SolidWorks 2015 Tutorial)

In this SolidWorks Tutorial we will describe how to build the model of a ‘Gimlet’.

It will cover the following topics.

........................................................................................................

• Creating 2D Sketches on different Planes.

• Use the sketch constraints that are applied on during sketch creation.

• Use feature commands such as Extruded Boss/Base, Revolved Cut, Extruded Cut, Swept Cut, Helix/Curve etc.

• How to create ‘Helix/Curve’ feature with various operations by selecting a sketch profile.

• Use Extrude command with various operations.

• How to place the part into the assembly and how to create a handle in context of an assembly environment.
