1 Assemblies Mobility SolidWorks Assembly Files An assembly file is a collection of parts The first part brought into an assembly file is fixed Other parts are constrained relative to that part (or other parts) using mating relations CAD suspension model by Patrick Powers CAD/Fab Assemblies & Mobility 2 The Mating Game Mating features Esp. useful for Points (incl. vertices, sketch points) parts with Lines (incl. edges, axes, sketch lines) curved surfaces Planes (incl. front, top, right, reference planes) Cylindrical features (cylinders, holes) Spheres Surfaces remain tangent Mechanical Mates Relative rotation about axes Cam Mate Gear Mate CAD/Fab Assemblies & Mobility 4 1

Open sketch 2. Convert entitity 3. Extrude thin feature Part is fixed in place (until mate suppressed) CAD/Fab Assemblies & Mobility 6 Exploded Views Exploded views show how components relate to each other Useful in assembly drawings Exercise Choose the correct front view None (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) CAD/Fab Assemblies & Mobility 7 8 2
