CSWP - Certified Solidworks Professional Multi-body Part Techniques Questions and Answers

Question 1

You are working on a multi-body part and need to create a new, single part file from one of the bodies, which will then be used in an assembly.
Which command sequence is the most direct way to accomplish this while maintaining a link to the original multi-body part?

Accepted Answer

Select the body in the Solid Bodies folder, right-click, and choose 'Insert into New Part'.

Answer

Use the 'Split' command, define splitting lines/planes, and save the resulting bodies.

Answer

Use the 'Save Bodies' command and select the body to save it as a new part.

Answer

Copy the body using 'Move/Copy Body', suppress all other bodies, and use 'File > Save As'.

Question 2

In a multi-body part scenario, you have a main housing and a separate body representing a tool. You need to remove the volume of the tool from the main housing. Which operation within the 'Combine' command is designed for this specific task?

Accepted Answer

Subtract

Answer

Add

Answer

Common

Answer

Intersect

Question 3

Which of the following is a primary advantage of using a multi-body part approach for a weldment design instead of an assembly?

Accepted Answer

It allows for features like fillets and chamfers to be easily applied across the intersections of multiple bodies.

Answer

It allows for dynamic motion studies between the welded members.

Answer

It simplifies the creation of a Bill of Materials (BOM) with unique part numbers for each member.

Answer

Each body can have its own unique set of configurations independent of the other bodies.

Question 4

You have used the 'Split' command to divide a single body into three separate bodies within the same part file. After the split, you decide you want to save each of these new bodies as individual part files and automatically generate an assembly from them. What is the most efficient way to do this?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'Save Bodies' feature, select the bodies, and check the 'Create Assembly' option.

Answer

Right-click the 'Split' feature in the FeatureManager tree and select 'Create Assembly'.

Answer

Individually save each body using 'Insert into New Part' and then manually create a new assembly.

Answer

Use the 'Combine' feature to export the bodies and then create the assembly.

Question 5

The 'Intersect' tool offers a powerful way to create complex geometry. Which of the following is a unique capability of the 'Intersect' tool compared to the 'Combine' tool?

Accepted Answer

It can create solid geometry from the enclosed volume of intersecting surfaces and planes.

Answer

It can only be used to merge two solid bodies into one.

Answer

It requires the user to manually trim away unwanted geometry after the operation.

Answer

It is exclusively used for subtracting one body from another.

Question 6

When working with a multi-body part, you need to apply a feature, such as a cut-extrude, to only two of the five bodies present in the part. How do you control which bodies are affected by the feature?

Accepted Answer

In the PropertyManager for the feature, use the 'Feature Scope' selection box to specify the target bodies.

Answer

You must suppress the bodies you do not want the feature to affect.

Answer

SOLIDWORKS automatically applies the feature to all intersecting bodies.

Answer

The feature must be created before the other bodies are created in the FeatureManager tree.
