CSWP Assembly Motion and Detection 2

Question 1

In a SolidWorks assembly, what does a 'LimitAngle' mate do when applied between two components?

Accepted Answer

Restricts angular rotation between two components within defined minimum and maximum values

Answer

Locks the angle permanently between two faces

Answer

Sets a fixed angle that cannot be changed without editing the mate

Answer

Converts a rotational joint into a fixed joint

Question 2

Which SolidWorks tool would you use to visualize the swept volume of a moving component during animation?

Accepted Answer

Motion Study Results

Answer

Interference Detection with 'Treat coincidence as interference' enabled

Answer

Physical Simulation sweep trace

Answer

Assembly Visualization

Question 3

When setting up a gear mate in SolidWorks, what input is required to define the gear ratio?

Accepted Answer

The ratio of angular velocities between the two gear axes

Answer

The number of teeth on each gear

Answer

The pitch diameter of each gear

Answer

The module value of each gear

Question 4

In SolidWorks Motion Analysis, what is a 'spring' element used for?

Accepted Answer

Simulating elastic force proportional to relative displacement between two components

Answer

Applying a constant force between two points

Answer

Locking two components at a fixed distance

Answer

Replacing a concentric mate in dynamic simulations

Question 5

Which mate type is used in SolidWorks to simulate a rack-and-pinion mechanism?

Accepted Answer

Rack Pinion Mate

Answer

Gear Mate

Answer

Linear/Linear Coupler Mate

Answer

Screw Mate

Question 6

In Collision Detection, what happens when 'Stop at collision' is enabled during manual component dragging?

Accepted Answer

SolidWorks stops the drag motion when the component contacts another body

Answer

The component is automatically fixed in place after a collision

Answer

An alert dialog is shown listing all interfering components

Answer

The colliding components are highlighted red permanently

Question 7

What is the purpose of the 'Physical Dynamics' option in SolidWorks assembly dragging?

Accepted Answer

It allows dragged components to push other components using contact forces

Answer

It applies gravity to all components in the assembly

Answer

It enables full FEA analysis during drag

Answer

It calculates mass properties during motion
