Read the first 6 Assembly Design flashcards as text

  1. Which SolidWorks mate constrains a cylindrical face of one component to a cylindrical face of another so they share the same axis?

    Answer: Concentric

    The Concentric mate aligns the axes of two cylindrical or conical faces so they become coaxial.

  2. What does a 'Fixed' component mean in a SolidWorks assembly?

    Answer: The component is locked to the origin and cannot move

    A Fixed component is anchored to the assembly origin and has zero degrees of freedom.

  3. Which SolidWorks assembly mate prevents two planar faces from moving apart but allows rotation?

    Answer: Coincident mate

    A Coincident mate on two planar faces makes them coplanar, constraining translation while allowing rotation.

  4. What is the purpose of a 'Limit Angle' mate in SolidWorks?

    Answer: Restricts the rotational range of a component between a minimum and maximum angle

    The Limit Angle mate sets a minimum and maximum angular range between components, simulating a mechanical stop.

  5. In SolidWorks, which feature allows you to create new part geometry within the context of an assembly?

    Answer: In-Context Editing

    In-Context Editing lets you open and sketch on a part file while the surrounding assembly is visible for reference.

  6. What does 'Smart Fasteners' automatically do in a SolidWorks assembly?

    Answer: Inserts appropriate fasteners such as bolts and nuts into existing holes based on their size

    Smart Fasteners uses the Toolbox library to automatically populate holes with correctly sized fasteners.
