Learning SOLIDWORKS 2019: A Project Based Approach book introduces the readers to SOLIDWORKS 2019, the world's leading parametric solid modeling package. In this book, the author has adopted a project-based approach to explain the fundamental concepts of SOLIDWORKS. This unique approach has been used to explain the creation of parts, assemblies, and drawings of a real-world model. The Learning SOLIDWORKS 2019 book will provide the users a sound and practical knowledge of the software while creating a motor cycle as the real-world model. This knowledge will guide the users to create their own projects in an easy and effective manner.

Creating Motor Cycle Assembly

Learning Objectives

After completing this chapter, you will be able to:

• Understand the concept of the bottom-up and top-down approaches

• Insert components in the Assembly environment

• Create the Sub-assemblies

• Apply mates

Creating The Motor Cycle Assembly

Part Description

In this section, you will create the Motor Cycle assembly shown in Figure 11-1. This assembly will be created in three parts: two sub-assemblies; Brake sub-Assembly and the Shock Absorber sub-assembly, as shown in Figures 11-2 and 11-3 and the main assembly, refer to Figure 11-1. You will use the parts of the motor cycle created in the earlier chapters to create the sub-assemblies and the main assembly of the motor cycle in the Assembly mode. In the Brake sub-assembly, you will restrict the linear motion of the Caliper Piston between 0 to 5.

Introduction to Assembly Mode

An assembly design consists of two or more components assembled together at their respective work positions by using parametric relations. In SOLIDWORKS, these relations are called mates. These mates allow you to constrain the degrees of freedom of the components at their respective work positions. To start the Assembly mode of SOLIDWORKS, invoke the New SOLIDWORKS Document dialog box and then choose the Assembly button, as shown in Figure 11-4 and then OK button to start a new SOLIDWORKS document in the Assembly mode.

Figure 11-4 The New SOLIDWORKS Document dialog box

In SOLIDWORKS, assemblies are created by using two types of design approaches: bottom-up approach and top-down approach. The bottom-up assembly design approach is the traditional and the most widely preferred approach of assembly design. In this assembly design approach, all components are created as separate part documents, and then they are placed and referenced in the assembly as external components. In this type of approach, components are created in the Part mode and saved as the .sldprt documents. After creating and saving all components of the assembly, start a new assembly document (.sldasm) an...
