Advanced Lesson 1

The document outlines exercises for modeling components in SOLIDWORKS using in-context features and top-down assembly modeling. Exercise 1 focuses on creating a flange for the Oil Pan assembly, while Exercise 2 involves creating a Cover Plate component that relates to surrounding parts. Both exercises emphasize the importance of design intent and proper feature alignment within assemblies.

Exercise 1

SOLIDWORKS
In-context Features

Exercise1: In the Oil Pan Assembly, the Pipe


In-context component is already properly
Features positioned. However, there is no
corresponding flange on Oil Pan.
Your task is to model the flange
and holes as in-context features.

This lab reinforces the following


skills:

Adding Features In-context on


page 11

Units: mm

1 Open an assembly file.


Open the assembly Oil Pan Assy from folder InContextFeatures.
2 Edit Component.
Edit the Oil Pan component to add the necessary flange features.
The design intent is as follows:

1. Where the Oil Pan flange meets the Pipe flange the features should
share the same contour.
2. The Oil Pan flange requires 3° of draft.
3. The holes in the Oil Pan for the bolts and pipe are the same
diameter and position as the matching features of the Pipe.
4. The fillet radius is 2mm.

3 Save and close all files.

1 Open an assembly file.


Open the assembly TOP DOWN ASSY from folder Top Down Assy.
2 Insert a New Part component.
Insert a new part component, locating
the Front Plane of the new part at the
face highlighted at the right.

3 In context features.
The design intent for this part is as follows:
1. Cover Plate must update with the inner contour of Main Body.
2. Cover Plate must relate to OD on Ratchet.
3. Cover Plate must relate to OD on Wheel.

Test the in-context features of the
Cover Plate by making changes to
the referenced components in the
assembly.
Rebuild the assembly to see the
changes.
7 Save and close the files.
