MAE 1351 EXAM 2: Questions &
Answers
An assembly cannot be nested inside an existing assembly; only parts can (Ans- False
I bring a part into an assembly in SolidWorks, and click the OK check mark at the top right. This will..(Ans- leave the part in a floating state; align component with the assembly origin
I bring a cube into an assembly and mate-coincident one of its edges to a fixed edge. It now has how many DOF's (Ans- 2
Every part brought/ made in SolidWorks has how many DOF's (Ans- 6
When you apply mates to an object in SolidWorks, what are you technically doing?(Ans- Taking away DOF's each time a mate/constraint is applied
I bring a cube into an assembly and mate coincident one of its vertices to a fixed vertex. It now has how many DOF's (Ans- 3
- / 2
For every mate I apply, I reduce the DOF of the part by these many (Ans- Depends on the mate
I bring a cylinder into an assembly and mate-parallel one of its flat faces to the top of the plane. This causes it to lose these many DOFs (Ans- 3
I bring a cylinder into an assembly and mate-tangent its curved to a curved surface of a fixed identical cylinder. It now has how many DOF's (Ans- 3
The equivalent of mass in a rotational system is called the (Ans- moment of inertia
I have an assembly with moving parts and wish to check that I have part clearances throughout. For this I need.(Ans- Motion Study
In a SolidWorks assembly, it is possible to assign an arbitrary motion to a component to visualize overall behavior (Ans- yes, easily
In a FEA simulation, certain physical values are specified at their edges and nodal points. These are known as (Ans- Boundary conditions
