Choose Extruded Boss/Base the choose the front plane.

Lets model the front face of the upper saddle. Change the units to MMPS so that we can model in millimeters. Right click on the part in feature manager to choose DOCUMENT PROPERTIES. We will NOT need to model this part as we will be able to find this in the Solidworks toolbox This means that it is a standard part that can be purchased anywhere.

Notice that there are no dimensions on the hex nut.

Upon inspection of the design we see we have what is called FOUR CALLS.

Along the way we are going to look at a few new modeling techniques that may come in handy as you use SolidWorks.

For the remainder of this session we are going to create the necessary parts for a simple clamp so that we may then go step by step through the process of creating your first assembly in SolidWorks.

Using the basic mates we can construct most assemblies with static configurations.

Concentric mate – This is used with two cylindrical surfaces to restrain that their respective axes of revolutions must be coincident (example: placing a bolt into a hole).

Tangent mate – Cylindrical Surface-Plane : the plane must be tangent to the circular surface – Cylindrical Surface-Cylindrical Surface : the two cylinders must be tangent to each other.

Perpendicular mate – Line-Plane : the line must be normal to the plane – Plane-Plane : the two planes must be perpindicular to each other.

The next mate is parallel – Line-Line : the two lines must be parallel in 3D space – Plane-Plane : the two planes must be parallel (not the same as coincident).

– Plane-Plane : The planes must be the same –etc….

– Point-Plane : The point must lie on the plane.

– Point-Line : The point must lie on the line.

– Point-Point : They must lie on top of each other.

The first is coincident, which defines coincidence between two entities: Mates There are 5 standard mates that can be used to construct an assembly model.

Before we work in the program, lets first discuss the different types of mates….

Recall that an assembly is a collection of parts that are connected using mates or constraints.

We have now completed the basic features of part modeling and it is now time to begin constructing more complex models in the form of assemblies.
