Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS® 2018 Top-Down and Sheet Metal Parts

Project 7 - Top-Do Assembly Modeling and Sheet Metal Parts

Project Objective

Create three BOX configurations utilizing the Top-down assembly approach. The Top-

down approach is a conceptual approach used to develop products from within the

assembly. Major design requirements are translated into sub-assemblies or individual

components and key relationships.

Model Sheet metal components in their 30 formed state. Manufacture the Sheet metal

components in a flatten state. Control the formed state and flatten state through

configurations.

Create the parameters and equations utilized to control the configurations in a Design

Table.

On the completion of this project, you will be able to:

• Set Document Properties and System Options.

• Create a new Top-down assembly and Layout sketch.

• Choose the proper Sketch plane.

• Insert Sheet Metal bends to transform a solid part into a sheet metal part.

• Use the Linear Pattern feature to create holes.

• Insert IGES format PEM® self-clinching fasteners.

• Use the Component Pattern feature to maintain a relationship between the holes and

the fasteners.

• Create Global Variables.

• Create and Edit Equations.

• Insert a Sheet Metal Library feature and Forming tool feature.

• Address and understand general sheet metal manufacturing considerations.

• Insert Geometric relations.
