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

Insert IGES format PEM® self-clinching fasteners.

Use a Pattern Driven Component Pattern to

maintain a relationship between the holes and the

fasteners.

Utilize the Replace Component tool to modify the

05.0mm fastener to an 0 4.0mm fastener.

Create equations to control the sketch and Linear

Pattern feature variables in the BOX assembly.

Insert a Design Table to create BOX assembly

configurations. Insert a sheet metal BRACKET

In-Context of the BOX assembly. PEM

Fasteners
Linear step

Utilize the Mirror Components feature to create a & repeat

right and left hand version of the sketched

pattern
BRACKET.

lnPlace Mates and In-Context

Features

Top-down assembly modeling I

techniques develop InPlace mates. An ,,

InPlace mate is a Coincident mate ,,

between the Front Plane of the new

component and the selected plane or ,,

selected face of the assembly.

The new component is fully 0 0

positioned with an InPlace mate. No

,
additional mates are required. The

component is now dependent on the 0 0

assembly.
