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

The BOX assembly contains the following key components:

• POWERSUPPLY.

• MOTHERBOARD.

The minimum physical spatial gap between the MOTHERBOARD and the

POWERSUPPL Y is 25mm. The minimum physical spatial gap between the

MOTHERBOARD, POWERSUPPL Y and the internal sheet metal BOX wall is 20mm.

After numerous discussions with the electrical engineer, you standardize on a

POWERSUPPLY size: 150mm x 75mm x 50mm. You know the overall dimensions for

the BOX, POWERSUPPLY and MOTHERBOARD. You also know the dimensional

relationship between these components.

Now you must build these parameters into the design intent of the sketch. There is no

symmetry between the major components. Locate the sketch with respect to the BOX

assembly Origin.
