Tutorial Lesson 2 - Connection Joints

** In this exercise, you will create the above Engine mechanism assembly. This assembly contains

multiple components with multiple joint connections. To begin, you will need to create a new assembly

and assemble the Block_Bottom part. **

FILE Menu: #New, #Assembly, , #OK INSERT Menu: #Component, #Assemble OPEN Dialog Box: Name: , #Open Make sure Coordinate systems are turned on

DASHBOARD: #Placement, Constraint Type: #Coord Sys, (CSO), (ASM_DEF_CSYS),#Green Check

** The next component to be assembled is the Crank Shaft. Since the Block_Bottom is our ground, the

remaining components in this assembly will have joint connections. The Crank Shaft will utilize a Pin

connection with the Block_Bottom. **

INSERT Menu: #Component, #Assemble

OPEN Dialog Box: Name: , #Open DASHBOARD: Constraints Pull Down: #Pin, #Placement, (Select Axis A-1 of Crank_Shaft),

(Select Axis A-1 of Block_Bottom), (Select DTM5 of Crank_Shaft), (Select DTM3 of

Block_Bottom), #Green Check

** The following 2 images display the proper references for the Pin joint creation: **

** Once completed, the Crank_Shaft will only be allowed to rotate about Axis A-1. Your assembly should

look like the following image. **

** The next component to assemble is the Connecting Rod. This component will also use a Pin joint. **

INSERT Menu: #Component, #Assemble OPEN Dialog Box: Name: , #Open DASHBOARD: Constraints Pull Down: #Pin, #Placement, (Select Axis A-16 of

connecting_rod), (Select Axis A-3 of Crank_Shaft), (Select FRONT Datum of

connecting_rod), (Select DTM5 of Crank_Shaft), #Green Check

** The following 2 images display the proper references for the Pin joint creation: **
