V-Block Assembly : Week 4 Challenge

BODY: -

• The main body was divided into two parts i.e Lower Body and Upper Body. Each of them was made separately and then added using boolean ADD.
• First, the Lower body was made by drawing its base sketch and then padded it.
• Then on its top surface, an elongated hole was drawn and then used pocket command.
• Then 'V' cut was made from the side view.
• Now the upper body was made by drawing its sketch on the perpendicular plane to the lower body's base sketch plane.
• Then padded it up with dimension = 50cm.
• Now add them by using the boolean command.
• Now two cylindrical holes were made.

U-Clamp: -

• The front view sketch was made with the required dimensions and then padded.
• Now Hole was made on the top face.
• A helix sketch was drawn to make thread cut using helix command in Generative shape design workbench.
• The profile was drawn on a normal plane to helix curve and then used slot command to sweep cut.

Fastener: -

• The top cylinder was made first then on the bottom surface another cylinder was made.
• Chamfered at the required positions.
• Similar to the process in U-Clamp, a Helix sketch was made along with a profile sketch. Then used Rib command to sweep boss.

Assembly: -

• The U-Clamp was first assembled with Body(fixed) by using Coincidence and surface contact constraints.
• Then fastener was assembled by applying coincidence and offset constraints with U-Clamp.
