Week 14 challenge

Assembly Creation:

Assembly creation in NX is a very simple

The method as it allows to preselect the joints and to move the components in the assembly process as per the design intent. Most of the mates used for this assembly are the Aligning of axis and touch mates or joints. Also, align mates. are applied somewhere as per the requirement. Since NX CAD is a parametric CAD software, it allows to change any feature or joints later at any point in time or to update the design with the same changes in the model.

Application of GD&T:

After each part is designed under the application, modeling in NX, the drafting application is chosen to create a drawing for individual parts. After the drawing is created using the required drawing views, proper GD&T is applied as per the requirements of various parts Application of GD&T in NX is a very simple and effective process because it allows applying any kind of Geometric Tolerancing symbols and tolerances with a few clicks. The feature control frame and datums can be applied easily as per the requirement following the standard.

CONCLUSION

The butterfly valve was successfully designed and GD&T was applied to all parts and the assembly of the butterfly valve.
