Butterfly Valve - Assembly

As we have completed the Designing and have given the necessary of GDT of each components of the Butterfly Valve we can now assemble them all together. We start of by placing all the components file in one assembly folder where we'll be saving the Assembly.

After adding all the components to the NX workbench, with the help of move component, auto align and touch command we were able to put all the 6 components together. Thus completing the assembly of the Butterfly Valve.

Butterfly Valve- Drafting

We did the drafting on an A0 size sheet with a help of orient tool we were able to project the desired view to apply the datum targets and tolerances.

Necessary Datum targets, Feature control frames, Size and shape tolerances were added to the surface that were of utmost importance. Thus Completing the GD&T of the Butterfly Valve.
