Questions And Answers 2026
For every mate I apply, I reduce the DOF of the part by these many - correct-answer - Depends
on the mate
I bring a cylinder into an assembly and mate-parallel one of its flat faces to the top of the plane.
This causes it to lose these many DOFs - correct-answer - 3
I bring a cylinder into an assembly and mate-tangent its curved to a curved surface of a fixed
identical cylinder. It now has how many DOF's - correct-answer - 3
The equivalent of mass in a rotational system is called the - correct-answer - moment of inertia

I have an assembly with moving parts and wish to check that I have part clearances throughout.
For this I need. - correct-answer - Motion Study
In a SolidWorks assembly, it is possible to assign an arbitrary motion to a component to
visualize overall behavior - correct-answer - yes, easily
In a FEA simulation, certain physical values are specified at their edges and nodal points. These
are known as - correct-answer - Boundary conditions
In a FEA simulation, certain physical values (displacement, temperature) are specified at their
edges and nodal points. These are known as - correct-answer - They are NOT known as:
Clamping values
Limit values
Differential Equations
Chapter 7 Notes - correct-answer - Chapter 7 Notes

Components - correct-answer - objects that make up a system
Instances - correct-answer - copies of a component within the system
Subassembly - correct-answer - is a grouping of components that serves a single purpose within
the overall assembly;
subassemblies can also be instances. They can also contain other subassembely instances
Associativity - correct-answer - you can change the geometry of a part of a component and all
instances of it will also change by the same amount
Base instance - correct-answer - is a component that remains stationary while the other
instances move around it
Assembly constraints - correct-answer - a constraint between two 3-D instances so that the
instances maintain dimensional or geometric relationships with respect to each other within
the assembly

DOF - correct-answer - degree of freedom; distance along X,Y,Z from the instance origin to the
base component origin
ECHO 360 and Module Quizzes - correct-answer - ECHO 360 and Module Quizzes
An assembly cannot be nested inside an existing assembly; only parts can - correct-answer -
False
I bring a part into an assembly in SolidWorks, and click the OK check mark at the top right. This
will.. - correct-answer - leave the part in a floating state;
align component with the assembly origin
I bring a cube into an assembly and mate-coincident one of its edges to a fixed edge. It now has
how many DOF's - correct-answer - 2
