ECHO 360 and Module Quizzes - ANSWER-ECHO 360 and Module Quizzes An assembly cannot be nested inside an existing assembly; only parts can - ANSWER-False I bring a part into an assembly in SolidWorks, and click the OK check mark at the top right. This will.. - 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 - ANSWER-2 Every part brought/ made in SolidWorks has how many DOF's - ANSWER-6 When you apply mates to an object in SolidWorks, what are you technically doing? - ANSWER-Taking away DOF's each time a mate/constraint is applied I bring a cube into an assembly and mate coincident one of its vertices to a fixed vertex. It now has how many DOF's - ANSWER-3 For every mate I apply, I reduce the DOF of the part by these many - 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 - 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 - ANSWER-3 The equivalent of mass in a rotational system is called the - 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. - ANSWER-Motion Study In a SolidWorks assembly, it is possible to assign an arbitrary motion to a component to visualize overall behavior - ANSWER-yes, easily In a FEA simulation, certain physical values are specified at their edges and nodal points. These are known as - ANSWER-Boundary conditions
