QUESTIONS AND CORRECTLY WELL DEFINED ANSWERS LATEST
ALREADY GRADED A+
The engineering design process follows the same steps as the scientific discovery
process, or scientific method. True? - ANSWER-No; there are major differences
The term "IPS" in SolidWorks refers to... - ANSWER-measurement units
To create an extrusion, I must first draw a sketch on a surface. True? - ANSWER-Yes, but
the surface must be flat
What are the fundamental types of sketch constraints? - ANSWER-Geometrical and
dimensional
To clock a hexagonal feature so that it rests horizontally on one side, I would... -
ANSWER-Apply a horizontal constraint
To create a revolved feature, the profile and the axis of the revolution must be what? -
ANSWER-Coplanar
To create a solid of revolution, I must...
A) Select a plain line from the sketch to use as an axis
B) Make an axis in the sketch using a construction line
C) Use reference geometry to make an axis
D) Any of the above will work - ANSWER-D) Any of the above will work
I have a distance in my sketch preceded by a "sigma" symbol. This means... - ANSWER-It
is a dimension driven by a parametric formula
, Graphical User Interface (GUI) - ANSWER-The format of information on the visual display
of a computer, giving its user control of the input, output, and editing of the information
primary modeling planes, principal viewing planes, or datum planes - ANSWER-The
planes representing the XY-, XZ-, and YZ-planes in a Cartesian coordinate system.
sketches - ANSWER-Collection of 2-D entities
sketching editor - ANSWER-A software tool used to create and
edit sketches.
Profile - ANSWER-A planar sketch that is used to create a solid
Extrusion - ANSWER-A solid that is bounded by the surfaces swept out in space by a
planar profile as it is pulled along a path perpendicular to the plane of the profile
Revolved solid - ANSWER-a solid formed when a profile curve is rotated about an axis
Constraints - ANSWER-Geometric relationships, dimensions, or equations that control
the size, shape, and/or orientation of entities in a sketch or solid model
Geometrical Constraints - ANSWER-Definitions used to control the shape of a profile
sketch through geometric relationships
Dimensional Constraints - ANSWER-Measurements used to control the size or position of
entities in a sketch.
Algebraic Constraints - ANSWER-Constraint that define the
value of a selected variable as the result of an algebraic expression containing other
variables from the solid model.
