ECHO 360 and Module Quizzes - ANS ECHO 360 and Module Quizzes
An assembly cannot be nested inside an existing assembly; only parts can - ANS False
I bring a part into an assembly in SolidWorks, and click the OK check mark at the top right. This
will.. - ANS 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 - ANS 2
Every part brought/ made in SolidWorks has how many DOF's - ANS 6
When you apply mates to an object in SolidWorks, what are you technically doing? -
ANS 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 - ANS 3
For every mate I apply, I reduce the DOF of the part by these many - ANS 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 - ANS 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 - ANS 3
The equivalent of mass in a rotational system is called the - ANS moment of inertia
I have an assembly with moving parts and wish to check that I have part clearances throughout.
For this I need. - ANS Motion Study
In a SolidWorks assembly, it is possible to assign an arbitrary motion to a component to
visualize overall behavior - ANS yes, easily
In a FEA simulation, certain physical values are specified at their edges and nodal points. These
are known as - ANS Boundary conditions
In a FEA simulation, certain physical values (displacement, temperature) are specified at their
edges and nodal points. These are known as - ANS They are NOT known as:
Clamping values
Limit values
Differential Equations
Chapter 7 Notes - ANS Chapter 7 Notes
Components - ANS objects that make up a system
Instances - ANS copies of a component within the system
