Construct a subassembly for each equivalence class

 

 

Explanations:

The global assembly (AG) contains 3 classes of kinematic equivalence CE1, CE2 i1 and CE2 i2.

 

CE1, "chassis" class, consists of the "chassis" (immobilized as reference or built by the "Locked" constraint) and 4 instances of the part "self-lubricating pad" (i1, i2, i3 and i4), each being in connection "Attachment" (0 DOF) with the chassis.

 

CE2, "axle" class, consists of a "wheel axle" (reference) and 2 instances of the part "wheel" (i1 and i2), each being in connection "Attachment" (0 DOF) with the wheel axle.

 

In AG, the CE1 class is the reference; CE2 will have 2 instances (i1 and i2), each being linked by "PlaneCoincident" (1 rotating DOF) with CE1.

 


 

 

 

 

 

Review legend

In any case, you must prepare the structure of your future assembly.

 

If we take as simple example the van built in the pages of the help "Create a mechanical part", we have 4 files: wheel_axle, self-lubricating pad, wheel, chassis.

Here is how our assembly will be structured :

 

The principle of creation or construction of a 3D assembly is a repetitive or sequential principle defined by the graph opposite.
