SOLUTIONS || EXPRT VERIFIED
The engineering design process follows the same steps as the scientific discovery process, or scientific
method. True? - Correct Answer No; there are major differences
The term "IPS" in SolidWorks refers to... - Correct Answer measurement units
To create an extrusion, I must first draw a sketch on a surface. True? - Correct Answer Yes, but the
surface must be flat
What are the fundamental types of sketch constraints? - Correct Answer Geometrical and dimensional
To clock a hexagonal feature so that it rests horizontally on one side, I would... - Correct Answer Apply a
horizontal constraint
To create a revolved feature, the profile and the axis of the revolution must be what? - Correct 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 - Correct Answer D) Any of the above will work
I have a distance in my sketch preceded by a "sigma" symbol. This means... - Correct Answer It is a
dimension driven by a parametric formula
Graphical User Interface (GUI) - Correct 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 - Correct Answer The planes
representing the XY-, XZ-, and YZ-planes in a Cartesian coordinate system.
sketches - Correct Answer Collection of 2-D entities
sketching editor - Correct Answer A software tool used to create and
edit sketches.
Profile - Correct Answer A planar sketch that is used to create a solid
Extrusion - Correct 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 - Correct Answer a solid formed when a profile curve is rotated about an axis
Constraints - Correct Answer Geometric relationships, dimensions, or equations that control the size,
shape, and/or orientation of entities in a sketch or solid model
Geometrical Constraints - Correct Answer Definitions used to control the shape of a profile sketch
through geometric relationships
Dimensional Constraints - Correct Answer Measurements used to control the size or position of entities
in a sketch.
Algebraic Constraints - Correct Answer Constraint that define the
value of a selected variable as the result of an algebraic expression containing other variables from the
solid model.
Variational techniques - Correct Answer Modeling techniques in which algebraic expressions or
equations that express relationships between a number of variables and constants, any one of which can
be calculated when all of the others are known.
