ME 24-688 – Week 4Project 1 – Assemblies and Constraints1 Introduction to Assembly DesignThe following section will give an overview of bring individual components into a common environmentand use various tools to assemble them.1.1 Definition of an Assembly ModelYou create an assembly by combining multiple components and/or assemblies into a single environment.Parametric relationships are created between each component that determines component behavior inthe assembly.These relationships can range from simple constraint-based relationships that determine a component'sposition in the assembly, to advanced relationships such as adaptivity. Adaptivity enables a component tochange size based upon its relationship to other components in the assembly.1.2 Assembly ConstraintsYou use assembly constraints to create parametric relationships between parts in the assembly. Just asyou use 2D constraints to control 2D geometry, you use 3D constraints in an assembly to position parts inrelation to other parts. There are four basic assembly constraints, each with unique solutions and options.Mate/Flush ConstraintThe Mate/Flush constraint is used to align part features such as faces, edges, or axis.

ME 24-688 – Week 4Project 1 – Assemblies and ConstraintsAngle ConstraintUsed to specify an angle between two parts. The angle constraint is applied to faces, edges, or axes. Before Angle Constraint After Angle ConstraintTangent ConstraintUsed to define a tangential relationship between two parts. The tangent constraint is generally applied tocircular faces and planar faces. One of the selected faces must be circular. Before Tangent ConstraintME 24-688 – Introduction to CAD/CAE Tools After Tangent ConstraintPage 2 of 34
ME 24-688 – Week 4Project 1 – Assemblies and ConstraintsInsert ConstraintThis constraint is used to insert one component into another. This constraint effectively combines a mateaxis/axis and a mate face/face constraint. Generally the insert constraint is applied to bolts, or pins, orany part that needs to be inserted into a hole on another part. It is applied by selecting a circular edge oneach part.

ME 24-688 – Week 4Project 1 – Assemblies and Constraints2 Robot Arm Assembly2.1 Project 1This project will introduce you to placing and assembling parts in Autodesk Inventor 2012. First you willinsert several parts into a new assembly file using several different workflows. Then, using the 3Dconstraint tools, you will assemble the parts into a completed assembly.1. Create a new part using the Standard (mm).iam template. On the Quick Access toolbar, click New. In the New File dialog box, click the Metric tab.ME 24-688 – Introduction to CAD/CAE ToolsPage 4 of 34
