1. (2 points) When do you use a BOM? What does a typical BOM show? BOM stands for BILL OF
MATERIALS. It typically shows a part list which can be altered to have several different types
of information. (Such as parts used, how many, price of each part, etc.) Although most are quite
simple in that they only list the parts seen in the assembly and how many. You would want to use
a BOM when there are several smaller parts that are sometimes hard to see from a macro
perspective such as an assembly with smaller inner working or smaller parts.
2. (10 points) Build the following assembly in Solid Edge. It contains 3 components: base, yoke,
adjusting pin. The dimensions are in millimeters. Create an isometric view of the assembly on
the drawing sheet and dimension the isometric view exactly as shown the figure below.
Additionally, use appropriate texture, a background scene, and appropriate light source to render
the assembly.
Base: The distance between the front face of the base and the front face of the yoke = 60 mm
Yoke: The yoke fits inside the left and right square channels of the base component (no
clearance). The top face of the yoke contains a dia. 12 mm through-all hole.
Adjusting Pin: The bottom face of the adjusting pin head is located 40 mm from the top face
of the yoke component. The adjusting pin component contains a dia. 5 mm through-all hole.
3. (3 points) What is the difference between part modeling and assembly modeling?
Part modeling simply enough is the modeling of individual parts. Whereas assembly
modeling is a combination of parts which are matted together to form an
assembly/subassembly. Both modeling can take place either in a individual part modeling, or
in an assembly modeling through a more or less isolation of the parts.
4. (5 points) Give an example part for which you must use nonlinear sweep to model. Sketch the
part. What is the input (sketch) needed to create the CAD model? Can you use extrusion to create
the model? Why or why not? An extrusion here would not work, the idea is that the circle is
going to follow the path set by the lines made. Although you could extrude the circle, it would
not follow the path that we would want it to take, when extruding it can only be extruded in
one/two directions symmetrically. Although when using the sweep command, you can force a
shape/object to follow almost any path you can design.
