In-Class Assignment (individual)
: In this Lab, you will model 4 parts, 3 sub-sub-assemblies, and 3 sub-assemblies (due tomorrow). 1.
Download the DaNI_Robot.zip file from BRUINLEARN (Week 2 Module) and unzip it. Inside
this folder are two directories: DaNI_parts and DaNI_sub-assemblies
. Within the sub-
assemblies folder is a file called DaNI_reference.EASM
. This file is in eDrawing
1
format
and shows you what
your final assembly should look like. Your goal (homework due next
week) is to create this assembly. Many of the necessary parts and sub-assemblies are
provided for you (files you extracted from the zip file), but there are several that are missing.
These missing parts and
sub-assemblies are what you will be creating today in class
(individually).
Note: The eDrawing file is large and your computers may struggle with it. Be patient.
Before you begin, transfer the four parts you created in Lab-1 to your DaNI_parts
folder.
2.
First, create the four parts from the engineering drawings provided at the end of this
document:
i.
Motor Spur Gear
(40T)
ii.
Motor Mount
iii.
Motor Hub
(Hub Axle)
iv.
U-Channel-288
(Hint: There is a similar part in the parts folder you can use to adapt.)
Name each parts you create as Lastname_partname.SLDPRT and add them to the DaNI_parts folder, which came with the the DaNI_Robot.zip file. 3.
Open the eDrawing “
DaNI_reference.EASM
” located in the unzipped DaNI_sub-assemblies
folder o review parts, sub-assemblies, and sub-sub-assemblies of the DaNI robot.
Figure 1 shows the eDrawing file, when opened. It has a “Components” icon in the far lower
-
right of the screen. Clicking the Components icon opens a feature tree where all the parts and sub-assemblies are listed. By selecting a sub-
assembly and clicking the “Isolate” icon (bottom right), only that specific sub-assembly will display. Use this as reference for creating your specific sub-sub-assembly (and later your sub-assembly). 1
eDrawing
is free software that lets you view and print eDrawing (eDRW, ePRT, eASM), native SolidWorks documents (sldprt, sldasm, slddrw) , DXF, and DWG format files. It came with your SOLIDWORKS installation package.

SUB-SUB-ASSEMBLIES:
The DaNI assembly is made of sub-assembly and sub-sub-assemblies. For example, locate and
expand the “
Motor Sub-Assembly_Left-1
” which consists of the TETRIX Motor-1
sub-sub-assembly
and several parts. Locate the five listed sub-sub-assemblies (hint use the search box on top):
1.
Middle Gear Hub Sub-Assembly-1
2.
Axle Set Collar Bushing Sub-Assembly-1
3.
Wheel Gear Hub Sub-Assembly-1
Create these three sub-sub-assemblies and save the sub-sub-assemblies as: Lastname_assemblyname.SLDASM
. Example
:
Lastname_Middle_Gear_Hub_Sub-Assembly-1.SLDASM
. Note: you will need both the 80-teeth spur gear that you made last week, and the 40-teeth motor spur gear you made in Step 2 this lab. Before using these gears, rename them as: Lastname_Spur_Gear_0.8M
–
80T
.sldprt
and Lastname_Spur_Gear_0.8M
–
40T
.sldprt
. Once your sub-sub-assemblies are complete, add them to the DaNI_
sub-assemblies folder.

SUB-ASSEMBLIES:
There are three distinct sub-assemblies. Review the DaNI eDrawing to study them. Some
sub-assemblies contain sub-sub-assemblies, which you assembled earlier:
1.
Gear Hub Sub-Assembly_Motor-1
2.
Middle Gear Sub-Assembly-1
4.
Wheel Sub-Assembly-1
When creating your sub-assemblies use your parts (the ones you made last week). For screws and other hardware look in the DaNI_parts folder and sub-folders. Name your sub-assembly as Lastname_assemblyname.SLDASM
. Example of a sub-
assembly name: Lastname_Gear_Hub_Sub-Assembly_Motor-1.SLDASM. A
dd these sub-
assemblies to your
DaNI_sub-assemblies folder. 6.
Once finished with your four parts, three sub-sub-assemblies, and three sub-assemblies, start the
homework (see Week2
_
Homework
_W23.pdf
).
DELIVERABLES When the Grader downloads your SOLIDWORKS assignments from BruinLearn
all submitted files –
of the entire class –
are downloaded together in ONE single folder with no subfolders. This makes grading burdensome and time consuming. Therefore, please upload your assignment in form of a single zip file
: Lastname_InLab-Week-2.zip
Submission Steps: 1.
Zip the four parts that you created in Step 2: (i) U-Channel-288, (ii) Motor Mount, (iii)
Motor Spur Gear
(
4
0T)
, and (iv) Motor Hub
(Hub Axle)
as Lastname_Parts.zip
2.
Zip the three DaNI sub-sub-assemblies (Step 4) as Lastname_SubSub-Assy.zip
3.
Zip the three DaNI sub-assemblies (Step 5) as Lastname_Sub-Assy.zip
Zip the three files (
Lastname_Parts.zip, Lastname_SubSub-Assy.zip,
Lastname_Sub-Assy.zip
) and upload it as Lastname_InLab-Week-2.zip
(to be clear you are uploading one single zip file).
