Would you like to know your level on SOLIDWORKS ? In 5 minutes, do the knowledge tests on SOLIDWORKS and its different products : basic, sheet metal, simulation, welded constructions...
Congratulations, you all got very good grades! @gwygwy 20/20 on the basic test bravo!
@Pierre S, @gwygwy, thank you for your feedback and recommendations; @gwygwy can you tell me on which test(s) the written questions were difficult to understand so that we can improve them?
I thank you and congratulate you again on these great results, there is a high level! :)
- with a mistake of inattention on the oblong contour the 220 dimension that was present (bam! a bath)
- error on automatic bubble (I must say that I hardly have time to jam the bubble)
On the other hand, I didn't understand why he puts a bubble on me: "How many degrees of freedom do we have to block on a part for it to be fixed in space?"" For me, who very often fixes by planes rather than surfaces, the answer is: "3 DDL" the minimum being two, one axial stress and two edges
I didn't understand why he banished me on the last question "By what types of functions can the next part be obtained?" I who very often make the radii in the sketch rather than with the Radius/chamfer function, we can very well make the part with a single revolution and four holes for the flanges.
9/19 Advanced Assemblies It's not surprising because I only use ultra standard constraints (no config), I don't use functions that work badly or that are badly done.
@Zozo_mp: A body (one part) has six degrees of freedom (DDL) in space (three translations according to x, y & z as well as three rotations "around" x, y and z); So you have to block all six for a piece to be fixed. You are confusing constraints with degrees of freedom. A plane support constraint, for example, can block one translation (vector normal to planes) and two rotations ("around" the two remaining vectors of the reference frame); i.e. three DDLs. If we put aside the "fixed" constraint that alone blocks 6 DDLs, the minimum constraints needed to block 6 DDLs is indeed two.
Thank you for taking the time to explain effectively, I understand better the possible ambiguity. As I use planes almost all the time (more and more often) to put constraints, it absolves me of degrees of freedom.
Hello
I did 3 tests:
Base:20/20
Sheet metal: 11/20
Mechanically welded: 17/20
and as @FUZ3D
It's like the highway code, it's on multiple choices that we get fooled:p
And for me, written answers are difficult to understand, it's hard to verbalize icons and my design automatisms.
Good luck to you.
