Final Project Details

25. ! General Project Requirements:
" SolidWorks model of a mechanical assembly of reasonable
complexity
" Need not be a real or existing object
" Can be anything that you design or conceive
" No particular requirement (or limit) on the number of parts
" Capable of some type of motion
" Different from your midterm project
MECH 200 Graphics II
Final Project Details
! General Project Requirements
" Models must be originally created, except…
# Common parts may be imported from toolbox
o Gears, fasteners, springs, etc…
# Certain components may be imported
o 3D Content Central, Grabcad, Vendor websites, …
o Must be acknowledged
o Must have sufficient complexity in parts that you create
MECH 200 Graphics II
Final Project Details
! Specific Project Requirements - Renderings:
" Renderings of the assembly

26. # Assembled & Exploded states
# Consider assembly features (e.g. cuts) to improve clarity
" Individual renderings of important components
# No need to render bolts, washers, etc…
# Can group minor/similar components in single renderings
# Identify any “outside” components (Toolbox, 3D Content
Central, …)
" Notes
# Goal is a realistic presentation of individual parts and the
assembly
# Use Best Quality for final render
# Perspective view required for assemblies
MECH 200 Graphics II
Final Project Details
! Specific Project Requirements - Animations:
" Show Explode and/or Collapse
" Show parts in motion
" At least one appearance change
" At least one view change
" Requirements can be met in one or more animations
" Rendering of animations is optional
# Covered in a future lecture

# What you’re presenting, why you chose it
" How you modeled it
# Surface modeling
# Top down
# Other techniques?
# …etc.

Final Project Tips
! Mates
" Mates can be created at model tab or inside a motion study
# Called Global or Local respectively
" Local mates can be turned on and off during the study
" May be useful to show operation of your model
" Note
# Red bars indicate an error in the mates
MECH 200 Graphics II
Final Project Tips
! Images
" Final Render of Best is sufficient for project images
# Limited projector resolution to distinguish between Best and
Max
" Renderings should show a “close up” view of features and

29. parts
# Not a small part in the middle of a large background
" Use of 4:3 aspect ratio (1024 x 768) allows rendering to cover
entire
slide
# See sample rendering next slide
MECH 200 Graphics II
Sample Rendering
MECH 200 Graphics II
Final Project Tips
! Animations
" Frame rate should be generally be increased beyond 7.5
frames per
second
# Judgment based on motion, viewpoint, number of gear teeth,
etc.
" 800 x 600 is appropriate size and aspect ratio for PowerPoint
presentations
" Suggest animations fill entire slide
# Requires 4:3 aspect ratio
" Rendering of animations is optional

30. # Greatly increases time to save the animation
# Install PhotoView 360 Add-In, choose PhotoView as renderer
when
saving animation to a file
# Sample rendered animation next slide
MECH 200 Graphics II
MECH 200 Graphics II
Final Project Tips
! Look in SolidWorks Forum or Google to find tricks
" Animating springs and other challenging motions
" Making motors behave
! Don’t spend 90% of your time on 30% of your grade
" Model – 30%
" Renderings – 30%
" Animations – 30%
" Presentation – 10%
! Don’t wait until the last minute to start the renderings and
create the animations
Hello? Didn’t you learn anything from the Midterm Project?
MECH 200 Graphics II

31. Final Project Tips
! Animations in PowerPoint
" Animations can be inserted into PowerPoint in one of two
ways
# Imbedded in presentation
o Insert option in file dialog
o Imbedded in *.pptx file
o Do not need to maintain animation file
# By reference
o Link to File option in file dialog
o Does not imbed file into presentation
o Video file must be maintained along with the PowerPoint file
• Strongly recommend same folder as the *.pptx file
o Only method in pre 2007 versions of PowerPoint
" Suggestion: Test to make sure your animations run in
PowerPoint
# Test in presentation room if possible
MECH 200 Graphics II
Final Project Tips
! Decorum
" All students need to arrive on time and stay for the entire time
" Please give your quiet attention to your classmates as they
present
# You will appreciate the same from them during your
presentation

32. " Talking, texting, use of computer, etc. during the
presentations is not
appropriate behavior
" Please limit your presentation to around five minutes
MECH 200 Graphics II
Final Project Tips
! Potential grade penalties
" Decorum violations
# Discretion of the instructor
" Not submitting the presentation file to Bb Learn by deadline
# Automatic 2 letter grades deduction
" Only submitting the presentation file and not presenting in
person
# Zero grade on the project
! Late work policy
" There is no late work policy
" Students are required to present during their scheduled lab
period
