Radial Engine Assembly

In this exercise you will create the Radial Engine assembly shown in below Figure.

 The Radial Engine assembly will be created in two parts, one will be the sub assembly and the other will be the main assembly. The dimensions of the components of the Radial Engine assembly are shown in below  Figures 

Synchronous modeling: Move Face

Move face is an option to move the faces of the particular component to certain limit as per the requirement.
Basically this option is useful when you have parametric models and just to show 3 models to somebody like 3rd party without editing the main features of the component.

The above image shows how to open Synchronous modeling.
Let us explore the first option in this tool
MOVE FACE:

>Select the face which you want to move.

>You have so many options to move the face like

Distance,

Angle,

Point to Point etc.

>You can choose any one option as per the convenience .

(Here I shown with distance)

You  can see an option called FACE FINDER in the above tool .

There are three options in that.

Results,Settings,Reference.

in Settings,You can set the options as per requirement.

Reference is the option to call the component to particular location.

Assembly Load Option

To define how and where NX load part file, we need to configure some basic function like, save, open and assembly.
Dialog box will appear, like the below picture, from the dialog box here we can set up load the file first time as may be required, it is easier for us in working with Unigraphic later.

 1. Part version
You can set whether each time to load a new file or open a file starting from the folder, or history. UGS default is the folder.

2. scope
You can choose all the components directly on the load time, or just based on the stored data, or other options, are generally used are all components (including part assembly).

3.Reference Sets
You can call the components as per the reference set created while modeling.

4. Save Load option
Save to file, serve to redirect the folder to load the first time, after the set, every time you open a new file, the folder will be automatically redirected to it.
So is the open from the file, after we set the folder, each time it opens the file it will automatically be redirected to a folder that was set.

Offset Face

Go to Insert-->offset/Scale-->Offset Face

Its a simple command for extending the faces of particular component without going and modifying the sketch.

A face of the block is extended upto 10mm using offset Face command
