DIAGRAM PARTS WITH DIMENSIONS (UNIVERSAL JOINT)

WORKING STEPS

AIM 

To create the universal coupling assembly as a 3D solid model using CATIA V5 software

HARDWARE REQUIRED 

1. CPU with pentium IV processor. 

2. A colour monitor with highest 32 bit colour display and with screen resolution 1024 by 768 pixels. 

3. A scroll mouse.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED 

1. Windows XP End  Windows 7 operating system 

2. CATIA V5

PROCEDURE 

1. Identify various parts to be created. 

2. First enter into part environment and create the main part and create the main part of the assembly. 

3. First identify whether the main part or the first to be created by pad or by revolution. 

4. Select the sketch tool and then select the coincidental plane option and select any one of the standard 3 planes (i.e. front, right &top). 

5. Create the cross-section profile as a closed one using the 2D commands available after completing the sketch, click open or return button and then click finish button.

 6. For creating other parts, select sketch, then select the required plane. 

7. Construct the full cross section for portion and construct the half of the cross section and an axis line for revolution. 

8. Do the protrusions by using protrusion command and the revolution by revolved protrusion command. 

9. For constructing holes and cutout, used hole command and cutout command. 

10. If we use hole command, change the diameter of the hole by using modify menu, resize hole option. 

11. Use revolved cutout command whenever needed. 

12. Use the distance between option to maintain accurate distance between one edge and other edge or between one edge and to center the hole. 

13. After constructing each part save it as a separate part file. 

14. Enter into assembly environment. 

15. Assembly the various parts construct parts construct using the various assembly constrains available 

16. After finishing assembly, check whether the various parts have been connected properly or not by rotating the view. 

17. Save the assembly as a file.

RESULT 

Thus the 3D assembly of the universal coupling has been created on the software CATIA V5 with accurate dimension and with all respects.
