name 3 types of mates
Fasten = fixed in one position
Revolute = rotate around one point
Slider = move along axis or line
Planer = rotational and axial movement (not as common)
Cylindrical = 2 degrees of freedom revolute / slider mate
Ball = 3 axis rotation, no translational movement
Parallel = to floor and free rotation about axis
Define "Assembly"
Collection of parts
Positions and establishes movement between parts,
Can include “subassemblies” for easier grouping
m

how many hearts does an octopus have?

Two hearts work exclusively to move blood beyond the octopus’ gills, while the third keeps circulation flowing for organ perfusion
What is a good practice to apply to your first part in an assembly?
“Fixing” one part in place relative to the origin is good practice as it allows other parts to be added without moving the entire assembly
this tool moves parts in an assembly by highlighting
-planes: translate along planes
-arrows: translate along axis
-dots: rotate about centre and an axis
TRIAD
shift + y
show part
what is currently the fastest car in the world?
Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, which recorded a staggering 330 mph top speed earlier in 2023
how can you restrict the movement of a mate?
add limits
"blank" are used to create Mates.
blue= z-axis
red= x-axis
green= y-axis
Mate Connectors
h
hide/show mate
What word begins with E and ends with E, but only has one letter?
