Bolts vs. screws Main article:  Screw § Differentiation between bolt and screw Bolted joint  in vertical section Screw joint    The distinction between a bolt and a screw is commonly misunderstood. There are several practical differences, but most have some degree of overlap between bolts and screws.     The defining distinction, per  Machinery's Handbook , [2]  is in their intended purpose: Bolts are for the assembly of two unthreaded components, with the aid of a  nut . Screws in contrast are used with components, at least one of which contains its own internal thread, which even may be formed by the installation of the screw itself. Many threaded fasteners can be described as  either  screws or bolts, depending on how they are used.     Bolts are often used to make a  bolted joint . This is a combination of the nut applying an axial clamping force and also the shank of the bolt acting...

SHEET METAL     Sheet metal  is  metal  formed by an industrial process into thin, flat pieces. It is one of the fundamental forms used in  metalworking  and it can be cut and bent into a variety of shapes. Countless everyday objects are fabricated from sheet metal. Thicknesses can vary significantly; extremely thin thicknesses are considered  foil  or  leaf , and pieces thicker than 6 mm (0.25 in) are considered  plate .     Sheet metal is available in flat pieces or coiled strips. The coils are formed by running a continuous sheet of metal through a  roll slitter .     In most of the world, sheet metal thickness is consistently specified in millimeters. In the US, the thickness of sheet metal is commonly specified by a traditional, non-linear measure known as its  gauge . The larger the gauge number, the thinner the metal. Commonly used steel sheet metal ranges from 30 gauge to about ...

CONFIGURATION     we can control the 3D model using microsoft excel, we can create system where we just enter size parameter in microsoft excel then the model change following the size entered. Solidworks have some methods,     I will try to use add configuration method to control my 3D model. First time you must have a part of 3D model. STEP of configuration so many step of configuration, bbut i create a simple video to discribe this step. you can clik the link below. click this link to practice  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNqptoREbms  

USER INTERFACE Tampilan muka atau user interface perlu diketahui oleh para drafter agar memudahkan para drafter dalam membuat suatu design, perhatikan gambar untuk memudahkan saudara memahami user interface pada software autodesk inventor. User interface Autodesk Inventor bisa kita lihat pada gambar  1   . Ribbon toolbar, berisikan perintah yang digambarkan dalam bentuk icon-icon kecil yang dapat membantu para drafter dalam menganalisa dan membuat design 2   . View cube, diguakan untuk menampilkan view sesuai dengan yanng drafter inginkan supaya lebih enak dalam membuat design (tampak atas, depan, bawah, kanan, kiri ataupun tampak home) 3   . Graphic windows, digunakan untuk melihat proses membuat sketch, membuat 3D, membuat analisis dan gambar kerja yang dibuat 4  . Object History, digunakan untuk melihat urutan proses pembuatan design yang nantinya memudahkan para drafter untuk mengedit ataupun mengavaluasi model yang mereka buat. 5 ...

Autodesk Inventor    Autodesk salah satu produk dari Autodesk Corp. yang di peruntukkan untuk engineering design dan drawing . Autodesk Inventor merupakan produk dari CAD setelah Autocad dan Autodesk Mechanical Desktop.      Autodesk Inventor memiliki beberapa kelebihan dari Pada Autocad sehingga memudahkan Drafter dalam design  serta tampilan yang lebih menarik dan real . Keunggulan Autodesk Inventor adalah : 1. Memiliki kemampuan Parametic Solid Modeling , yaitu kemampuan untuk melakukan  design serta pengeditan dalam bentuk solid model dengan data yang telah tersimpan dalam data base. Dengan adannya kemampuan tersebut drafter/engineer dapat merevisi atau memodivikasi design yang ada tampa harus mendesign ulang sebagian atau seluruhnya . 2. Memiliki kemampuan Animation , yaitu kemampuan untuk menganimasikan suatu file assembly mengenai jalannya suatu alat yang telah di assembly dan dapat disimpan dalam file AVI. 3. Memiliki kemampuan ...

Solidworks tricks for beginner       Solidworks can build everything 3D model, you can learn trick step by step following my video to create 3D model wich you want. First time you must know about projection of drawing to create engineering drawing. Multiple views and projections Image of a part represented in  first-angle projection Symbols used to define whether a projection is either  first-angle  (left) or  third-angle  (right). Several types of graphical projection compared Various projections and how they are produced Isometric view of the object shown in the engineering drawing  below .       In most cases, a single view is not sufficient to show all necessary features, and several views are used. Types of  views  include the following: Multiview projection       A  multiview projection  is a type of  orthographic projectio...

Solidworks (CAD computer program)        In this era solidworks is very popular CAD software. SolidWorks is a solid modeler, and utilizes a parametric feature-based approach to create models and assemblies. The software is written on Parasolid-kernel.  Solidworks History       SolidWorks Corporation was founded in December 1993 by  Massachusetts Institute of Technology  graduate  Jon Hirschtick . Initially based in  Waltham ,  Massachusetts , United States, Hirschtick recruited a team of engineers with the goal of building 3D CAD software that was easy-to-use, affordable, and available on the Windows desktop. Operating later from  Concord, Massachusetts , SolidWorks released its first product  SolidWorks 95 , in November 1995. [5] [6]  In 1997 Dassault, best known for its  CATIA  CAD software, acquired SolidWorks for $310 million in stock. [5]  Jon Hirschtick staye...
