In this lesson, my Collaborative space is Quick Start xDesign.
#XDESIGN DOWNLOAD WINDOWS#
Note: A Windows model file cannot be directly opened in xDesign. Import the xDesign components: (4Bar Linkage-2 and Long Pin) into your Collaborative space. Apply standard mates (Concentric, Coincident) to address the degrees of freedom DOFs.Īpply the Copy with Mates tool using the Long Pin component to two different locations.Ĭlick xDesign to launch the App or open an existing Dashboard with xDesign as a Widget.Ĭreate a new Physical Product called External References.Ĭlick the 4BAR Linkage-2 to extract the components and follow along. Apply the Insert tool from the Assembly tab. Insert the imported xDesign Long Pin component into the 4Bar Linkage-2 sub-assembly. Utilize the Insert New Component tool from the Assembly tab. This allows movement of the individual components of a sub-assembly within the Parent or Root component.Ĭreate a Pin in the 4Bar Linkage-2 sub-assembly. However, you can make sub-assemblies flexible. Within the Parent component, the sub-assembly acts as a single unit and its components do not move relative to each other. By default, when you create a sub-assembly, it is rigid. Insert the 4Bar Linkage-2 component (sub-assembly).
In xDesign, a Root component is the top-level component. Extract and import the xDesign components: (4Bar Linkage-2 and Long Pin) into your Collaborative space.Ĭreate an assembly called External References.
#XDESIGN DOWNLOAD DOWNLOAD#
In this lesson, download the required xDesign components. In xDesign, the term component is used because both parts and assemblies are treated the same. The Physical Products (components) can be used between many apps on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. XDesign is based on a systems engineering approach (single modeling environment) which is Top-down. The virtual part does not exist outside of the assembly. In the Top-down approach, when you create a part in-context, the part is virtual.
SOLIDWORKS uses both Bottom-up and Top-down design approaches. He also introduces new apps in the engineering design process.Ĭreate assemblies using the Bottom-up design approach, the Top-down design approach, or a combination of both methods. Through the SOLIDWORKS xDesign Lesson series, David helps educators understand the differences and similarities between xDesign and SOLIDWORKS through simple examples. After teaching 1000’s of students and writing about SOLIDWORKS for over 25 years, David Planchard, emeritus WPI, is exploring xDesign.
