This tutorial expands on the parts
tutorial. Instead of working with parts, we will be working with
assemblies. We will also consider moving individual parts in
assemblies.
This tutorial will use the toggle press
assembly. You can find this in the togglepress.zip
file.
Start SolidWorks and goto
file->open
Find "press.SLDASM" in the toggle
press folder and click open:
Viewing the
Assembly:
You can zoom and rotate around the
assembly just like you did with a single part using the standard views
, rotation tool, or move and zoom tools. For clarification review working
with parts:
Moving the
Assembly:
Since this is a model of a press, lets
make it press!
Select the move component button
on the assembly toolbar. The cursor will change to and you can now move individual parts. Click on green part
of the model and drag it up or down. You should see the assembly move. You
could also click on the handle and move it up or down to simulate the press in
action.
Another option is to use the rotate
component button on the assembly toolbar. This button is normally reserved
for parts that are mated
concentrically because it is often hard to control. It will work though.
It is up to you to decide which tool is the best to use in each circumstance.
Move component is usually the safe choice though.

Extracting Dimensions From the
Assembly:
If we want to determine where the green press is in
relation to the base we can use the measure tool.
Go to the main file menu and use Tools>Measure.
The cursor will change to a ruler and a dialog box will appear with the
title 'Measure.' Click the base (gray) and then click the green part. The
measure tool will then display the distance betwen the two parts (100.00
mm)
If you move the top base by 50mm and measure again you
will get the new distance (150 mm):
Gautam Gambhir and MS Dhoni's
stellar partnership paved the way for India to end its 28-year wait for
a World Cup title even as Mahela Jayawardene's century and Muttiah
Muralitharan's swansong ended in hurt and despair.
Chasing a target of 275, India were pegged on the back foot as early
as the second ball of their innings when Lasith Malinga trapped Virender Sehwag
plumb in front, and though the Indian opener asked for a referral, it
was upheld. Malinga then struck again in the seventh over when he had
Mumbai's icon Sachin Tendulkar
caught behind in the seventh over. But, the title was sealed when Dhoni
hit the first ball of the 49th over for a massive six to put the icing
on the cake and send a billion people into raptures.
And, to make things even sweeter for India, Yuvraj Singh
was named Man of the Series for his 15 wickets and 362 runs. This win
has also completed the career CV of Tendulkar, who didn't contribute to
the final as much as he may have liked to, but his innings in the
lead-up to the final, not least in the semi-finals against Pakistan, It
was also the perfect send-off for coach Gary Kirsten, who has now ended
his tenure with the Indian team.
Coming back to the loss of those two early wickets, Gambhir and
Kohli got the run chase back on track with a 83-run partnership as the
Delhi boys got India right back into the match taking minimal risks and
milking the Sri Lankan bowling to the fullest. And, even after Kohli
was caught off his own bowling by Dilshan, Dhoni and Gambhir took the
chase forward.
Dhoni has not been in the best of forms with the bat in the World
Cup, but he potentially played the knock of his career in the final as
he remained unbeaten on a 79-ball 91 and shared in a 109-run
partnership with Gambhir as they snuffed the fight out of the Sri
Lankan attack and broke their spirit with each run they made. And, even
though Gambhir was bowled going for a massive hit when on 97, India
wasn't denied to be a win and it was fitting that Dhoni and Yuvraj, who
have shared in so many monumental partnerships were in the middle, when
the mission was finally achieved.
Malinga (2-42) made the early dents, but wasn't able to make any
more inroads in his subsequent overs. But, however, the most telling
blows was felt by the Sri Lankan spinners, Suraj Randiv and
Muralitharan, who bowled 17 overs for 82 runs without taking a wicket;
and that's really where Sri Lanka lost the match and plot.
Earlier, Jayawardene scored his 14th one-day international century
as his unbeaten 103 helped Sri Lanka set India a target of 275 to win
the final of the 2011 World Cup at Mumbai's packed Wankhede Stadium.
Jayawardene was the anchor in Sri Lanka's innings as he scored at
more than a ball without taking too many risks and he also strung
together important partnerships with his skipper Kumar Sangakkara,
Thilan Samaraweera, Nuwan Kulasekara and Thisara Perera to negate the
good work done early in their innings by Indian pace spearhead Zaheer
Khan, who bowled three maiden overs on the trot at the start of the
match.
Sreesanth, who shared the new ball with Zaheer, bowled reasonably
well in his first two overs, but Tillakaratne Dilshan it him for a
couple of boundaries over midwicket and to the midwicket boundary to
break the shackles the left-arm pacer had sprung on the Sri Lankan
opening batsmen. In between, Zaheer had Upul Tharanga caught by Virender Sehwag
at first slip. Tharanga was all at sea against Zaheer and was beaten on
more than one occasion; in fact the Sri Lankan opening batsman was
unable to score a single run off the 18 deliveries he faced of Zaheer
before he was put out of his misery. Zaheer's first spell figures read
5-3-6-1 and he was the main reason Sri Lanka scored only 31 for 1 in
their mandatory power play, their lowest score in this spell of play in
the entire tournament. Zaheer's bowling apart, exceptional fielding by Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina at point and cover point respectively further shackled the Sri Lankan top-order.
Earlier, Sangakkara won the toss and elected to bat. However, there
was some controversy as the toss took place twice as no one including
match referee Jeff Crowe had heard Sangakkara's call first time round.
India made only one change with S Sreesanth
coming in for the injured Ashish Nehra; but Sri Lanka made four changes
as Chamara Kapugedera, Thisara Perera, Suraj Randiv and Nuwan
Kulasekara replaced Chamara Silva, the injured Angelo Mathews, Ajantha
Mendis and Rangana Herath.
Dilshan was kept uncharacteristically quiet thanks to Zaheer and with Munaf Patel
also keeping things tight at the other end it was tough going for the
Sri Lankan opening batsman and Sangakkara. Dilshan did all the hard
work and just when he looked as though he would play yet another big
innings in the 2011 World Cup, he was unfortunate to get a glove as the
ball lobbed back and ht the stumps as he was out for a 49-ball 33.
Dilshan though ended the World Cup on exactly 500 runs, and became only
the fifth batsman to score so many runs in the mega-event after Sachin Tendulkar (twice), Matthew Hayden, Ricky Ponting
and Jayawardene. Sangakkara and Jayawardene then looked untroubled
during their 62-run partnership for the third wicket in just over 11
overs before 'golden arm' Yuvraj Singh had the Sri Lankan captain caught behind by Dhoni for a well-made 48 in 67 balls.
Jayawardene, who continued to look as though he was batting on
another pitch, was in full control even as Samaraweera led a charmed
life in his 34-ball 21 before he was trapped in front by Yuvraj, who
finished the 2011 World Cup with 15 wickets. And, though, Zaheer
dismissed Kapugedera with a slower ball soon after, Jayawardene
continued on his merry ways and was well supported by Kulasekara and
the pair added 66 runs for the sixth wicket in quick time.
Jayawardene got to his half-century off 49 balls and then
accelerated thereafter bringing up his ton off 84 deliveries. Sri Lanka
also took maximum advantage of the batting power play scoring 63 runs
for the loss of only Kulasekara's wicket with Jayawardene getting to
his century in the space of three deliveries in the 48th over bowled by
Zaheer including back-to-back boundaries. Perera then finished the Sri
Lankan innings off in style scoring 16 runs including two boundaries
and a six as he finished unbeaten on 22 off only 9 balls.
Zaheer destroyed all his good work in the batting power play as he
leaked runs and eventually ended with figures of 10-3-60-2, while
Yuvraj (2-49) and Harbhajan (1-50) were amongst the other wicket-takers. Sreesanth (8-0-52-0) disappointed yet again, w
