PART DESIGN & ASSEMBLY (KNUCKLE JOINT)

From this diagram we have to know,

 Selection of plane
 Sketching the line and circle
 Constrain the dimension
 Symmetricity
 Mirror line object
 Trim the profile
 Exit work bench
 Pad the profile
 Pocket
 Project element
 Edge fillet
 Views
 Pan
 Zoom fit
 Existing component insert
 Explode
 Manipulation
 Snap
 Assembly tools

CATIA v5 software is used to modeling this object.

 WORKING STEPS
AIM
To create the knuckle joint 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 operating system
2. CATIA V5

WORKING STEP:

 Log on the system.

 Open the 3d modeling cad software
 Create the new part.
 Generate the switches using entities and tool like circle,trim,move,etc..
 Edit the entities if necessary.
 Using the features like pad,fillet,mirror,revolve,etc..
 Save the part.
 Similarly open a new part and complete the second part and save it.
 Similarly all parts are created and save.
 Open the assembly part then open the all parts one by one.
 Assemble the parts by using the tools..
 Edit and save if necessary.
 Exit the CAD software.
 Log off the system.

RESULT

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