Christchurch User Group Quiz - June 2010

1. Christchurch User Group Quiz - June 2010

2. Q1 Which of the following is the appropriate column header for suppressing or resolving ALL instances of the component named ‘part_b’ in an assembly design table? • $SHOW@part_b<all> • $SHOW@part_b<*> • $STATE@part_b<*> • $ STATE @part_b<all>

3. Q2 How do you add a Section View to the new Drawing “View Palette”? • These are already in the View Palette by default, cut along Front, Right, and Top planes • These are added in the drawing, by creating a section view, then dragging the view onto the View Palette • Sections views cannot be added to the View Palette • These are created at the part or assembly level, then saved out as a “Drawing Annotation View”

4. Q3 When using SmartMates, SolidWorks allows you to change the face orientation of the component from Aligned to Anti-Aligned by using the: • Alt key • Ctrl key • Tab key • Shift key

5. Q4 What determines the default order in which components are listed in a bill of materials? • The order in which they are listed in the design table. • The sequence number in the components file properties. • The order in which they appear in the FeatureManager design tree. • The components are listed alphabetically by part name.

6. Q5 A sketch contains a lot of text, extruding the sketch results in some letters being missed. What is the most appropriate workaround? • Reduce the extrusion depth • Increase the font size • Create each word as a separate sketch • Use Dissolve sketch text. Then trip any bad entities in the sketch.

7. Q6 The ->? Symbol following a feature or a component in the Feature Manager design tree means: • The feature or component has an external reference that is out of context • The feature or component has an external reference with a rebuild error • The feature or component is under defined • The feature or component is disjoint

8. Q7 Is it possible to export and copy SolidWorks System Options from one machine to another machine? • Yes, using File, Save System Options • Yes, use Copy Settings Wizard • No, the options can only be set manually • Yes, use Convert Files function in Task Scheduler

9. Q8 What is a “compatible mesh” • A mesh for which shell and solid elements have the same number of degrees of freedom per node • A mesh where elements on touching bodies have overlaying nodes • A mesh where only one type of element (solid or shell is used • None of the above

10. Q9 Which of the following is a type of mate in SolidWorks? • Width mate • Height mate • Length mate • Depth mate

11. Q10 Multi-mate mode (using the multi mate folder) does what? • Allows a user to apply a mate that is commonly used in different assemblies that are open in SolidWorks. • None of these is true. • Allows a user to select a single mate reference for several components and even update or change the mate reference for these components. • Allows a user to create different mate types without closing the mate dialog.

12. Q11 ScanTo3D is an add-in that allows SolidWorks to read in mesh OR point cloud to create solids with a wizard OR semi-manually. • True • False

13. Q12 Which of the following is not a default Solidworks material? • Backlit LCD • Skin • Ripple water • Cosmetic hole pattern • Rusty Steel • Leather

14. Q13 In Utilities, the Simplify feature can ignore features affecting assembly mates. • True • False

15. Q14 Feature statistics can be used to sort features by: • All of these • Feature Order • Time (seconds) • Time (%)

16. Q25 You can specify a different material, for different configurations in a part file. • True • False
