Tank Assembly
In this report, we model a tank by using simple features of solidworks software. The
main purpose of this assignment is to get awareness with simple feature of
solidworks. For this we have chosen a tank with the approval of instructor.
For this purpose, we model four different parts and then assemble it in solidworks
assembly.
The method of modeling of parts are shown blow:
Body
The first part which we
body of tank. For this just
sketch the body and then
extrude it.
model is the
Then made a
sketch on the side
view and use
extrude cut to
make the inclined
on the side of
body.
The next we are using a mirror command this command is use to make same
feature on the other side of a plane or the surface this is a very powerful feature of
solidworks. It made easy for making the parts on the other side of the plane which
are having same distances from the surfaces. Here we use this mirror command for
all the features which are similar on the other side. Such as axils of wheels, side
mirrors and head lights, indicator lights and the wheel covers.
Here we can see in the following pictures what mirror did with model.
Wheel
Here we are using the revolve command for
modeling the wheel and for using the revolve
command we need am axis along which the
sketch will produce the material. In case of
revolve cut the material will be removed from
the part.

Assembly
The assembly file is opened first, and then insert components in the
assembly.
After getting the parts in the assembly all we have to do is just mating. There are
several types of mates in the solidworks library. But which we discuss is just
concentric and coincident mate.
Concentric mate:
It is the type of mate in which two cylinders or two circles are
with the common axis or common point respectively.
Coincident mate:
It is a type of mate in which any of line, point, face and circle
can be fixed at the single place it.
Just by using these two mates we have fixed all our assembly as it is not
complicated. And dont have any of critical motion in it.
All the mates between the axils of wheel gun housing and gun are shown in the
picture shown here.

Conclusion:
In this assignment, we have learnt that how to optimize the 3D object to model and
we go through many of simple features of solidworks such as extrude boss/cut
revolve boss/cut and circular and linear pattern in sketches as well as in features.
And assembly feature such as matting etc.
