ConstraintsTwo different types of constraints:
1. Geometric• Constraining geometry based
on normal orientations or relative to other parts of the geometry
2. Dimensional• Numerical values that
constrain the size and location of geometry

Geometric Constraints2 OptionsConstraints relative to the normal conventions for direction. Examples: vertical, horizontal
Constraints relative to other sketch entities. Examples: perpendicular, parallel

Advanced Geometric Constraints• Accurate Models
• Tangent Constraints • Arcs or Circles
• Equality Constraints • Equal sizes
• Concentric constraints• Align Center Points
![Page 7: Constraint Based Modeling Geometric and Dimensional ENGR 1182 SolidWorks 03.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dce7d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Automatic Constraints
While sketching SolidWorks will
automatically guess at the constraints that the
user impliesDotted lines show
alignment and icons show the constraints applied
Unwanted constraints can be selected (left click)
and deleted (delete key)
![Page 8: Constraint Based Modeling Geometric and Dimensional ENGR 1182 SolidWorks 03.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dce7d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SolidWorks: Selecting
Lines or points can be selected by holding Ctrl and left clicking
on each
At the left of the screen relations can
be added by selecting the appropriate icon
The lines will snap to the applied constraint and icons will display
the current constraints
![Page 9: Constraint Based Modeling Geometric and Dimensional ENGR 1182 SolidWorks 03.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dce7d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
How Could We Create This?(with uniform thickness and aligned?)
![Page 10: Constraint Based Modeling Geometric and Dimensional ENGR 1182 SolidWorks 03.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dce7d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
SolidWorks: Applying Constraints
Step 1: Horizontal
and Vertical Constraints
Original Shape
Step 2: Make Slants Parallel
This edge can be
selected and moved
manually
![Page 11: Constraint Based Modeling Geometric and Dimensional ENGR 1182 SolidWorks 03.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dce7d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SolidWorks: Applying Constraints
This profile is not fully constrained but the shape is generally
constrained by using only Geometric
ConstraintsStep 3: Equality Constraints on
all similar members
![Page 12: Constraint Based Modeling Geometric and Dimensional ENGR 1182 SolidWorks 03.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dce7d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Geometric Constraints Wrap UpRelationships: Vertical Horizontal Parallel Perpendicular Equal Coincident
Circular Relationships: Tangent Concentric
Homework Assignment SW03-OUT:

Dimensional Constraints
• Linear Dimensions• Radial Dimensions• Angular Dimensions
![Page 16: Constraint Based Modeling Geometric and Dimensional ENGR 1182 SolidWorks 03.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dce7d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Once constrained with geometric constraints how do we make this accurate?
![Page 17: Constraint Based Modeling Geometric and Dimensional ENGR 1182 SolidWorks 03.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dce7d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Design Strategy
Effective robust designs starts with
shape and geometry
constraints, and then dimensional constraints are
added
![Page 18: Constraint Based Modeling Geometric and Dimensional ENGR 1182 SolidWorks 03.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dce7d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Algebraic Constraints• Simple Algebraic
Expressions• i.e.(type) =
20/3
• Related to Other Dimensions
• Driving vs. Driven
Is D5 Driving
or Driven?
![Page 19: Constraint Based Modeling Geometric and Dimensional ENGR 1182 SolidWorks 03.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dce7d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
SolidWorks: Dimensions
Dimensional Constraints can be added using the Smart Dimension Button
1. Click on the entity2. Move cursor off object3. Click once more to
place dimension
When Constraints are applied the following dialog box will appear displaying• Dimension Name• Editable Dimension
Value• Options (direction,
etc.)
![Page 20: Constraint Based Modeling Geometric and Dimensional ENGR 1182 SolidWorks 03.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dce7d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
SolidWorks: Dimension Options
Or even 2 points as long as the correct direction is
chosen ( the Smart Dimension tool shows
options when moving the mouse)
Dimensions can be added between 2 lines by selecting the lines
sequentially
Between a point and a line
![Page 21: Constraint Based Modeling Geometric and Dimensional ENGR 1182 SolidWorks 03.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dce7d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
SolidWorks: Circles and Arcs
Circles or Arcs can be dimensioned by the
diameter (Ø) or radius (R)
A circle can be located by its center point by
constraining both the x and y directions
![Page 22: Constraint Based Modeling Geometric and Dimensional ENGR 1182 SolidWorks 03.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dce7d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
SolidWorks: Angular Dimensions
Angular Constraints can be added by clicking one line and then the other line. SolidWorks
will automatically assume angular constraint.
![Page 23: Constraint Based Modeling Geometric and Dimensional ENGR 1182 SolidWorks 03.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dce7d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
SolidWorks: Algebraic Constraints
Constraints can be added in the form of equations by:1. Entering “=“2. Entering a
value or by left clicking on a dimension
3. Using operations +, -, *, /
![Page 24: Constraint Based Modeling Geometric and Dimensional ENGR 1182 SolidWorks 03.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dce7d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

In-Class Activity
Open the seed file in the course drive. Adjust the shape using geometric
constraints and then add dimensional constraints
to finalize the model.

Important Takeaways
Using different geometric constraints to constrain geometry based on normal orientations or relative to other parts of the geometry.
Using dimensional constraints to constrain the size and location of geometry.
Algebraic dimensions create relations between dimensions.
