    The document describes creating an assembly in Creo using a bottom-up approach. It involves: 1) Creating individual parts like a Base, Central Pin, and Side Pin using features like extrude and revolve. 2) Assembling the parts by selecting appropriate constraints like coincident, inserting the Central Pin onto the Base using two coincident constraints, and inserting multiple Side Pins onto the Base using the repeat function. 3) The final assembly is created by placing all the components in the correct positions and orientations using different constraints.

    3 Use of CAD software to create assembly of components (Assembly Modeling)

    3.1 Aim: Create Assembly Using Bottom-Up Approach using professional CAD software

    3.2 Introduction:
    Assembly modeling is the process of collecting different parts and defining relationship
    between parts. It is an extension of part modeling process. In other words an assembly is a
    collection of different parts and subassemblies to form a system. In CREO this is done using
    Assembly module. CREO is having bi-directional associatively, therefore if any part dimension
    is modified in the Part mode; same will be reflected in assembly mode and vice versa. CREO's
    assembly module allows parts to be grouped into assemblies or subassemblies to model a
    complete part or mechanism. Once assembly modeling is done, it can be used to generate
    assembly drawings, create Bill of Material (BOM) automatically, check the interference between
    matting component, tolerance stack analysis, to create animations etc.
    The step by step procedure of assembly modeling is given below-

    1. Create a new folder with appropriate name and set default directory

    2. Create all the components using consistant unit system and save them
    in the set default folder

    3. Create new assembly file using consistant unit system and save them in
    the set default folder

    4. If you have a complex assembly, decide number of sub-assemblies


    and then do a final assembly of the sub-assemblies. Also decide
    sequence of assembling of parts.

    5. Call first key part (a part which can accommodate


    most of the other parts) in the Assembly environment

    6. Drag a component into approximate position in 3-D space and


    assemble first component with a Default constraint ( a part CYS and
    assembly CYS coincides).

    7. Call second part in the Assembly environment and constrain all 6 DOF
    by selecting pairs of references from component and assembly and using
    appropriate constraints. Go on adding a new constraints unless and until a
    message “Fully Constraints” is displayed.

    8. Repeat above procedure ( 7 ) for assembling remaining all parts one by one
    using appropriate constraints.
    3.3 Procedure:
    Following Tutorial will explain the above assembly procedure.

    1. Create a new folder FirstAssembly in D:/CreoAssembly directory and set default


    directory (File > Manage Sessions > Working Directory)
    2. Create following Base, Central_Pin, Side_Pin parts in mmns unit system.

    Create Base part using Extrude feature

    Create Central_pin part using Revolve and Extrude Cut feature

    Sketch and Revolve Sketch circles and Extrude Central_pin part is created
    through 360 degree. cut.

    Create Side_pin part using Revolve and Extrude Cut feature


    Side_pin part is created
    Sketch circles and
    Sketch and Revolve through 360 Extrude cut.
    degree.

    3. Create new assembly file : in mmns unit system (File > New > Assembly ) [name the
    assembly " FirstAssembly.asm "] > OK. A set of default datum assembly planes will
    appear. If the screen is blank, turn on viewing of the datum planes in the Graphic
    Toolbar.
    4. Bring the Base.prt part into the assembly

    a. Select the Assemble tool from the Model toolbar (Model > Component >
    Assemble ). In the resulting dialog box, open the Base.prt part. The block will appear in
    the assembly window and the Component Placement dashboard will open at the top.

    b. The constraint type drop down menu is Automatic. Change to Default. Now the
    STATUS is Fully Constrained because the Part CYS has been constrained to the
    Assembly CYS .

    c. At the far right of the Component Placement dashboard, click onthe , which says you
    are done with the first part. Ctrl+D to bring the assembly into default view and turn off
    the datum planes

    5. Bring the Centrail-Pin.prt into the assembly


    a. Select the Assemble tool again and this time open the Central-Pin .prt part from
    the dialog box. The Central-Pin will appear in the assembly window waiting to be
    constrained to the Base.prt part.

    b. If you don't like where the pin is located before assembly, it can be moved. This type of
    move is purely for the convenience of the user and has nothing to do with how the parts
    are constrained in the assembly. From the dashboard, select Move, then select Translate
    in the Motion Type drop-down box. Click LMB on the Central-Pin move the mouse to
    move the pin. Again click LMB to fix the pin in the new location. After moving, click
    Move again to close the motion box.

    Another way to move is to click and drag the colored coordinate frame arrows attached to
    the part.

    c. The Central-Pin will be constraint to the Base part with two constraints, Insert and Mate
    coincide.

    Constraint no.1: In the dashboard, select Coincident from the constraint type drop down
    menu, select round surface of both parts as Component and Assembly item. The surface
    will turn red with a Coincident callout. Finally click Done button.This constraints 4 DOF
    and status will be displayed as “Partially Constrained”.
    Constraint no.2: Click New Constraint and select Coincident from the constraint type
    drop down menu. Select bottom surface of Pin as Component item and top surface of
    base as Assembly item. The surface will turn red with a Coincident callout. Finally click
    Done button.This constraints 2 DOF and status will be displayed as “Fully Constrained”

    Constraint no.3: Eventhough status is displayed as “Fully Constrained”, sometime we


    need to add more constraints to placet part in proper orientation. Here if flat surface of
    pin is to be inclined 45 degree with one of vertical surface of base part. Click New
    Constraint and keep Automatic as the constraint type. Select flat surface of pin as
    Component item and vertical surface of base as Assembly item. Enter 45 degree as Offset
    value and click Done button.

    6. Assemble the Side-Pin.prt into the assembly

    a. Select the Assemble tool again and this time open the Side-Pin .prt part from the
    dialog box.
    b. Similar to above step, the Side-Pin will be constraint to the Base part with two
    constraints, Insert and Mate coincide.

    Constraint no.1: In the dashboard, select Coincident


    from the constraint type drop down menu, select round
    surface of both parts as Component and Assembly
    item.This constraints 4 DOF and status will be
    displayed as “Partially Constrained”.

    Constraint no.2: Click New Constraint and select


    Coincident from the constraint type drop down menu.
    Select bottom surface of Side_Pin as Component item
    and top surface of base as Assembly item. Finally click
    Done button.This constraints 2 DOF and status will be
    displayed as “Fully Constrained”

    7. Assemble the Side-Pin.prt on Top surface of base part at 3 loacations using


    REPEAT option.
    a. If we want to assemble the component which consist a part is to be assembled at five
    different places. In such instances instead of assembling this part multiple times into
    an assembly, you can use the repeat option for the placement process. This method
    saves lot of time and also efforts.
    b. To place second Side-Pin.prt at Four more places on top surface , now we will use
    repeat option.

    To do this initially select Side_pin in Select Coincident as Assembly


    model tree, RMB and select option Reference and click Add button. Select
    Repeat. Repeat Component dialog box is hole surface /s one by one and click
    displayed (Fig.a). Confirm (Fig.b).
    Fig. a Fig. b

    A side_pin is assembled at three locations (Fig.11.17c).

    8. Assemble the Side-Pin.prt on side surface using REPEAT option.

    Select Side_pin in model tree, RMB and select option Repeat. Repeat Component dialog
    box is displayed (Fig.11.17a). Select both Coincident as Assembly Reference by pressing
    Ctrl key and click Add button. Select hole surface first, then side surface and click
    Confirm. A side_pin is assembled (Fig.11.17d). Thus assembly of Base, Central_Pin and
    Side_Pin parts is completed.
