1.Sketch Components:
• Valve Body:
• Sketch the outline of the valve body using the "Sketch" feature.
• Use dimensions or relations to define the size and shape.
• Disc:
• Sketch the disc that rotates inside the valve body.
• Ensure it fits properly within the valve body.
• Stem:
• Sketch the stem that connects to the center of the disc.
• The stem is usually connected to an actuator for control.
2. Create 3D Parts:
• Extrude:
• Extrude the sketches to give thickness to the valve body, disc,
and stem.
• Use the "Extrude" feature and specify the thickness.
3. Insert Parts into Assembly:
• Open Assembly:
• Start a new assembly in SolidWorks.
• Insert Components:
• Use the "Insert Components" tool to add the valve body, disc,
and stem to the
assembly.
4. Apply Mates:
• Coincident Mates:
• Use "Coincident" mates to align the valve body, disc, and stem
properly.
• Concentric Mates:
• Apply "Concentric" mates to align the center of rotation for the
disc and stem with the
valve body.
5. Add Motion:
• Create a Mechanism (if needed):
• If the butterfly valve is actuated, simulate the motion using
mates.
• Connect the stem to an actuator and define the range of motion.
6. Finalize Assembly:
• Add Fasteners:
• If applicable, add bolts or nuts to secure the valve components.
• Apply Appearances:
• Apply materials and appearances to give a realistic look to the
components.
7. Generate Drawings:
• Create 2D Drawings:
• Generate 2D drawings for each part and assembly.
• Include dimensions, annotations, and other necessary details.
8. Review and Save:
• Check for Interference:
• Use the "Interference Detection" tool to ensure there are no
clashes between
components.
• Save the Assembly:
• Save your assembly, parts, and drawings.
Steps to create Press Tool Assemble
➢ Sketch component:
i) Top plate: Sketch the outline of the top plate body using the
“Sketch” feature and dimensioning it or relations it for shape or
size.
ii) Bottom plate: Sketch same as top plate.
iii) Bush: Sketch the outline of bush body.
iv) Pillar: Sketch the outline of piller body also and dimension it.
➢ Create 3D parts:
Extrude it all parts for thickness.
