Project Description
Project Description Toy Radio Controlled Car The objective of this workbook is to provide you with an an ongoing indication of your comprehension of the course material. The workbook will lead you through a modeling project with high level prompts. Detailed steps will not be present as they are in the student manual. However, feel free to reference the student manual as needed. In this project you will model some of the component parts of a toy car and add them to an assembly. Some of the parts have already been modeled but need to be added to the assembly in the proper orientation. Other parts will require the documentation of a drawing. This project will reinforce your Unigraphics skills of capturing design intent, modeling, assemblies, and drafting.

ÉÉÉ ÉÉÉ 1 ÉÉÉ ÉÉÉ
Rear Differential Modeling Section 1
The first part to be built for the toy car assembly is the rear differential. This activity will show how a primitive may be used to start the model, then new features may be used to add detail to the part.

Rear Differential Modeling
ÉÉÉ ÉÉÉ 1 ÉÉÉ ÉÉÉ The design intent of the rear differential is to hold the rear drive gear and the rear axle. The bosses that protrude from the sides to support the axle need to be centered on the central square section, and should act as one feature should the part change. The rear differential also must have the ability to rotate to a certain degree, allowing the rear wheels to travel over uneven surfaces. The bosses used to mount the differential therefore are required to be aligned. The walls of the central square section should be of uniform thickness. The rear drive gear will protrude from the top of the differential so that it can mesh with the drive gear from the power source. This means that the bottom of the central square section must accommodate the rear drive gear passing through it. The hole that allows the rear axle to pass through the part should be centered in the bosses that are provided to support it. Step 1 Open pau_seedpart_mm save it as ***_rear_diff_1 where *** represent your initials. Step 2 Start with a primitive as shown below. Be sure to enter the entire expression as the value in the length fields (i.e. BLLG=27.50). Locate the block at WCS origin 0,0,0. The expression names will help in referencing the values later.
Unigraphics builds the block and locates it in the location specified. Note the orientation of the block with respect to the WCS. Expressions are also stored for the three equations that were keyed in. These expressions store the parameters for the block and allow future editing to change the values defining the block if desired.

Step 3 Use the Hollow operation to remove material from the center of the block. Remove the top face and leave the other faces a thickness of 1.
Step 4 On each of the 27.5 x 17.5 faces (front and back) create a Boss feature 17.5 in diameter by 21 high. When positioning the first boss use the values BLLG/2 and BLHT/2 to place the bosses in the center of the face. BLLG and BLHT are expression names that were created in step 2. Expressions are case sensitive. Referring to these expression names links the values to the expressions, so that when the value for the expression changes the feature location updates accordingly. When creating the second boss, link its diameter and height to those of the first boss by using the expression names (p values) that were stored during creation of the first boss. Locate the second boss relative to the first boss to assure that they move together.
Step 5 Create edge blends with a radius of 4 along the bottom two long inside edges.

Step 6 Create edge blends with a radius of 5 along the bottom two long outside edges.
Step 7 Use a Pocket feature to create a Rectangular opening 18 long by 12 wide in the bottom of the part for gear clearance. A depth of 5 for the pocket should accomplish what is required. Center the pocket in the part using previously created expressions.
It is important to think of what is to be accomplished while using the various tools. A rectangular pocket created from the outside bottom face of the part will take away material upward as desired to create the clearance opening for the gear. Note that the pocket takes material from the blended faces and the bottom. A rectangular pocket created from the inside bottom face would not remove the material from the inside blended faces. They are above the placement face. Step 8 Place the 5.5 diameter axle clearance Hole through the part. Be sure that the clearance hole is centered in the boss features.

Rear Differential Drafting
In this section you will create a discipline specific single part assembly for drafting purposes. Because of the associative nature of Unigraphics assemblies, changes to the solid model will update its depiction in the discipline specific single part assemblies. The downstream application that will be used in this example is Drafting. Other discipline specific assemblies could be created to support analysis, manufacturing, etc.. Step 1
Open pau_seedpart_mm save it as ***_rear_diff_1_dwg where *** represent your initials.
Step 2 Add the pau_rear_diff_1 part from the parts directory to the assembly using the BODY reference set.
ÉÉÉ ÉÉÉ 3 ÉÉÉ ÉÉÉ This will ensure that the solid model and all of its construction tools remain segregated onto individual layers. This completes the first step in the creation of a drawing for the rear differential of the car assembly. Step 3 Save the part. Step 4 Enter the Drafting Application and edit the drawing such that the units are metric, the scale is 2/1, the drawing size is A3, and the drawing name is DWG1. The current drawing, created when the drafting application was entered, is changed as specified to better suit the rear differential part file.

Rear Axle Modeling, Assembly, and Drafting
Rear Axle Modeling, Assembly, and Drafting Section 4
The rear axle is meant to be driven by the rear drive gear. It has a flat area on a cylindrical body. The rear drive gear and the rear axle are made of a material that allows the drive gear to be pressed onto the axle until its mating flat locks it into the rear axle. The rear wheels are simply pressed onto the rear axle and held in place by friction. The rear drive gear should always remain centered along the length of the axle.

The second part to be built for the toy car assembly is the rear axle. This activity will reinforce the use of reference features.
Step 1 Open pau_seedpart_mm save it as ***_rear_axle_1 where *** represent your initials.
Step 2 Create a Cylinder along the +XC axis with a diameter of 5 and a length of 30. The rear axle has a notch centered along its length with the purpose of keeping the rear drive gear from slipping. A rectangular pocket will be used to create this notch, but first reference features must be created to aid in the placement of the pocket.

In the rear differential part the Master Model technique was used to facilitate concurrent engineering when the designer is not the drafter. Should these tasks fall to the same individual there may be no advantage to using the Master Model technique. In this case the drawing may be created in the same file as the model. Step 16 Change the displayed part to ***_rear_axle_1.
Step 17 Enter the Drafting application and edit the drawing to meet the following specifications: -
the drawing units are in System International.

The power pack is actually the housing for the electronics and radio receiver. This housing also contains gear sets that would connect the electric motor to the drive wheels. The power pack should be compact and yet accommodate the gear sets and rack spur gear.
This section will reinforce your freehand sketching and constraining skills. In this activity you will create two profiles that represent the shape of the power pack.
