Problem 1
Create a cavity block for the part bracket found in the zip file of this sample exam. Use the parting line
tool to create the shut off surface for the part, and then create the cavity block.
Parameters:
Cavity Block Material: Cast Stainless Steel
Density: .27818 lb/in^3 (stock SolidWorks Material density)
Units: Inches
Mass: Pounds
A= 3.125
B= 4.625
C= 10.000
D= 10.000
What is the mass of the cavity block in pounds?
A. 107.078
Hint: You must use the parting line tool to get the correct parting line especially in the transition areas
where the part changes angles. If you try to fake the parting line the part will not get split at the correct
location, and the mass of your cavity block will be off. Dont forget to always add the correct material to
your cavity block to ensure the mass is correct. In the real exam this is not a multiple choice question
and you are only allowed a .015 lbs tolerance on the resulting mass of the block.
Problem 2
Perform a draft Analysis on the bracket part.
Direction of pull: Top Plane
Draft Angle: 1.00 Degrees
Hint: Make sure you understand the available options in the Draft Analysis tool.
Problem 3
Shut-off face creation
Open the part Puck found in the zip file of this sample exam and create shut-off faces for the five
openings as shown below:
What is the measured surface area of the five shut-off faces in inches ^2?
A. 1.9634 B. 1.9242 C. 1.9315 D. 1.9245
Hint: Use the measuring tool to get the surface area calculation. Also using the Shutoff faces tool will
automate the face creation process to save you some time.
