What I can do is treat the origin of each part as the coordinate center then offset my parts from there. Then when I go into the assembly mode I just have to mate the Front, Top, and Right datum planes. The parts will be where I want them and all the origins will be lined up. So when I export...
In Proe I usually position the parts according to a coordinate system. I can easily mate the coordinate systems in the assembly and the parts are in their proper position. Then when I export the assembly as an iges they are in their proper position. In Solidworks I'm unable to mate coordinate...
I want to export the assembly as an iges file so that I can use it as an input file for fea. I have several brackets that I want to analyze, but I don't want to analyze the component that they are holding. I plan to use a mass element. So I basically want to place the brackets in space according...
Hello,
In Solidworks, is there a way to bring parts with a coordinate system into an assembly with a coordinate system and assemble the parts by mating their coordinate system to the assemblies coordinate system?
