All language subtitles for 120 Guitar Positional Assembly

This is tutorial number 120 and it covers the guitar positional assembly within

Katia V5. To start off open up a new product file. Now what we're going to be

doing is bringing in the guitar components and we're going to piece them

together by using the positional assembly features and by the end instead of a

constrained guitar assembly we're going to have a positional guitar assembly. So

to start off let's bring in a few parts. Let's click insert, click existing

component, click product 2 and let's insert the base. Click open and we brought

the base in. Now we're going to be using this as our base so we're always going to

be selecting the other part first and this part second. Now let's bring in the

plate so click insert, click existing component with positioning, click product 2,

click the plate, click open and just move it around a bit, click okay. So we're

going to line up one of these circles and we're going to position it over here.

So let's click the snap feature and let's snap this axis to this axis here.

And it's the right position right way and we'll do the snap again and we'll

position it on this face. So now we've snapped the plate onto the base. So let's

bring in a couple more components, click insert, existing component with

positional product 2 and this time let's click the knobs. Now bring them in and

just move them around so you can see where they are. Click okay and let's

position the knobs on these three holes here. So again like the other ones,

these knobs are already created as one part so in this tutorial and in this

specific case all I need to do is actually line up one of them and they're all

going to be lined up correctly. Now we'll snap the faces so snap this face here,

onto this face here and now we've positioned our knobs. Now let's bring in some

more parts, click insert, existing component with positional, click product and

we'll bring in the bars, click open and just move them around so you can see

them, click okay. Now we'll click the manipulation so snap these bars so I'm

gonna click this one there or wait let me go back I didn't select the axis.

So select the axis there and we'll select the axis here, click okay, click

outside and now let's snap the faces together. So click this face and click this

face and now we've snapped the bars on. So now let's insert another part, click

insert, existing component with positional, click product and let's click the end

mount, click open, click okay, we don't actually need that one right now we need

the other mount so click insert, existing component, click product two, click

the mount, click open and just move this around. Now if the end mount just leave it

there for now and we'll position everything after, click the snap and let's

choose the axis here and we'll choose this axis here, click outside and now

snap the faces so click that face there and that face there and now we snap

that down. So now we'll insert another component there so click insert, click

existing component, click product two and in this one let's insert the plug, click

open and just move it around just so you can see where it is, click okay and let's

snap this so we'll click, sorry, click snap and we'll click this face here and we'll

click this face here and now they're in line so now we're gonna snap a point so

click the snap and we're going to choose that point right there and we're gonna

snap it and see here so we're gonna click that point there, click outside and

now we've snapped that component in. Now we're gonna bring in the neck so

since it's it, click insert, click existing component with position, click

product two and let's bring in the neck, click open and just move it around a

little bit, click okay, now click snap, click this face here and click this face

here, click snap and we'll snap this face here with this face here and then snap

this face here and this face here. Now let's bring in the strings, click insert,

click existing component with positioning, click product two, click the strings,

click open and click okay. So now we have the strings and we have the end knobs

that we have to position so let's position the strings right now so let's

click the snap and we'll zoom in and just touch one of the faces of the strings

and we'll click this face here and you see that it's going in the wrong direction

so we're gonna have to flip it and now we have it going in the right direction and

we'll click snap again and we'll choose one of the strings

and we'll click one of these circles here to snap it to so now we have our

strings in line there and now what we have to do is just position it so we're

gonna click the manipulation and we're going to drag it along any axis so we're

gonna choose this axis here, pick it up and we're just gonna drag it. Now we're

gonna leave it where it is right now just drag it wherever you think it should

be and then we're gonna bring these guys up and position it, click okay and now

let's snap these guys in. So click snap, click this axis

and then we'll click this axis here, snap it and we have it in the right

direction now we'll click snap and we'll click this face here and this face

there and we have it going in the right direction, click okay and now if we look

at our strings they're a little bit too far to the left so what we're gonna do

is click the manipulation. Now we're we're able to use the x axis if we wanted

to but in this case I'd rather just use one of the components that we threw in

here and just throw a line up one of the lines to use as an axis so click that

line and then we'll go up here and we'll just drag the strings over to the

position that looks correct and it lines up too and click okay. So now we've

created the guitar assembly using only positional assembly features so we don't

have any constraints on the side it was much quicker than using the

constraint assembly features and we still get pretty much the same degree of

accuracy so this was just two different ways to look at assembling the guitar

going through the process you're gonna learn how to bring all these

components together how you want to piece them together and this was just two

different ways of looking at one different problem and with CAD systems that's

how it always is one problem has an infinite number of answers so this is just

two different ways to look at it and two different ways to set it up but for

the most part this was an example of constraining an assembly and positioning

an assembly and these are the two results we get and that concludes our

tutorial on the guitar positional assembly with LncTFV5.
