Example: Assembly Challenge Submission

The following is an example of what a student' Assembly Challenge blog post might look like. Use this as a reference for creating your post (hopefully you earn at least a few more puzzle piece achievements!):



I earned 3 Achievements on this challenge:

"First Assembly"






"Give Help"
I explained to Dane how to use three constraints to lock in one puzzle cube part onto another.

"Receive Help"
Tom explained how to use the dimension tool to create a perfectly square sketch for my cube part.

Inventor Basics: Assembly Challenge

Overview
We've learned how to make a Part in Inventor, now it's time to understand how we can combine Parts into an Assembly.

A Part is a collection of data regarding a single object. Because we're using a digital format, we can leverage the power of our computers to rapidly create multiple instances of a single object:



Constraints can be applied to lock the parts in relation to each other:






Process
• Create a part that represents a single wooden cube. Use a ruler to measure the wood cube and create the part to scale.
• Choose one of the puzzle assorted puzzle cube parts that we have in class (see examples available in image below).
• Use Inventor to create an Assembly of the chosen puzzle cube part using the single wood cube Part.
• Post a photo of the puzzle cube piece you chose to model (you may use your lap top or cell phone to capture an image) and a corresponding screenshot of your assembly.




Achievements:
Post evidence of all achievements earned to your online portfolio (click here to see an example). Tally the total number of Achievements earned and start your post with "I earned X achievements for this challenge" where X is the number you earned.
"1st Assembly" - Post a photo of a puzzle piece (use webcam or smartphone) and then a screen shot of an Inventor assembly of it.
"2nd Assembly" - Post a photo of a second puzzle piece (use webcam or smartphone) and then a screen shot of an Inventor assembly of it.
"3rd Assembly" - Post a photo of a third puzzle piece (use webcam or smartphone) and then a screen shot of an Inventor assembly of it.
"4th Assembly" - Post a photo of a fourth puzzle piece (use webcam or smartphone) and then a screen shot of an Inventor assembly of it.
"5th Assembly" - Post a photo of a fifth puzzle piece (use webcam or smartphone) and then a screen shot of an Inventor assembly of it.
"Give Help" - Help your classmates. Describe a specific case of help you gave someone else.
"Recieve Help" - Solicit and recieve help from a classmate. Describe who helped you and how.
"I'm the Assembly Master!" - Create an assembly of the monster tower of power below (this could be tough...):
