- With the sub-assembly from the previous video
now in place, we can go ahead and
add it to the top-level assembly.
With the top-level assembly open, you can either
use the one that you started or I have saved a
version in the lesson folder in
chapter three as 03-04-add-sub-assemblies.
Feel free to use either of those.
Let's insert components, we will browse
for the piston and cam shaft assembly.
And make sure you pin the property dialog
and place a second instance as well
and then okay to complete the command.
Make sure that this cam shaft piston assembly has
the cam shaft triangular flange pointing
to the front of the assembly.
You can use the Move with Triad command if needed.
This is found on the right mouse button or you
could simply flip the Mate you intend to use.
Now let's Mate this piston concentric to this conrod.
And let's make the piston parallel to a horizontal
face on the conrod and I'll use
this cannibal face for our purpose.
Now let's use a with Mate from the Mate command
found under the Advanced Mate section to correctly
position the piston assembly to the conrod.
Test the result by dragging the conrod in the graphics view
and that's looking pretty good.
I'll go ahead and do the same for the
second instance of the sub-assembly.
Same as we have just done and
we will start with a Concentric Mate.
Again add a Parallel Mate,
and finally our with Mate again.
With our piston assemblies in place, save your work
and I'll see you in the next video.
