Sample Exam Questions
The questions below represent sample CSWA Exam questions. Part modeling and assembly modeling questions that require you to build model should be correctly answered in 45 minutes or less. Question 2 and Question 3 should be correctly answered in 5 minutes or less.
Question 1.
Build this part in SolidWorks.
Unit system: MMGS (millimeter, gram, second)
Decimal places: 2. Part origin: Arbitrary
A = 63mm, B = 50mm, C = 100mm. All holes through all.
Part material: Copper Density = 0.0089 g/mm^
What is the overall mass of
the part in grams?
a) 1205
b) 1280
c) 144
d) 1108
Question 4.
Build this assembly
in SolidWorks.
It contains 3
machined brackets
and 2 pins.
Brackets : 2mm
thickness, and equal size (holes throughโall). Material: 6061 Alloy, Density
= 0.0027g/mm^3. The top edge of the notch is located 20 mm from the top
edge of the MachinedBracket.
Pins : 5 mm length and equal in diameter, Material: Titanium, Density =
0.0046g/mm^3. Pins are mated concentric to bracket holes (no clearance).
Pin end faces are coincident to bracket outer faces. There is a 1 mm gap
between the brackets. Brackets are positioned with equal angle mates (
degrees).
Unit system: MMGS (millimeter, gram, second)
Decimal places: 2
Assembly origin: As shown.
What is the center of mass of the assembly?
a) X=โ11.05 Y=24.08 Z=โ40.
b) X=โ11.05 Y=โ24.08 Z=40.
c) X= 40.24 Y=24.33 Z=20.
d) X= 20.75 Y=24.33 Z=40.
Question 5.
Build this assembly in
SolidWorks. It contains 3
components: Base, Yoke,
Adjusting Pin. Apply the MMGS
unit system.
Material: 1060 Alloy for all
components. Density =
0.0027g/mm^
Base : The distance between the
front face of the Base and the
front face of the Yoke = 60mm.
Yoke : The Yoke fits inside the left and right square channels of the Base component, (no clearance). The top face of the Yoke contains a ร12mm throughโall hole.
AdjustingPin : The bottom face of the AdjustingPin head is located 40 mm from the top face of the Yoke component. The AdjustingPin component contains a ร5mm though all hole.
What is the center of mass of the assembly with respect to the illustrated coordinate system?
a) X=โ30.00 Y=โ40.16 Z=โ40.
b) X=30.00 Y=40.16 Z=โ43.
c) X= โ30.00 Y=โ40.16 Z=50.
d) X= 30.00 Y=40.16 Z=โ53.
