Assembly Models
In this project we develop our knowledge of CAD assembly modeling by first practicing on a relatively simple mechanical device called a Jack Lift. This will include performing an interference analysis to determine if any unnecessary overlaps occur between the various components. Next, we applied our skills to assemble an Automoblox toy vehicle.

Jack Lift Assembly Wireframe Interference Analysis
We performed an interference analysis between the Wedge and Wedge Screw components. In an assembly, two or more components cannot occupy the same space at the same time. To detect such errors, you can analyze assemblies for interference. Where components overlap, interference is temporarily displayed as a solid. You can check for interference among components in a subassembly or selected group of components or between two groups of components.
Automoblox Toy Vehicle Subassemblies
A subassembly is an assembled unit forming a component to be incorporated into a larger assembly. How is it useful in the assembly of a complex product that involves multiple parts? By using subassembles the designer can use a section for a different toy or to make a new style of car. For example I can take the T9 front and assemble to the T9 bed to make small toy car.
