Section 3: Exploding Objects
Lesson 2 Summary
Still and animated exploded views, put together by sophisticated computer-aided design (CAD) software, can be beyond impressive! If you search the Internet, you can find fantastic animations showing exploded views coming together and breaking apart.
For two good animations, do an Internet search using the keywords “awesome engine animation” and “solidworks model of Porsche Carrera GT video.”
The components of an object and the method of assembly are essential elements in an exploded-view diagram. Even more importantly, understanding the size and scale of all the components allows models to be built and tested. In this lesson you drew exploded views to scale for a variety of common objects and you reviewed the features that good exploded-view diagrams include.
