Designing a Basic DC Motor Assembly in SolidWorks: To create a straightforward DC motor assembly using SolidWorks, follow these steps: First, open SolidWorks and click on "File" to start a new project. Then, select "Assembly" from the menu and choose a template for your motor design. Name your file accordingly. Next, create two main components for the motor: the stator and rotor. Use the "Extruded Boss/Base" tool to design the stator, which is typically cylindrical in shape with slots for the winding wires. Create multiple instances of this component using the "Mirror" command to replicate it around the axis. For the rotor, use the "Extruded Cut" feature to create a similar cylindrical shape but without the slots. Make sure to orient the rotor correctly so that its axis aligns with the stator's axis. Now, assemble the motor by inserting instances of the stator and rotor components into the assembly environment. Use the "Mate" tool to connect them properly. This will ensure accurate alignment between the two parts. To add the winding wires, create a new component using the "Extruded Boss/Base" feature, then extrude it along the axis to create the wire shape. Duplicate this component multiple times and insert them into the assembly environment, connecting them to the stator slots. Finally, use the "Assembly Features" tab to apply realistic constraints to your motor design, such as mating the rotor to the stator and ensuring proper alignment between components. This will give you a solid understanding of how DC motors work.
