6. How to identify components in a design:
Apply Joints
How to identify components in a design:
Identifying components can be done using the Component Color Swatch under the Inspect panel.
From our last session, we created multiple bodies from pre-existing features and during the creation of features. We also were able to create components from the bodies or while creating a feature. In this session we will understand the difference of a body and a component and how they behave in the design.

7. A component contains bodies only:
Apply Joints
A component contains bodies only:
The steering linkage appears as one component with multiple bodies..
Components are designed from several different features. Some of those features can be other bodies in the component.

8. How to apply joints to components in a design:
The stationary linkage displays as an assembly with multiple components. Each component contains bodies.
Assemblies consist of components and bodies. The components contain bodies and possibly components, if they are a sub-assembly.

9. How to apply joints to components in a design:
Using the history shows the process already done.
Joints place components together by faces, edges or end/ mid points. These constraints place the components accurately together to verify the design will fit together.

13. Where are joints used?: Apply Joints
Joints can be applied to just about anything but work features (plane. point and axis). Most joints are related to holes, edges or faces. These features may need to be created before joints can be used.

14. Finding the base component:
Apply Joints
Finding the base component:
The base component is the component everything else will be built on.
Before we can apply joints we must decipher the component that all other components will be constraint to.The base component is the component everything else will be built on.
