The following will explain how to navigate Rocket Team’s Enterprise and properly organize parts and assemblies within subteams.
Note that once you are added to the enterprise- you should be able to see ‘Rocket Slug’ when you click your profile in the top right-corner.
When accessing the Rocket Team’s Enterprise, under “Projects and Folders” you should see the following folders, each clearly labeled with either a sub team or competition name. To view the CAD files for these projects, simply click on the appropriate folder.
When creating parts and assemblies for your sub team, it is important to properly name the folders for each subsystem and CAD imports. Below is an example from our Spaceport America 2024-2025 0000 Full-Scale CAD file. As shown, clear labeling and organized folders allow for easy access to any part of the vehicle.
In Onshape, parts serve as the fundamental building blocks of a 3D model, comparable to individual components in a physical product or the building blocks of a mechanism. These parts can be designed with various shapes and features to represent specific elements.
Assemblies are collections of multiple parts (or other assemblies) arranged in a defined configuration, similar to combining components to form a complete product. This structure enables efficient design and management of complex models, as parts can be created and modified independently. Assemblies provide a comprehensive view of the final product.
Drawings are used to create 2D technical representations of 3D models, often for manufacturing or documentation purposes. Drawings provide detailed views, including dimensions, annotations, and standard projections, that help to highlight the important info about a part or assembly. These are utilized heavily in documentation.
Proper part, assembly, and drawing numbering is crucial for maintaining organization within the club and overall, in engineering. When creating parts and assemblies, please follow the format outlined below.
