Assemble, test and refine systems

Pupils will develop knowledge of electronic components and a systems approach to designing. They will learn about different components and use these to build and test circuits for different purposes. They will design a system to control a greenhouse environment, considering the different variables.

Systems approach to design: Sustainable Futures

a collection of components joined together

A joint in Fusion defines how components move or stay {{}}.

fixes two components together so they can’t move

allows one part to move in a straight line

Match each joint type to its description:

to check how components fit and function together

Why is it important to create assemblies during digital prototyping?

Adding screws, bolts, or other fixings to an assembly helps make it more {{}}.

If two parts in an assembly are not aligned properly, what should be adjusted?

a container that holds bodies, sketches and other design elements

A single continuous 3D shape in Fusion is called a {{}}.

to make sure parts fit and move together correctly

defines how components move or stay fixed

contains bodies and sketches that form one part of the design

Which Fusion workspace is used to build assemblies and test movement?

In an assembly, components are connected as they would be in the {{}} world.
