      SOLIDWORKS 2017 Learn by doing - Part 2 - Tutorial Books

      Chapter 1: Surface Design

      SOLIDWORKS Surface modeling tools can be used to create complex geometries that are very difficult to create using solid modeling tools. In addition, you can also use these tools to fix broken imported parts. In this chapter, you will learn the basics of surfacing tools that are mostly used. The surfacing tools are available on the Surfaces Command Manager. You can also find these tools on the menu bar (click Insert > Surface on the Menu bar).

      If the Surfaces CommandManager is not displayed by default, you can customize it. Right-click on any of the tabs of the CommandManager and select Surface from the shortcut menu.

      SOLIDWORKS offers a robust set of surface design tools. A surface is an infinitely thin piece of geometry. For example, consider a box shown in Figure. It has six faces. Each of these faces is a surface, an infinitely thin piece of geometry that acts as a boundary in 3D space. Surfaces can be simple or complex shapes.

      1

      In solid modeling, when you create solid features such as an Extruded Boss or a Revolved Boss, SOLIDWORKS creates a set of surfaces forming a closed volume. This airtight closed volume is considered as a solid body. Although, you can design a geometry using solid modeling tools, but the surface modeling tools give you more flexibility.

      Creating Basic Surfaces

      In this section, you will learn to create basic surfaces using the Extruded Surface, Revolved Surface, Swept Surface, and Lofted Surface tools. These tools are similar to that available in solid modeling.

      TUTORIAL 1 (Extruded Surfaces)

      To create an extruded surface, first create an open or closed sketch.

      7.JPG

      Click the Extruded Surface 1 button on the Surfaces Command Manager.

      Select the sketch. The Surface-Extrude Property Manager appears and is similar to the Boss-Extruded Property Manager.

      Enter a value in the Depth box available in the Direction 1 section.

      Click OK 2 on Property Manager to create the extruded surface. You will notice that the extrusion was not capped at the ends. You can check the Cap end option to cap the ends

      TUTORIAL 2 (Revolved Surfaces)

      To create a revolved surface, first create an open or closed profile and the axis of revolution.

      9.JPG

      Click the Revolved Surface 3 button on the Surfaces Command Manager.

      Select the sketch. The preview of the revolved surface appears.

      Enter the angle of revolution in the Direction 1 Angle box and click OK.

      9.JPG

      Even if you create an enclosed surface, SOLIDWORKS will not recognize it as a solid body. You will notice that the Mass Properties button is not available in the Evaluate Command Manager. This means that there exists no solid body. You will learn to convert a surface body into a solid later in this chapter.

      TUTORIAL 3 (Swept Surfaces)

      To create a swept surface, create a sweep profile and a path.

      5

      Click the Swept Surface 4 button on the Surfaces Command Manager (or) click Insert > Surface > Sweep.

      Select the sweep profile and then the path from the graphics window.

      Click OK 2 on the Property Manager.

      6

      Various ways of creating swept surfaces are given next.

      12.jpg913.jpg1011121314

      TUTORIAL 4 (Lofted Surfaces)

      To create a swept surface, create two or more profiles.

      15

      Click the Lofted Surface 7 button on the Surfaces Command Manager (or) click Insert > Surface > Loft on the Menu bar.

      Select the loft profiles from the graphics window.

      Click OK on the Property
