In this exercise you will have the opportunity to complete a telephone part by creating the place for its screen. You will create the supporting Wireframe and build the base surfaces. Next, you will trim,. You will then perform a Draft analysis on the surfaces to determine if the telephone can be extracted from a mould. You will modify a supporting sketch and will see the automatic propagation of this change through to the final Skin. Finally, you will see how to work in a Hybrid environment by creating a Solid by offsetting the Skin.

Exercise
Operation Recap Exercise 15 min.
This Dolphin is a fun part that would normally be most efficiently created as a solid. However, creating it as a surface model, although leading to a heavier model, will allow us to practice creating all the different types of Fillets available: Shape, Edge, Variable, Face-to-Face, and Tri-Tangent.
38
For this exercise, go to the menubar and change the Units to Inches. (Note: The model is quite heavy so be patient during your interactions.) Create a Face-Face Fillet (Radius 0.9 in.) selecting faces on the two upper fins. Trim this Fillet with all the side fins (Join.15)
Load: dolphin_begin.CATPart

Create a (R=0.25in.) Shape Fillet between the last Tri-Tangent and the Nose surface of the Dolphin - use the Trim option to obtain a single surface as the result. Create (R=0.25in.) Edge Fillets between the body and the two front side fins.

In order to obtain a 4 Degree draft, you will modify a supporting line segment and will see the automatic propagation of this change through to the final Skin. Finally, you will see how to work in a Hybrid environment by creating a Solid by offsetting the Skin. A completed model Knob_Completed.CATPart is available for reference.

58
We will apply a 4 Degree draft angle to this vertical wall.
To see the result of the Draft Analysis, the current Render Style must be Customized with Materials active. Select the final surface and activate the Draft Analysis Tool. Set the Color Code Bar as above.
59
Close the Color Code Bar. Double-Click into the Line Sketch and change the angle to 86 Degrees. Upon exiting from the Sketcher, the software propagates the change to the surfaces and the Draft Visualization is updated immediately.

In this step you will see how surfaces are useful for creating complex solids. In this exercise you will specify an offset on the final surface to obtain a solid with a specific wall thickness.
61
Change to the Part Design Workbench. Select the final join and create a 4mm Thicksurface pointing inward. No-Show the open body to see only the solid. Switch the render style to wireframe mode and look normal to the YZ plane. Notice that the offset of the 4 mm Degree drafted wall has resulted in a nonhorizontal footprint for the knob.

Perform a Split on the solid using the XY plane to take off the excess. Add a material Rubber and switch to the Customize Render Style.

The Lemon Squeezer (Step 2): Creating the basic surfaces
30 min.
In this step you will: Create swept surfaces Create fill surfaces Join the result
136
Create the following explicit sweep and create the lower boundary :
Load : lemon_step1_end.CATPart
137
Create the following explicit sweep and create the lower boundary :
Join the 2 previously created surfaces.
138
Fill the Circle.5 passing through the point called Translate. 3:

Exercise
The Lemon Squeezer (Step 3): Creating a blend surface with coupling points and adding the handle
30 min.
In this step you will: Create coupling points Create blend surface using the coupling points Add the handle to the result
140
Create the upper boundary of the entity Join.3. Create a plane passing through this boundary and its central point. Using the previously created elements create a polar extremum on the boundary :
Keep only one sub-element using the Point.3 :

141
Create a point on the boundary curve using the extremum point previously created as reference.
Repeat the operation in order to obtain :
142
Put Circle.5 in the No-Show and create the boundary of the fill surface Fill.3. Project all the previously created points on this boundary (you can project them in one operation).
143
Create a blend to complete the part using the previously created points as coupling points :
Join all the created surfaces

Show the handle and trim it with the previous Join.
Add a 1mm fillet on the inner edge.

Exercise
The Lemon Squeezer (Step 4): Creating the filtering holes
30 min.
In this step you will: Create a sketch Create a circular pattern Project curves Trim a surface with curves
146
Create an offset plane from XY (10mm and Z direction) and create this sketch in this plane :
147
Create a circular pattern from the previous ellipse on the Plane.7 :
148
Project in the Z direction the ellipse and the circular pattern on the main surface (keeping all the sub-elements) :
149
Split the Lemon Squeezer with the previous projected curves :
Rem. : The projection of the circular pattern engenders a single nonconnex entity. This reduces the number of Split operations.
