Lecture Three Geometry Creation and CAD: Drawing Assignment #1

This document provides an overview of a lecture on 3D CAD geometry creation and modeling. It includes details on a drawing assignment such as requirements for an exploded view, isometric views, and dimensions. It also outlines tutorials on basic and advanced part and assembly modeling as well as drafting. Finally, it discusses the advantages of 3D CAD such as visualization, automation of drawings, and change management.

Why 3D CAD?
The output is drawn on paper A paper sheet is two-dimensional Why dont we start and finish in 2D?
NOTE: Historically, it took two decades for the engineering design industry in Australia to switch from 2D to 3D drawing.

Advantages of 3D CAD
Easy to visualise the design object Automation in generating 2D drawings Geometric properties

Weight Centre of mass

Interference checking Improved quality

More advantages of 3D CAD


Easy to receive feedback from clients Parametric designs Standardisation Engineering Design Change Tracking Integrated Product Development

A Model
Model The 3-D computer graphics object that the user creates

Design Drawing Analysis Manufacturing

Part Model Assembly Model Surface Model Finite Element Model

Part Model
Part Model A single component that can be stored as a separate object

Feature
Feature A self-contained segment of a part model

Part 1 The small hinge plate Part 2 The large hinge plate Part 3 The pin

Protrusion (eg a boss) Cut-out (eg a slot) Hole (eg threaded, counterbore, etc)

Assembly Model
Assembly Model Collection of Part Models

An Assembly Model

An assembly model may contain many parts Each part will be a separate model An assembly model is merely an index of these models and their interrelationships

A Part Drawing

Wireframe View
Wireframe view Shows only the edges. Surfaces are not rendered.

Solid View
Surfaces are shown as opaque. The interior is hidden. Surfaces may be shaded and rendered.

Modelling a Part
Select the sketch plane Create the 2-d geometry Make the 3-d feature

Extrusion (Solid Edge calls it Protrusion) Revolving Sweeping

Protrusion

Revolved Protrusion

Constructs a protrusion by extruding a profile along a straight path.

Another protrusion built onto the first one

Constructs a protrusion by revolving a profile

Build a ring around the cylinder using the same command

Revolved Cut-out

Sweep - Protrusion

Constructs a cutout by revolving a profile

Constructs a protrusion by extruding a profile (A) along a path you define (B).

Sweep - Cutout

Geometric Relationships
Right Angle Parallel Edges The lines connect at the corners

Constructs a cutout by extruding a profile (A) along a path you define (B).

Centre Location Radius

Geometric Constraints
Collinear Connect Concentric Equal Horizontal/Vertical Tangent Symmetric Parallel Perpendicular
