Workshop 1.2: Sketching in Spaceclaim: Introduction To Ansys Spaceclaim Direct Modeler

This document provides instructions for a workshop on sketching and modeling in SpaceClaim Direct Modeler (SCDM). The objectives are to create a new geometry without dimensions by sketching and using the pull tool. It includes steps to create a simple cube, bracket with holes and rounds, and save the file. Key tools demonstrated are the sketching mode, pull tool to extrude sketches, and chamfer/round options.

Workshop 1.2: Sketching in SpaceClaim


Introduction to ANSYS SpaceClaim Direct Modeler

1
Key Learning Points

• Creating a new Geometry


– Create a new part using the image on the right as a reference
– Learn to sketch in SpaceClaim
– Learn how to effectively use the ‘Pull’ tool in SCDM

2
Objectives
The objective of this workshop is to create a new geometry without respecting any given
dimensions. It starts by creating sketches using the Sketch Creation Tools. The Pull Tool is
than used to create 3D geometry from the sketch

Tools needed:

Sketch Creation Tools Pull tool

3
Sketching in SpaceClaim
• Select the Sketching Mode either by using shortcut ‘K’ or pressing the button (1) in the picture below
• Select the XZ plane to sketch on by clicking when oriented in that plane
• Create 2 rectangles like the ones shown below using the ‘rectangle’ sketch tool or the keyboard
shortcut ‘R’
• Click on the Plan View for sketching; you can use the keyboard shortcut ‘V’

(1)

4
Pulling the sketch

• Click on the Pull tool in the Design toolbar or use the keyboard shortcut ‘P’
• “Pull” the box in the + y direction to make it a 3D cube
• Click on the Home view button or use the keyboard shortcut ‘H’

Notice: After clicking on ‘Pull’ the mode turns automatically to 3D

5
Creating Simple Bracket (1)
• Click on the upper surface of the volume obtained, then click on the rectangle sketch creation tool
Notice the mode turns automatically to sketching

• Draw the following sketches:

6
Creating Bracket (3)

• Select the inner circles and the small rectangle using the Ctrl key, then click on the ‘pull’ tool
• Pull in the – y direction to create holes
• Select the surfaces between the small and the big circles and pull in the + y direction to add material

7
Creating Bracket (4)

• Select the surface behind the two cylinders and click on the line tool or use the keyboard shortcut ‘L’

8
Creating Bracket (5)

1. Use the line tool or the keyboard shortcut ‘L’ to create the 2 lines shown below
2. Use the Three-Point-Arc to draw the Arc between the upper points
3. Use the Offset function to offset the created sketch

9
Creating Bracket (6)

• Pull the created sketch in the + Z direction to add material

10
Creating Rounds (1)

• Select the two edges of the upper cylinders surfaces and pull to create rounds

Notice: The default Pull option is set to Round for edges

11
Creating Rounds (2)

• Repeat the same actions with the 4 following edges

12
Creating Chamfers

• Select the 9 following edges using the CTRL key or double clicking on any of these edges. Click on the Pull
Tool and change the Pull Option to ‘Chamfer’ to create Chamfers

13
Saving the project

Save the file as file.scdoc in the desired folder

In this workshop we learned how to create sketches in SpaceClaim and how to pull
these sketches without following any given dimensions
