LESSON 5

PATTERNS
UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THIS LESSON,
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:

• Create a linear pattern.


• Add a circular pattern.
• Use geometry patterns properly.
• Create a mirror pattern.
• Use the pattern seed only option with a linear pattern.
• Add a sketch driven pattern.
• Automate the process of fully defining a sketch.
WHY USE PATTERNS?

• Patterns are the best method for


creating multiple instances of one
or more features. Use of patterns
is preferable to other methods for
several reasons.
TYPES OF PATTERNS
TYPES OF PATTERNS
TYPES OF PATTERNS
TYPES OF PATTERNS
TYPES OF PATTERNS
LINEAR PATTERN
• The Linear Pattern tool creates copies, or instances, in a linear pattern
controlled by a direction, a distance and the number of copies. The instances
are dependent on the originals. Changes to the originals are passed on to the
instanced features.
• Introducing: Linear Pattern Linear Pattern creates multiple instances in one- or
two-dimensional arrays. The axis can be an edge,
axis, temporary axis or linear dimension.
• Where to find it? On the Features toolbar, click the Linear Pattern
tool from the Pattern flyout tool.
PROCEDURES
STEP 1: NEW PART

• Open a new part using the Part_MM template on the Training


Templates tab. Save the part and name it Ratchet.
STEP 2: DESIGN INTENT

• Select the plane Top as the sketch plane.


STEP 3: ADD A RECTANGLE

• Create a center rectangle


starting from the origin. Add
dimension 10.25in by 7.75in.
Extrude 0.1in.
STEP 3: CUT EXTRUDE

• Choose the top planar face


and create a corner
rectangle with the given
dimensions.
STEP 4: FIRST DIRECTION

• Click Insert, Pattern/Mirror, Linear


Pattern.
• Select the linear edge of the part
and click the Reverse Direction, if
necessary, to set the direction shown.
Set the Spacing to 2” and Number
of Instances to 5.
STEP 4: SECOND DIRECTION

• Expand the Direction 2 group


box and select another linear
edge. Set the Spacing and
Instances as shown.
DELETING INSTANCES

• Instances that are generated by the


pattern can be deleted by selecting
a marker at the centroid of the
instance shown in the pattern
preview. Each instance is listed in
array format (2,3) for identification.
STEP 5: INSTANCES TO SKIP

• Expand the Instances to Skip group


box and select the six center
instance markers. The tooltip shows
an array location that is added to
the list when selected.
STEP 6: COMPLETED PATTERN

• Click OK to add the pattern


feature LPattern1.
• Save and close the part.
CIRCULAR PATTERN
• The Circular Pattern tool creates copies, or instances, in a circular pattern
controlled by a center of rotation, an angle and the number of copies.
Changes to the originals are passed on to the instanced features.

• Introducing: Circular Pattern Circular Pattern creates multiple instances of one


or more features spaced around an axis. The axis
can be an circular face, edge, axis, temporary
axis or angular dimension.
• Where to find it? On the Features toolbar, click the Circular Pattern
tool from the Pattern flyout tool.
STEP 1: NEW PART

• Open a new part using the Part_MM template on the Training


Templates tab. Save the part and name it Ratchet.
STEP 2: DESIGN INTENT

• Select what sketch plane?


STEP 3: CREATE A CENTERLINE

• Create a centerline starting from the origin


vertically going up.
STEP 4: CREATE THE SKETCH

• Create the sketch in the right.


STEP 5: ADD DIMENSIONS

• Add the following the dimensions.


STEP 6: REVOLVE FEATURE

• Add revolve feature and make the


centerline as axis od revolution.
STEP 7: COMPLETED FEATURE

• The figure in the right is the


completed feature.
STEP 8: ADD FILLET

• Add a fillet of 8mm.


STEP 9: SKETCH PLANE

• Select top plane and create a circle.


• Extrude the circle up to the upper
surface.
STEP 10: SKETCH PLANE (RIGHT PLANE)

• Select right plane and the following


sketch.
• Extrude the sketch up to the surface.
STEP 7: COMPLETED FEATURE

• The figure in the right is the


completed feature.
STEP 8: PATTERN AXIS

• Click Insert, Pattern/Mirror, Circular


Pattern...
• Click in Pattern Axis and select the
cylindrical face of the model as
shown.
STEP 9: TEMPORARY AXES

• To use a temporary axis as the pattern


axis, click View, Temporary Axes or
click the on-screen menu option.
STEP 10: SETTINGS
• Click in Features to Pattern and
select the three features shown for
Features to Pattern.
• Click Equal Spacing, 4 instances and
click Geometry pattern.
• Check that the Angle is set to360°
and click OK.
• Note: The Reverse Direction option is
meaningful only when an angle
other than 360° is used.
STEP 11: COMPLETE FEATURE

• Turn off the temporary axes.


• Save and close the part.
MIRROR PATTERN
• The Mirror Pattern tool creates a copy, or instance, across a plane or planar face. The instance
is dependent on the original. Changes to the original propagate down to the mirrored
instance(s).
• Introduction: Mirror Pattern creates one instance of one or more
features or a body across a plane. The plane can be a
plane or planar face.
• Where to find it? On the Features toolbar, click the Mirror Pattern tool (8)
from the Pattern flyout tool.
From the Insert menu, choose: Pattern/Mirror, Mirror...
Note: To mirror all the geometry of a part about a common face, select the common face as
Mirror Face/Plane and the solid body as Bodies to Mirror. The common face must be planar.
USING PATTERN SEED ONLY

• The Pattern Seed Only option is used when a two direction pattern iscreated.
The second direction defaults to patterning all geometry created by the first
direction unless Pattern Seed Only is used to pattern only the original or seed
geometry. It is commonly used to prevent overlapping results when the two
directions use the same vector.
SKETCH DRIVEN PATTERN
• The Sketch Driven Patterns tool
creates copies, or instances, in a linear
arrangement controlled by sketch
points. The pattern can be based on
the centroid of the seed or a selected
point off the centroid.
• This example represents the holes in a
structural steel plate.
• This pattern is intended for use where
a linear type of pattern is required
but the standard Linear Pattern
feature can not easily be utilized.
