WINTER TERM
ES1050 weekly schedule
ECE case study assignment is due at the end of this week. Questions? Please contact: Prof. Ken McIsaac kmcisaac@uwo.ca
Features, equations, lights, views, physical properties Prof. Paul Kurowski January 5, 2009
Feature-Based Solid Modeling Parts modeled by adding features to a base part Material can be added or subtracted Features can be created by extrusion, sweeping, revolving, etc.
Feature-based Modeling Process Create base part Add features until final shape is achieved Extruded Base Extruded Cut Extruded Cut
Sample of features Extrusion Revolution Sweep Loft Hole Extruded cut

Example A: rib, mirror mirror rib 04a.SLDPRT
Example B: linear pattern, equations 04b.SLDPRT
Example B: linear pattern, equations Part geometry is controlled by one parameter: the number of holes as defined in the linear pattern 04b.SLDPRT
Example C: Reference geometry, circular pattern, equations, renaming SW entities 04c.SLDPRT
Part geometry is controlled by two parameters: Example C: Reference geometry, circular pattern, equations, renaming SW entities Part geometry is controlled by two parameters: sketch angle and the number of entities in Circular Pattern feature 04c.SLDPRT
