Fundamentals of Part Modeling Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS® 2018

Start the translation of the initial design functional and geometric

requirements into SOLIDWORKS features.

What are features?

• Features are geometry building blocks.

• Features can add or remove material.

• Features are created from sketched profiles or from edges and

faces of existing geometry.

Utilize the following features to create the PLATE part:

• Extruded Boss/Base ~ : The Extruded Boss/Base feature

adds material to the part. The Boss-Extrude 1 (Base) feature is

the first feature of the PLATE. An extrusion extends a profile

along a path normal to the profile plane for a specified

distance. The movement along that path becomes the solid

3D model. Sketch the 2D rectangle ( close profile) on the

Front plane. Fully define the Base Sketch with Geometric

relations and dimensions.

• Extruded Cut ~ : The Extruded Cut feature removes

material. The Extruded Cut starts with a 2D circle sketched

on the front face. The front face is your Sketch plane. Copy

the sketched circle to create the second circle. Utilize the

Through All Depth End Condition (Design Intent). The holes

extend through the entire Boss-Extrude! feature. Note: Use

the Hole Wizard feature when you need to incorporate

complex or blind holes in a part. The Hole Wizard (Call out)

information can be imported directly into a drawing and

provides the correct hole annotations.

• Fillet lB: The Fillet feature removes sharp edges of the

PLATE. Add Fillets to a solid, not the sketch. Group small

comer edge fillets together. In this exercise, group Tangent

edge fillets together.

• Hole Wizard ~ : The Hole Wizard feature creates the

Countersink hole at the center of the PLATE. The Hole

Wizard requires a Sketch plane. Select the back face of the

PLATE for your Sketch plane. Note: In this book, we focus

on 2D Sketches vs. 30 Sketches.

SOLIDWORKS design tools and features.
