  1. Advanced Modeling Techniques Advanced Modeling Techniques

  2. Advanced Modeling Techniques Methods to Save Time Reference Geometry Mirroring Linear Patterns Circular Patterns Methods to Create Shapes Holes Shelling Sweep Loft Advanced Modeling Techniques

  3. Reference Geometry: Planes SolidWorks starts off with the 3 original planes: front, right, top To add a new plane we can reference previous planes and create offset new planes or other options Advanced Modeling Techniques

  4. Reference Geometry: Axes Axes can also be created without the creation of a 2D sketch Advanced Modeling Techniques

  5. Mirror Mirroring creates an reverse copy of features on the opposite side of a mirroring plane First the Mirror Plane must be chosen Advanced Modeling Techniques

  6. Mirror Once the plane has been chosen then the features to mirror are selected The new features are joined to the original model Advanced Modeling Techniques

  7. Linear Patterns Once edges are selected for direction, number of instances and distance are specified in the dialog box Features can also be duplicated in linear patterns in either one or two directions. Advanced Modeling Techniques

  8. Circular Patterns Once features and axes are chosen the angle and number of instances are specified Features can also be duplicated in circular patterns around an axis Advanced Modeling Techniques

  9. Advanced Modeling Techniques Methods to Save Time Reference Geometry Mirroring Linear Patterns Circular Patterns Methods to Create Shapes Holes Shelling Sweep Loft Advanced Modeling Techniques

  10. Holes Mating Parts Hole Specifications Built-in Hole Tools Location and Size Selected Feature Based Modeling

  11. Shells Removes Volume Thin Wall Created Feature Based Modeling

  12. Sweep Mirror complex features to save time Pathways can be combined with a 2D profile, such as a circle, to create what is known as a sweep Advanced Modeling Techniques

  13. Loft The same shape but different sizes can be used Lofting is taking two profiles on separated planes and filling the space between with material that blends the original profiles Advanced Modeling Techniques

  14. Loft Circular patterns, fillets, and appearances can also be added Different shapes can be blended into one solid such as the hexagon is connected to the circles of different sizes Advanced Modeling Techniques

  15. Advanced Concepts Wrap Up Time Saving Methods • Reference Geometry • Planes/Axes/Points • Mirroring • Linear Patterns • One or two directions • Circular Patterns Advanced Shapes • Sweep • Loft Homework assignment: SolidWorks tutorials • Lofts • Pattern Features • Revolves and Sweeps Found under the Buidling Models tab of the SolidWorks tutorials Print off 3D model with Name Advanced Modeling Techniques
