QuickStart2 guides you through the Creation of a simple CAD model:

The model includes base features, cut features, fillets and chamfers.

 

 

Modeling Process

 

1. Click Sketch button (Sketch) on the toolbar. Select the Front Plane as the base plane.

 

2. Click (Circle) on the toolbar to draw a circle. Select the center as origin and draw the circle of radius 60mm as shown below. Click OK. To exit sketch mode, click   button at the right bottom of the Model View.



3. Click Extrude  on the toolbar to extrude the sketch1 with a height of 10mm and draft angle of 5 degrees.



4. Click Sketch button  again and select the top face of extrude solid as base plane. Draw the sketch as shown below. Draw circles with 40mm and 35mm radius. First create the two circles and a rectangle as shown below.
            
Now apply trim to the above sketch to get the following sketch.

  
Apply Fillet to get the following sketch.

   
Adjust the dimensions to get the following correct sketch.

 

Note

You can draw sketch initially and use the smart dimension feature to assign the correct dimensions to the sketch.

5. Extrude the above sketch in direction 1 with height = 60 mm and draft angle = 5 degrees and direction 2 as height = 10 mm and with draft angle 5 degrees.

     

6. Draw a circle of 3mm radius on the face of the extruded circle and create circular pattern as shown below.
           

 

7. Make a sketch on right plane as shown below.

Draw lines as shown below. When you draw center line, check For Construction option and it will be dash dot line.



8. Create revolve feature of the above sketch with cut option.



9. Click Sketch button  and select the top face as base plane. Create the sketch as shown below.



10. Extrude the above sketch with a distance of 40mm and a draft angle of 5 degrees.


 

11. Extrude cut the circular pattern that we created in step 6.

 

12. Fillet the edges with a radius of 5mm as shown below.

          

 

Fillet with a radius of 3mm as shown below.

 

13. Apply chamfer with a distance of 3mm and angle 45 degrees.
            

 

14. The final Flange looks as shown below.
