4.5 Tutorial 4_3 ~ 3D Bracket with Two Holes in this tutorial we will use the DesignModeler to build the bracket shown below, We Will use three sketch planes; the first sketch is the profile of the bracket which when extruded creates the base solid. The second and third sketthes are used te cents Gylinders which when subtracted from the bracket create the two holes, The het sketch is constructed on the XZ plane and extruded in the ¥ direction, The seeped is constructed on the XY plane and extruded ln the 2 direction. ‘The thitd sectors Constructed on the face of the bracket whichis not parallel to the principal oxes ‘Note: This tutorial assumes that you have oriented the sketching coordinate system 28 described in section 4.2.126 ANSYS Workbench Software Tutorial ‘step 1 ~ Start @ new DM project (see step 1 of tutorial 4_1). © comimater Piet © miter © rama 1 aay ae df Click the RMB on the XZPlane and select Look at.

Points 2 and 3 seen tne same location and designate the end ofthe first line and the beginning of the second line.Using DesignModeler to create geometry 4-25 ‘Step 5 = Add a Filet between the two nes: ‘A. Glick on Modify to open the modify toolbox. B. Glick on Fillet. C. Select the first line (note the prompts at the bottom left part of the window). Select the second line. The default Filet radius may make the radius dificult to see but you should notice the two end points of the racius after its created, “Step 6 = Dimension the drawing. ‘A. Click on Dimensions. B. Use the General too! to dimension the twa lines as you did In step 32 of the previous tutorial. . Use the Angle tool to set the angle between line 1 and the hortzontal axis, 2. Clickon Angle, 1. Glick the first line close to point 1. Glick the LMB on the horizontal axis, 4, Move the cursor to the desired location forthe label and click the LMB, D. Use the Radius too! to dimension the filet.
