Lesson 4 Part Design Workbench Introduction This lesson uses the “L Shaped Extrusion.CATPart” created in the previous lesson. The first part of this lesson introduces you to all of the different default toolbars found in the Part Design Workbench and the specific tools found in them. The object of this lesson is to complete the “L Shaped Extrusion” started in the previous lesson, When you complete this lesson, the “L Shaped Extrusion” will be a “T Shaped Extrusion” and look similar to what is shown in Figure 4.1. The steps needed to complete the part are described in detail. Not all of the tools will be used to complete the part. This lesson is basic; therefore, there will be some overlap from the previous lesson. Figure 4.1 The completed “T Shaped Extrusion.CATPart” Objectives This lesson will show you how to do the following: - How to select the Part Design Workbench - How to open the “L Shaped Extrusion.CATPart” - How to review Pad creation. ~ How to create several different Fillets - How to create a Chamfer - How to create and place Holes - How to create Patterns - How to modify the existing “L Shaped Extrusion”42 CATIA V5 Workbook - How to Translate entities - How to Rotate entities - How to use the Symmetry tool - How to Mirror entities - How to Scale entities - How to create Part Design Constraints - How to Apply Material to entities - How to manage the Specification Tree - How to customize the Specification Tree ~ How to Review the design process - How to Save the document ~ How to Exit CATIA VS (review) Part Design Workbench Toolbars ‘There are seven standard toolbars found in the Part Design Workbench. The seven toolbars are shown on the following pages. The individual tools found in each of the seven toolbars are also shown and include the tool name and a brief definition. Tools that have multiple options have an arrow at the bottom right of the tool icon. Reference the previous lesson section titled “Sketcher Workbench Toolbars” for information on how to change the default tool and on tools that have multiple options. The Sketcher Toolbar (Access the Sketcher Workbench | (A. Note: This is just a reminder from the previous lesson. Toolbar _| Tool Name | Tool Definition w ‘Sketcher Provides access to the Sketeher Workbench. ‘This is where the Sketch tools are made available for creating profiles.Part Design Workbench 43 The Sketch-Based Features Toolbar Toolbar _| Tool Name Tool Definition ® Shaft Creates a sketch by revolving a sketch around an axis ‘The Shaft tool requires the Axis tool (found in the Sketcher Workbench) to define the axis of rotation. Groove Creates a groove in an existing solid by revolving a sketch around an axis. The Axis tool is not required; other entities such as edges of other solids can be used. a ‘Hole Creates a variety of hole types including: tapered, simple, counterbored, counter sunk and counterdrilled. | Although this tool is in the Part Design Workbench it creates a sketch that can be modified in the Sketcher Workbench. a Rib Creates a rib by sweeping a profile along a center curve. Create the profile sketch then create another sketch defining the curve (path) the profile will be swept alon; @ Slot Creates a slot by sweeping a profile along a center curve. The profile does not have to be a closed profile. The center curve can be existing entities. The profile is subtracted from the intersecting (existing) solid. e Solid This tool allows you to combine components by = ‘Combine specifying profile one and profile two. Stiffener Creates a stiffener. Requires a sketch, the sketch does Aa not have to be a closed profile. a Multi-section | Creates a solid loft. Requires a closed profile anda Solid spine to define the path. ‘Removed Creates a negative loft. Same as the Loft tool except mutli-sections | that material is subtracted from the existing solid. An Solids existing solid is required to subtract from, Pads Toolbar Pad (Creates a pad (Solid) by extruding a profile. The profile can be an open or closed profile. Note: In most cases closed profiles are easier to work with. @ | Drafiea Creates a pad with drafts and fillets, This tool saves Filleted Pad _| several steps by building in two of the Dress Up tools &@ | Multi-Pad | Creates a multi-pad part with various thicknesses. This requires multiple closed profiles in the same sketch. The tool allows the user to define the thickness of each closed profile.
