3 MODELLING OF CENTRE FUSELAGE STRUCTURE

MEMBERS

AIM: - To model the Centre fuselage structural members.

COMMANDS USED:
1. Extruded Boss/Base
2. Extruded Cut
3. Reference Geometry > Plane
4. Extrude Cut
5. Circular Pattern

PROCEDURE: -

1. Select front plane and sketch the profile for the bulkhead with the inner and outer
radius of 70mm and 80mm.

2. Extrude the bulkhead profile with a thickness of 6mm.

3. To create a new plane with an offset distance of 50mm, select front plane-
reference geometry-offset-50mm.

4. Select the new plane created and sketch the profile for frame with the inner and
outer radius of 70mm and 80mm, extrude to thickness of 3mm.

5. Using the mentioned procedure create in total 3 bulkheads and 6 frames each at
a distance of 50mm.

6. Create holes on all the frames using the Extrude Cut-Through all feature. Sketch
the holes of 3mm radius and extrude cut through all.

7. Sketch the profile for the Stringer- Z section, with a thickness of 1.25mm, extrude
through all. (Figure. 1)

8. Create a pattern of stringers across the circumference of the bulkheads and

frames using the feature – Circular Pattern-12 stringers.
RESULT :

Modelling of Centre fuselage structural members are completed using SolidWorks.
