 ABSTRACT

The pneumatic Riveting machine has an advantage of working in low pressure, that is

even a pressure of 6 bar is enough for operating the unit. The pressured air passing

through the tubes to the cylinder, forces the piston out whose power through the linkage

is transmitted to the rivet. The work piece thus got is for required dimensions and the

piece can be collected through the land clearance provided in the die.

The die used in this is fixed such that the rivet of required shape can be

according to the requirement. This enables us to type rivet resulting in a wide range of

products. Different types of rivets as required can be thus got. According to the work

material the operating pressure can be varied.

 INTRODUCTION

The Naan Mudhalvan Course: SURFACE MODELLING Teaches students how to create
models of engineering objects and assemblies using the 3DEXPERIENCE - CATIA software. This
software is widely used in various interdisciplinary engineering fields for modeling and is the
primary tool used in this course. Through the course, students gain a comprehensive understanding
of the software's capabilities and learn how to use it to complete various modeling tasks. By the
end of the course, students are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to create high-
quality engineering models and assemblies using 3DEXPERIENCE - CATIA, making them well-
prepared for a career in the mechanical engineering industry.

3DEXPERIENCE - CATIA is designed to help engineering companies achieve

engineering excellence. The software boasts a powerful set of social and collaborative 3D
modelling and simulation tools that enable users to work together on design projects and improve
their overall engineering capabilities. With CATIA, engineering companies can streamline their
design processes and reduce the time and resources required to bring their products to market.
Whether it's creating 3D models or running simulations, CATIA's suite of tools provides the
necessary support for engineering teams to achieve their goals.

1.1 AN OVERVIEW OF 3DEXPERIENCE - CATIA DESIGN SOFTWARE

1.1.1 An End-to-end process for mechanical & shape design

3DEXPERIENCE CATIA is a software solution that offers its users unlimited

possibilities to create anything they want. Its geometrical modeler is specifically designed to
support the completion of highly complex mechanical products and parts with great accuracy,
from concept to detailing. The software provides a comprehensive set of tools, including high-
quality surface and part design, assembly creation, mechanism motion, 3D mock-up review, and
drawing generation, ensuring that users have all the necessary support to achieve their design
goals. Additionally, 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA guarantees users the best geometry accuracy for
part and tooling surfaces, as well as the highest level of performance, even when working on very
heavy models with thousands of features or parts. Overall, 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA is a
powerful and versatile tool for creating complex designs with precision and ease.
1.1.2 Real-time collaboration

Effective collaboration is vital for every team, and 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA offers a powerful
database platform that enables colleagues, suppliers, and external partners to work together more efficiently
and seamlessly. This results in shorter cycle times and fewer late changes, which can help streamline the
design process. With 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA, users can access and share the latest version of their data,
allowing different stakeholders to work in parallel on the same project and save their modifications
simultaneously. If necessary, different stakeholders can have different access rights to the data, depending on
their role. For example, reviewers or providers can see only the parts they need for their work and not the
overall product, and they can have different levels of access rights, such as read or modify. Managing all
access rights is easy with the platform, and adding external team members later is also straightforward
thanks to the platform's simple user and license management system. Overall, 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA
offers an efficient and collaborative environment for teams to work together and achieve their design goals.

1.1.3 Why choose 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA?

3DEXPERIENCE CATIA is a software solution that offers a great user experience with its
intuitive user interface and simple design tasks. Users can make selections in 3D and receive user
guidance, making the software easy to use for both casual and expert users. The software also has
advanced modeling capabilities and provides fast and high-quality display, enabling users to work
with ease and efficiency. In addition, 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA is very quick to learn and master
for existing CATIA V5 users, making the transition process smoother. Users of all types can
benefit from the software, with casual users finding it easy to use, expert users being very
productive, and existing CATIA V5 users experiencing higher productivity in solid and surface
modeling. The software also offers optional easy UI customization for further convenience.
Overall, 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA provides a great user experience that enhances productivity
and supports users of all levels.
1.2 TOOL BARS
Many standard toolbars are used in the different modes like sketcher mode operational
mode etc, In 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA software. Here we discuss the tool bars used in sketcher
with some examples.
1.2.1 Sketcher Work Bench Tool Bars
There are three standard tool bars found in the Sketcher Work Bench. The three tool
bars are shown below. The individual tools found in each of the three tools are labeled to the right
of the tool icon. Some tools have an arrow located at the bottom right of the tool icon. The arrow
is an indication that there is more than one variation of that particular type of tool. The tools that
have more than one option are listed to the right of the default tool. To display the other tool
options, you must select and hold the left mouse button on the arrow as shown in

1.2.4 SPECIFYING THE WORK PLANE

The next step is to create a 2-dimensional profile of the part. The Sketcher Work
Bench is a two-dimensional (planar) work area. To use the Sketcher Work Bench, you must
specify which plane the profile is to be created on. Specifying, the plane can be done several
different ways.

1.2 MODIFYING THE PROFILE USING CHAMFER

The Chamfer icon is also located in the Operations tool bar. This procedure assumes you
know what a chamfer is. The steps required to create a chamfer are almost identical to creating a
corner. Select the Chamfer icon.
The command prompt at the bottom left hand of the screen, will prompt you with the
following: “Select the first curve, or a common point”. For this exercise select line 5. The next
command prompt will ask you to “Select the second curve”.

1.3 Constraint

1.4 Figure 1.6 Sketch Constraining

 This tool allows you to create individual constraints, one at a time. You have already applied a
constraint and may not even know it. The Anchor icon is a constraint. The values attached to the
Chamfer and Corner are constraints. To apply Dimensional Constraints, complete the following steps:
1. Select the Constraint icon.

2. Select the line and/or Sketcher element to be constrained.

3.The Sketcher element will turn green (constraint symbol) along with the appropriate dimension
and box with the value in it. To re-locate the constraint value, select the value box and drag the
mouse to the desired location.

4. If the initial location of the constraint is not satisfactory re-select the dimension and drag and
drop it at the new location.
5. To edit the value of the constraint double click on the value box. This will bring up the
Constraint Definition pop up window shown in. This window shows the existing value forth
Sketcher element. This value can be edited by typing the new value over theexisting value.
Then select OK or hit the Enter key. The entities linked to the constraint will automatically be
updated to the new value.

6 If the constraint is between two different entities, such as lines, select the first line and then the
second line. 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA will constrain the distance between the two entities. The
constraint value will appear near the constraint. To move the constraint value. For this lesson
constrain your “L Shaped Extrusion” like the one shown in Figure
