This tool is similar to revolved boss / base tool in SolidWorks. here we revolve a open / closed profile w.r.t an axis. To demonstrate how to to use this, create a line of 10mm in length and 20 mm…
Extruded Surface in SolidWorks
This tutorial is about extruded surface feature in SolidWorks. This tool is similar to extrude feature in part modeling. The main difference between both is that we are going to draw a surface instead of a part / body. Also…
Draw a Hex Nut in SolidWorks
In this tutorial we will be drawing N M12x1.75 hex nut. We use the following sketch as reference The dimensions are in mm.
How to Draw a hyperbola
This is curious, case where there is not standard tool in solid works to draw the hyperbola. To get the sketch of hyperbola we create a surface of the cone using revolved surface & a plane surface and create a…
Lofted Cut in SolidWorks
Like loft which fills materials across profiles in different planes, lofted cut is used to remove material across profiles. For starters let create a cylinder of 80mm in dia and 50 mm in length. You have to use extrude to…
Fillet Feature in SolidWorks
Fillet is another basic features used in part modeling. Fillet is similar to chamfer except it is use to round the edges / corners. In engineering fillet is use for avoiding stress concentration or to facilitate smother flow of stress…
