Solid Modeling conception..................

Solid Modeling conception..................

Hi,

Please, have a look at the picture below:






Let's say you are asked to create a solid model from the given features ( 2 sketches and a guide).
What workbench and feature would you use to create it:

A) Part design:
1. Multi-Sections Solid
2. Rib

B) Generative Shape Design:
1. Sweep:
- Explicit (3 different option)
- Line (7 different option)
- Circle (7 different option)
- Conic (4 different option)

2. Multi-Sections Surface Definition

C) Other tools

Thank you,

Multi Section Solid.

RE: Solid Modeling conception..................

It all depends on what else you plan to do with the result.

If the two profiles are the same, then I would use the Rib command. If the profiles are different, then I would use the Multi-Section Solid.

(I would also add a Spine curve)

Thanks Iscariot, thanks Jack!

c) why not adaptive sweep ?

but like Jackk already said, if at the end you need a solid then go with solid function, if you need surface or volume then go GSD...

Yup do it like the client wants and redo it over and over again :) just joking.

Thanks Tiago.

Although every person who answered knows this, I'd like to point out that for rib command, is not only the end-profile important (i.e. to be identical to start profile) but the position related to guide curve. In other words, the end profile might be identical with the start profile but a slight angle relative to guide curve will change the equation.
With all that said, I wouldn't use rib.

Thanks, Cilici.
So, what would you use instead?
