Derivative Models

Back Next

There may be situations when we may want to create a CAD model that is based on or has some relation to an existing model. For example we may want to create a new part for flat state of a sheet metal part or create a mirror copy of an existing part. For such derivative models Pro/E provides a number of tools. In this chapter we will discuss the following tools available Merge Feature Inheritance Feature Shrinkwrap Feature Mirror Functionality
EXERCISE 1 The topics covered are as follows. Creating a single component that represents the weldment of several components by using the Merge feature. Investigating the external references created by a Merge feature		Assembly of Components Weldment
EXERCISE 2 The topics covered are as follows. Creating a single component that represents the weldment of several components by using the External Merge feature. Investigating the external references created by an External Merge feature		Assembly of Components Weldment
EXERCISE 3 The topics covered are as follows. Creating an Inheritance model and suppressing the unwanted features. Creating a casting model for a part that will required machining operations later.		Finished Part Casting Model
EXERCISE 4 The topics covered are as follows. How to change the dimensions of features in an Inheritance model. Suppressing unwanted features in Inheritance part Adding features in Inheritance Part
EXERCISE 5 The topics covered are as follows. How to create a flat sate part of a sheet metal part by using the Inheritance feature.		Sheet Metal Part Flat State Part
EXERCISE 6 The topics covered are as follows. How to create a mirrored part		Source Part Mirrored Part
EXERCISE 7 The topics covered are as follows. How to create a mirrored part when it is slightly different from the source part.

Testimonials

"We purchased both of the tutorials about a month ago, and I have to say I was skeptical because they were considerably less expensive compared to the other available tutorials that I found. We had one of our CNC programmers and our lead mold designer evaluate them before we used these to train two new employees. Both engineers had very good things to say about the tutorials. Each said they learned or remembered things they hadn't used in a while and that the time they spent going through these was well spent. I have to admit I can't wait for this company to produce some more generic tutorials on modeling, assembly, surfacing, etc. In my opinion these tutorials represent a good value. I hope they're able to continue to produce good material and keep their prices in check."
