Extrusion GUI Familiarity Level Required: Lower Estimated Time Required: 30 minutes MSC.ADAMS 2005 r2
Topics Covered In this tutorial you will learn how to: • Creating an extrusion from a b-spline • Creating an extrusion using the extrusion tool • Creating an extrusion from a curve • Shading your model • Creating a fillet • Creating a chamfer If you have any difficulties, import the “extrusion_shortcut1. bin” file and proceed from pg 10 If you have any difficulties, import the “extrusion_shortcut2.bin” file and proceed from pg 12 If you have any difficulties, import the “extrusion_shortcut3.bin” file and proceed from pg 17 If you have any difficulties, import the “extrusion_complete.bin” file and proceed from pg 19
Extrusion Problem Create 3-D extruded parts from spline, curves, points.
Create a Marker • Start ADAMS (Units = MMKS, Gravity = No Gravity) • Open the coordinate window and set the working grid spacing to 10mm for both the X and Y • Right-click Rigid Body tool stack, select Marker • Click origin (0,0,0), this is the starting reference for the spline. d c
