Multi-length Pad Multi-length Pocket

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002

Multi-length Pad (1/3)

V5R8

You can extrude multiple profiles belonging to a same sketch using different length values. The multi-pad capability lets you do this at one time.

Select the Multi-length pad icon

The Pad Definition dialog box is displayed. You can see the number of domains to be extruded.

Select the Sketch. Note that all profiles must be closed and must not intersect.

Multi-length Pad (2/3)

V5R8

You can extrude multiple profiles belonging to a same sketch using different length values. The multi-pad capability lets you do this at one time.

A red arrow is displayed normal to the sketch. It indicates the proposed extrusion direction. To reverse it, you just need to click it.

Select a Domain in the list. This one now appears in blue in the geometry area.

Multi-length Pad (3/3)

V5R8

You can extrude multiple profiles belonging to a same sketch using different length values. The multipad capability lets you do this at one time.

Specify the length by entering a value. For example, enter 20mm. Repeat the operation for each extrusion domain.

Click OK to create the Multi-height Pad.

Note that you can multiselect extrusion domain from the list before defining a common length or thickness.

10

Extracting Geometry (1/2)

The Extract capability lets you generate separate elements from initial geometry, without deleting geometry. This operation may be especially useful to solve difficulties when drafting for example.

Use the Draft command to draft the pad with 10 as angle value for example.

Once done, the application informs you that the operation cannot be properly achieved.

Click OK to close the error message

Extracting Geometry (2/2)

The Extract capability lets you generate separate elements from initial geometry, without deleting geometry. This operation may be especially useful to solve difficulties when drafting for example.

A new dialog box displays providing you with a solution. You can deactivate the draft and extract its geometry. To do so, click Yes.

V5R8

Draft.1 appears as deactivated in the specification tree. A node "Extracted Geometry" is displayed in the tree too. This category includes the elements created by the application, namely five surfaces.

You can now use Generative Shape Design capabilities to complete the draft.
