Parametric Modeling An Introduction Parametric Modeling Also called: Feature­based modeling Constraint­based modeling Parametric Modeling uses parametric constraints to define and easily modify part features, and to create relationships between these features in order to create intelligent part models. These virtual parts can then be combined to form assembly models. Features Basic unit of a parametric solid model A feature is a 3D shape. Parts are formed by their features Model features mimic actual design & manufacturing features (e.g., fillet, counterbore hole, draft angle) 2 basic kinds of model features: Sketched (e.g., extrusion, revolution, loft) Built­in (e.g., hole, chamfer, fillet, shell) No sketch required Parameters A parameter is a named quantity whose value can be changed For example, d0 = 10 Parametric dimensions: Control feature size Are easily modified feature geometry changes Establish relationships across features, parts, assemblies For example, d0 = d1/2 Constraints A constraint is a mathematical requirement placed on the geometry of a 3D model Kinds of part constraints: Dimensional – limits feature size Geometric – limits feature shape (e.g., parallelism tangency, colinearity) Assembly constraints (e.g. mate, insert) ... - tailieumienphi.vn
