video description in this tutorial we will model the multiple steps shaft
0:56
without creating the sketch with the help of a shaft design wizard so let's
1:01
start our tutorial I will close this file I will go to the part design first
1:08
I will create a new file then go to the part design and I will click on shaft
1:13
design wizard so here you can see that diameter of a 50 and 60 length shaft has
1:27
been created and I can add multiple steps to my shaft for this click on the
1:36
column and then click on add column then again click and click on add column so
1:41
you can see that steps is getting added then you can click and then add column and then add column so
1:55
this way you can create the multiple steps shaft and from here you can
2:01
modify the values of each steps like length you can change the length from
2:07
here diameter you can change from here if you have the inner diameter then you
2:15
can also give from here and if you are not to plot some graph then you can also
2:24
get the graph from here but I am not going much into deep about the constraint
2:33
type so here we have created a shaft just by copying the column and changing
2:44
the value now let's see what happens if we click on ok so once you click on ok
2:51
so you can see that our revolve shaft has been created here the best thing
2:56
about this design wizard is a sketch has been created and once you click on edit
3:05
sketch then you can get the diameter and length of each step and you can easily
3:13
modify it from here so this is how you can model the multiple step shaft in
3:24
