Hello friends welcome to Solid Works
0:02
tutorial and in this tutorial we will do
0:05
a sketching exercise in solid works we
0:08
have the drawings of a friction plate
0:11
and we will do sketching of this
0:13
friction plate you can also visit my
0:16
website macn nexus.com and you can visit
0:20
this solid works tutorials tab where I
0:23
have a written so many tutorials on
0:27
solid works where you can follow the
0:29
step by step
0:30
guide to model the
0:33
parts if you like my method of teaching
0:36
then you can also support me on kofi.com
0:39
you can buy me a cup of coffee your
0:43
small support will help these channels
0:45
to grow and it will motivate me to
0:48
create more awesome content on solid
0:50
works so let's come back to our
0:55
tutorial and this tutorial is about the
0:58
sketching so we are not going to extrude
1:00
this friction plates we will learn the
1:02
fundamentals of uh sketching in a solid
1:05
works we will learn the polar pattern as
1:07
well in this
1:09
sketch so let's start our tutorial so I
1:13
will create a part file click on okay
1:17
and I will uh select my front plane and
1:21
click on the
1:24
sketch so first here we will uh create
1:28
the outer boundary and then we will uh
1:32
trim this one this portion and then we
1:36
will create the internal features and
1:39
then we will do the polar pattern of
1:42
these
1:43
holes so first we will read the drawing
1:46
as we can see that our outer body
1:48
diameter is a
1:50
154 so I will select the
1:53
circle and uh create a
1:57
circle and before that my unit is in an
2:00
inch so I will change to the
2:05
millimeter I will again edit my
2:08
sketch click on Smart
2:10
dimensions and I will give my diameter
2:18
154 and
2:21
now this is the outer one the inner one
2:26
diameter is a
2:30
we will read it which is uh 122 here it
2:34
is given so we will click on the
2:38
circle create one more
2:40
Circle and give it a diameter of
2:48
122
2:53
122 I will move the diameter Dimension
2:57
to the outside
3:00
and
3:02
now we will uh create this
3:05
feature for this we require the
3:08
construction line so we will select the
3:10
line tool and uh create a horizontal and
3:14
vertical
3:16
line again select the line tool and draw
3:20
one horizontal
3:24
line now I will select both the lines
3:28
and uh click on the for
3:33
construction and
3:35
now if you see here this uh angle is of
3:42
30° so we will click on the line tool
3:47
and draw the
3:49
line two
3:51
lines one more line on the other
3:58
side and now
4:01
we will uh select smart
4:05
Dimension and uh give it
4:10
uh
4:13
15° and the outer one will be the
4:20
30° here we will Interlink the dimension
4:23
we will double click on 15° press the
4:26
equal symbol and click on this 30°
4:31
and type divide by
4:34
2 so
4:36
now this Dimension is half of our
4:41
30° now we will click on the trim
4:44
entities and select this trim to
4:47
closest trim this one this
4:51
one this one and this
4:54
one as you can see that uh these
4:58
dimensions are not fully constrain
5:01
because this does not have a relation
5:03
with the
5:04
origin so what we will do we will create
5:07
a
5:10
line and join
5:12
this similarly create one more
5:16
line and uh join
5:20
this now I will make this two lines as a
5:24
construction line
5:31
and now if you see this is the
5:35
moving so we will select this two lines
5:38
and uh make it cool
5:41
linear similarly this line and this line
5:45
and make it co
5:47
linear now these are the construction
5:49
line these are the not the part of our
5:52
sketch and now we will trim this line so
5:56
we will again select the trim tool and
6:00
and dream
6:04
this now we will also trim this
6:14
one now we
6:17
will use the polar pattern
6:21
feature so click here and click on the
6:25
circular sketch pattern and here or
6:29
origin point we will select because we
6:31
wanted to pattern it
6:33
from our origin Center entities to
6:38
pattern we want pattern this one this
6:41
one and this
6:43
one and we
6:47
will click on
6:50
okay now you can see that we have the
6:53
four patterns but we do not require
6:55
these entities here so we will again
6:58
click on the trim tool and uh click on
7:01
trim to closest we will trim this one
7:06
similarly this
7:14
one this one and this
7:18
one now we will uh create this internal
7:27
feature now first we will will create a
7:30
diameter of a 50 so click on the
7:34
circle create one
7:41
Circle and give it a diameter of a
7:49
50 and now we can see that here is angle
7:53
given
7:54
45 so we will select a line
7:58
tool and and create a
8:02
line and we will select this line and
8:06
make it for
8:08
construction and now select the smart
8:11
Dimension select this line and our
8:14
construction line and give the angle
8:18
45 say
8:20
okay now the width is given the 12
8:26
mm and uh here it is given the 6
8:31
mm so what what we will do we will uh
8:35
create two
8:41
line again create one
8:48
line and we will make parallel with the
8:51
construction
8:52
line add the parallel relation similarly
8:56
select this and this
9:00
and click on the
9:04
parallel and now select the smart
9:08
Dimension select this one and this one
9:12
and do the dimension of a 12
9:16
mm and now select this one and this one
9:21
and give the dimension of a 6
9:27
mm and now
9:30
select the line tool and uh draw one
9:33
line and connect these two
9:35
points and now here select this line and
9:39
this line and add the perpendicular
9:44
relation
9:52
now here we are getting the rebuild
9:55
symbol which you can rebuild it but uh
9:58
as we are in a sketch
10:00
if you click on the rebuild then you
10:02
will come out of the
10:05
sketch then again edit the
10:09
sketch and
10:11
now you can trim it or make a
10:13
coincidence relations so it is better we
10:16
will use the trim
10:17
options we will uh trim
10:21
this this and this internal
10:25
portion and
10:27
now we can see here Dimension 6 mm is
10:31
given so we will select this
10:34
line select the smart Dimension and
10:36
select this
10:37
line and give it 6
10:47
mm now we will use the polar pattern
10:53
feature for
10:55
this again select create sketch p
10:59
pattern and from here the center we will
11:02
Define the our
11:04
origin and 360
11:09
4 and entities to
11:14
pattern this one this one and this one
11:19
and click on okay
11:24
now we do not require this
11:27
one so we will again click on the trim
11:31
geometry we will trim
11:34
this this and
11:40
this now we will come out of the trim
11:44
tool now we will make this
11:49
Force set of the
11:51
hole each set contain two holes which is
11:55
of a 30 and 30°
11:59
first we will draw the
12:03
PCD which is of uh
12:07
122 so we will
12:10
select the circle and create one
12:17
Circle we will
12:19
select smart
12:21
Dimension and uh give it 122
12:30
and uh we will make it a
12:35
construction and
12:38
now we will uh create two
12:42
circles one here and one
12:48
here and these are the 12 di hole of
12:54
eight
12:57
quantity so we will select the first
13:00
line
13:01
tool draw the two
13:13
lines now I will select this two and
13:16
make it a
13:19
construction now we will give the angle
13:21
of a 30 and
13:23
30 we will select this and this and give
13:28
the angle 30
13:34
T similarly select this and this and
13:38
give the angle
13:44
30 now these are the 8 mm sorry 12 mm of
13:49
8 quantity so we will give the diameter
13:55
12
13:57
12 and
13:59
we do not have a need to give the 12 mm
14:02
diameter to this one as well because we
14:05
can use the equal
14:07
relation press the control key select
14:10
this two
14:12
Circle you will get here
14:17
equal now we will use the polar
14:23
pattern select the sketch pattern and
14:27
again we Define our Center
14:31
360° of for
14:34
set entities to pattern select this and
14:40
this and click on
14:44
okay and
14:46
now if you
14:48
see this are in a
14:52
blue now we have a pattern it so
14:57
just give the angle
15:00
to make them constrain so this is the 30
15:04
30
15:05
60 so we will uh select the line
15:09
tool create a
15:13
line and make it
15:16
construction select this line and this
15:20
one and add the smart dimension
15:29
so this will be
15:37
60 so we have a fully constrained
15:43
sketch and we have successfully
15:46
converted this uh friction plate uh
15:49
drawing into the sketch and solid
15:53
works as it is a sketching tutorial but
15:57
uh if you want not to extrude it you can
15:59
extrude it so I will come out of the
16:03
sketch click on the extrude option
16:06
select my
16:08
sketch and here I will uh delete
16:13
this and I will say
16:15
okay so this is how we have made the
16:19
friction plate in solid works with the
16:21
help of a sketch as this is a sketching
16:24
tutorial it is not a right method to do
16:27
it because
16:30
whole features come with a whole feature
16:32
of a solid works and cut features come
16:35
with a cut features it is not
16:37
recommended to make the whole feature in
16:40
a sketch but this is a sketching
16:43
exercise in a solid works how to read
16:46
the drawings and create the sketches
16:51
with the help of relations and as per my
16:55
point of view you always Interlink the
16:58
dimension
17:01
in solid works while doing the sketch so
17:05
this is all about this tutorial thank
17:07
you for watching and thank you for your
17:09
valuable time
