Lesson 3 PROTRUSIONS AND CUTS Text The procedures for performing a Protrusion and Cut in Pro/ENGINEER are virtually identical. The primary difference between the Protrusion command and the Cut command is that a protrusion is a positive space feature, while a cut is a negative space feature. When you protrude a feature, you actually create a solid object. With the Cut command, an extruded feature removes material from existing features. The menu structure for both commands is similar. For both commands the following options exist: Instruction point Starting with Release 2000i, the Shaft, Slot, Neck, and Flange commands have been removed from Pro/ENGINEER’s Solid menu by default. The Configuration File option allow_anatomic_features set to Yes will return these commands to the menu. See the Configuration file section in chapter 2 for information on modifying this file. Extrude The Extrude option sweeps a sketched section along a straight trajectory. The user draws the section in the sketcher environment and then provides an extrude depth. The section is protruded the depth entered by the user. Revolve The Revolve option sweeps a section around a centerline. The user sketches a profile of the revolved feature and a centerline from which to revolve. The user then inputs the degrees of revolution Sweep The Sweep option protrudes a section along a user-sketched trajectory. The user sketches both the trajectory and the section. Blend The Blend option joins two or more sketched sections. The trajectory may be straight or revolved. Use Quilt Quilts are patchworks of surface. The Use Quit option turns a quilt into a solid feature. Advanced Common modeling options under the Advanced menu include Variable Section Sweep, Swept Blend, and Helical Sweep. Shown in Figure 3.1 is an illustration of how one section can be used to create an Extrude, Revolve, Sweep, or Blend feature.
