 Pattern
Tables (102)Time: 1 hour
|
Description: In this
session, many perceived pattern limitations will be overcome by creating a Pattern
Table also known as a To Table pattern.
The resulting pattern will have a new level of flexibility. For example, this
session will include specific information to delete selected instances of a pattern.
Moreover,
the location of select instances will be modified without moving the
location of other instances. Finally,
the Writing and Reading of Pattern Tables will also be
discussed. Prerequisite: Basic
Design including a working knowledge of Identical, Varying & General Patterns. |
| Swept Blend (105) Time: 1 hour
|
Description: A Swept
Blend consists of multiple cross sections that are swept along a single trajectory.
It is a unique solution offering functionality not found in a Sweep, Blend,
or Variable Section Sweep. The optional element of tangency gives this
feature additional flexibility to create an aesthetically appealing surface. Due to
their similarity, it is not necessary to complete both Module 105 and 155. Prerequisite:
Basic Design plus 40 hours. |
| Variable Section Sweep (107) Time:
1.5 hour
|
Description: A Variable
Section Sweep consists of a single cross section that is swept along multiple
trajectories. The cross section will vary as it follows each trajectory. A Variable
Section Sweep is a versatile and therefore powerful feature. A savvy user will
often include a variable section sweep as a viable solution while brainstorming several
possible modeling strategies. Several solutions to the error message 'could not
setup sketching plane' will be covered. Trajpar and Datum Graphs
are not discussed in this session. Due to their similarity, it is not
necessary to complete both Module 107 and 157.
Prerequisite: Basic Design plus 40 hours. |
| Local Groups (113) Time: 1 hour
|
Description: A Local
Group should be considered upon encountering any difficulty with a To Table
pattern. A Local Group is a technique used to collectively manipulate
features. It can offer additional flexibility not found in a standard pattern. Prerequisite:
Basic Design plus 40 hours, and a working knowledge of Patterns. |
