MAE 244 : Dynamics and Strength Laboratory Fall 2005 Tutorial Material for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 With Integrated Pro/MECHANICA Tutorial 3: Modeling L-Shaped Rod and Performing Finite Element Analysis using Pro/MECHANICA Chuanyu Feng, PhD chuanyufeng@yahoo.com MAE 244 : Dynamics / Strength Laboratory Fall 2005 Chuanyu “tony” Feng 2 Introduction This tutorial is similar to Tutorial 2. The difference is that, in this part, you will use Sweep feature to make an L-Shaped Rod, and then apply proper boundary conditions and loads to analyze it. Create an L-Shaped Rod In this session, you will make a simple Pro/E part, and further practice the basic modeling technique: sketching and sweep. Starting Pro/E and Creating new Part 1. Start Pro/E Wildfire. 2. Click menu: File Æ New. A dialog will pop up (Figure 1) 3. Give a new name and/or description if desired. 4. Click OK button and Pro/E will create an empty solid part as shown in Figure 2. Figure 1. “New” Dialog MAE 244 : Dynamics / Strength Laboratory Fall 2005 Chuanyu “tony” Feng 3 Figure 2. Layout of an empty Pro/E part Sketch and Sweep 1. Click the “Top” Reference plan. This is where you draw a sketch. 2. Click the Sketch tool . All the information should be filled up (Figure 3) 3. Click Sketch button in Figure 3. 4. Now Pro/E is in the Sketch mode. This will allow you to sketch in the XZ plane 5. Close the References window by click close button (Figure 4). 2. Click Sketch tool 1. Choose TOP sketch plane MAE 244 : Dynamics / Strength Laboratory Fall 2005 Chuanyu “tony” Feng 4 Figure 3. Start a sketch: Options Figure 4. Start a sketch FYI: Insert and Sketch are the most useful tools. Some of them have a speed button in the Toolbar region. MAE 244 : Dynamics / Strength Laboratory Fall 2005 Chuanyu “tony” Feng 5 6. You can setup Grid and Snap options by Click menu Sketch Æ Options, check Grid and Snap to Grid options. Click the Green Check button: (Figure 5) 7. Choose the Line Tool on the right toolbar to make a sketch. To choose the Line tools, you can directly click the Line Tool in the Sketcher Tools region, or click menu Sketch Æ Line Æ Line. Figure 5. Sketcher Preferences and Menu Manager MAE 244 : Dynamics / Strength Laboratory Fall 2005 Chuanyu “tony” Feng 6 Figure 6. Draw the sketch 8. Draw two lines as shown in Figure 6 using Line Tool . 9. Change dimension; make it 10 and 3 as shown. (you can also change it later after you make the fillet). 10. Click Fit tool to redraw the sketch. 11. Click the Fillet tool to choose the fillet tool 12. Click on the two lines ( move the mouse near the corner of these two lines) 13. Double click the fillet dimension, and change it to 1. ( Figure 7 is the final sketch) Click the lines near here to create a circular fillet 1. Use the Line Tool to draw two lines as following 2. Use fillet tools to draw the tangent arc MAE 244 : Dynamics / Strength Laboratory Fall 2005 Chuanyu “tony” Feng 7 Figure 7. Final Sketch 14. If you want to change the dimension, double click on the dimension itself, then type in a new dimension. 15. Click Checkmark to finish the sketch. 16. Rotate the sketch by moving the mouse around while Holding middle mouse button down. 17. Now you have a sketch in the 3D space (Figure 8). Double click the fillet radius dimension to change it to 1 This will be the final looking of the trajectory sketch used to generate an L- Shaped Rod MAE 244 : Dynamics / Strength Laboratory Fall 2005 Chuanyu “tony” Feng 8 Figure 8. 3D view of the Sketch 18.
