JD Mather Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Loft following arced rails on spoke. Then circular pattern. Zip and attach the file here of what you have been able to complete so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endlasuresh Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 here is the file i am not getting what you said to draw those curves.are their any examples like that.I searched earlier but could not aboe to get examples or tutorials. wheel.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 You are doing too much work. Leave out the portion between the hub and the wheel where the spokes will go. Revolve the wheel profile rather than all of those Extrudes. Are you familiar with the Loft feature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endlasuresh Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 I will remove the hub and i am not familar with solidworks.I did lofts earlier but not too much like my own drawings or shapes. leave that wheel and can you tell how to draw those arcs on square plate ?

endlasuresh Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 it looks like no replies. can some body tell me atleast to draw lines inside the circle instead of those arcs.The distance between the lines should be exact.I am thinking it is automate through circular pattern but still unable to draw.

clydemit Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 got enoough extrudes? just saying should be lees then that to get this part done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Here is one method. I revolved the hub and outer portion of the rim, then drew the spoke. In a case like this the part would be a simple injection mold so i would extrude from the midplane like i did only with a draft angle. I tried to keep the file simple so it could be uploaded. Take a look at the file and let me know what questions you have. SW Simple Rim (2).zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 it looks like no replies. Something like this? (Feature tree is saved in a rolled up state in attached. Pull down the bar to reveal the feature history.) Wheel_jd.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endlasuresh Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 hi matt I have got more help from you about learning solid works and the file you attached i am unable to open i think you are using 2011 version can you please make it for 2010 version. jd mather yes that is what i am planned to be drawn and when i used to open your file it says the file is for instructional use only.

JD Mather Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I just realized that I might have made my example more difficult than it needs to be with the loft. I was thinking a elliptical cross section profile (Although I use rectangular). Looks from the picture like it might be a simple Extrude. I'll try to post some pictures when I get a chance - but if it is an extrude this should be trivially easy to figure out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can upgrade to 2011 or just ask him for screenshots of the sketches which would help you make the part. But other then that i can think of anything. Sorry.

shift1313 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Sorry suresh I didnt have the time this weekend to do this. The part is fairly simple. The hub and outside edge of the wheel were done in a revolve. The "spoke" was done as an extrude using splines to define the curve. http://www.solidworkslessons.info/#!__sketching-spline For drawing a gear you will need more information than that. What kind of gear are you trying to draw? I suggest starting a new post with an appropriate title so people in the future can search for it. Please provide the info you have here plus any additional info about the type of gears. I will wait for your tutorial.I have searched on the net but theirs not one atleast.clydemit Do you know gear designing by using measurements.I searched for this too but Their are no answers and i am not a good searcher too.can you help me to draw this gear Number of teethes: 25 Outer Diameter: 40mm Inner Diameter: 33mm Gear thickness: 13mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to know what kind of teeth they are and what kind of gear it is.

shift1313 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 suresh, i made a video of this that im producing right now. I should have it uploaded shortly. I didnt spend much time on the actual shape of the spokes or any detail but i wanted to get you the info on how to draw this thing with some draft on it since you mentioned molding this thing. Im limited to 10-12 min videos for what im doing but if you need more detail/info just ask and i will try to elaborate on the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
