endlasuresh Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 I am back after so many days anyway i was trying to draw this wheel.can somebody tell me how to draw those arcs which in center.thir are five buti need six arcs to be drawn. Quote
JD Mather Posted May 30, 2011 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
endlasuresh Posted May 31, 2011 Author 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
JD Mather Posted May 31, 2011 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
endlasuresh Posted June 1, 2011 Author 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 ? Quote
endlasuresh Posted June 2, 2011 Author 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 Posted June 2, 2011 got enoough extrudes? just saying should be lees then that to get this part done Quote
shift1313 Posted June 2, 2011 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
JD Mather Posted June 3, 2011 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
endlasuresh Posted June 3, 2011 Author 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 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

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. Quote

Sorry but there is no way for me to save it as a previous version unfortunately. If i get the chance later I will take some video of the process for you. Quote
endlasuresh Posted June 4, 2011 Author Posted June 4, 2011 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
shift1313 Posted June 6, 2011 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

I need to know what kind of teeth they are and what kind of gear it is. ( try the user library in solidworks you have to sign up but it is worth it Quote
endlasuresh Posted June 7, 2011 Author Posted June 7, 2011 I have readed your tutorial but spline is breaking angle of arcs.i am not getting an ide how to use this spline for that arcs.I have did it through tangent arc but this too not looking good. Quote
shift1313 Posted June 9, 2011 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
