Section 11 : Exercises
This section has the exercises to complete for assignment 1 (see appendix Section 12). For all exercises you will have to create: -3D model, -2D drawing with all dimension and highlight all detail, work in .drw and .pdf format. For the assignment 1 you will have to create: -On-line diary (see appendix Section 12) -Report (see appendix Section 12) Exercise 1 Draw a 3D model of the mechanical component, shown in figure 11.1.
Hints: to sketch the base of the model, you can follow the instructions given in Example 0 in section2, but in this case, you will have to draw three circles rather than two as shown in figure 11.2.

Hint: In the 2D model need to show all dimension of the component with different projection view also with section view if you retain necessary to highlight all dimension and details. Exercise 2 Draw a 3D model of the mechanical component shown in figure 11.4. The dimensions are in millimeters.
Draw a sketch of the appropriate surface of the component and then extrude to create most of the 3D model. In the 2D drawing need to highlight dimensions and details of the component.

When you sketch a tooth, the first step is sketch a centerline, then with the "line" feature draw a isosceles trapezoid, to set the inclination of the sides, use the features Smart dimension, click two sides the inclined line and horizontal line, it will obtain the angle between two lines. Use Linear pattern/ Circular Pattern to create all gear teeth from one single tooth. To do this select the cylinder face, input 360 for the angle, set the pattern number to pattern 22, and under features to pattern, select the tooth, as shown in figure 11.8.

To insert an inclination plane, follow instructions in section 3, sub-section 3.5. In this model you can use the feature Ribs. First insert a working plane in the middle of model, then draw two lines, as shown in figure 11.11, and use the feature Ribs.

Two lines
Hint: The figure 11.10 does not show a complete 2D drawing to submit in the assignment, remember when there is an inclined plane is necessary to use the auxiliary view.

Section 11 : Exercises
The first step is to sketch a circle in the frontal plane, with dimension 76.2 mm. Following this, extrude for 2.032 mm, then sketch another circle with radius 7.62 mm, then extrude for 38.1 mm. Sketch a profile of the blade by sketching two circles whose centre coordinates and diameters are shown in figure 11.15-16.

Figure 11.17 Extrude
Then insert two plane (Plane 1 and 2), as shown in figure 11.18.
Select the edges that you want to extrude, then click on Covert Entities, so it becomes a sketch, as shown in figure 11.19 (to convert entities in the desired plane, it is necessary create a sketch in the plane).
Convert it entities
In the plane two sketch the end of profile, as shown in figure 11.20.

Remember that a sketch must be closes to be extruded. Then use the feature Loft, explained in section 7, and select the two sketches that you designed. Now use the feature Circular Pattern, the axis is the cylinder with radius 7.62 mm, with angle 360 , and set the number of patterns to 12. Then extrude the shaft for 2 mm, and use the features to create a 2 mm fillet.
Hint: The figure 11.14 does not show a complete 2D drawing to submit in the assignment, remember to use the feature section view and highlight detail.
