This document provides instructions for exercises to model a knob in CATIA. It describes 5 steps: 1) generating the wireframe, 2) extruding basic surfaces, 3) performing operations like trimming and filleting, 4) analyzing and modifying draft, and 5) offsetting surfaces to create a solid with thickness.

Exercise
60 min.

Design Intent: The Knob

R=5 mm. Fillet all around

The Knob

Fillet varying from R=20 mm. to R= 10 mm.

In this exercise you will have the opportunity to model an appliance Knob starting from an empty model. You will create the supporting Wireframe and build the base surfaces for a quarter section of the Knob. Next, you will trim, fillet, and perform symmetry operations on these surfaces to obtain the complete Knob. You will then perform a Draft analysis on the surfaces to determine if the Knob can be extracted from a mould. In order to obtain a 4 Degree draft, you will modify a supporting line segment and will see the automatic propagation of this change through to the final Skin. Finally, you will see how to work in a Hybrid environment by creating a Solid by offsetting the Skin. A completed model Knob_Completed.CATPart is available for reference.

Rotate the part around. Put in a fillet varying from 20 mm. on the left to 10 mm. on the right. Apply a R = 5 mm constant EdgeFillet on the edges shown below.

Perform a Symmetry on the resulting EdgeFillet. Now, Join the two symmetrical parts. Perform a Symmetry on the Join and once again, Join the two symmetrical parts. Save your part as Knob_Step3.

Exercise
The Knob (Step 5): Offsetting a Solid
10 min.

Do It Yourself (1/2)

In this step you will see how surfaces are useful for creating complex solids. In this exercise you will specify an offset on the final surface to obtain a solid with a specific wall thickness. Change to the Part Design Workbench. Select the final join and create a 4mm Thicksurface pointing inward. No-Show the open body to see only the solid. Switch the render style to wireframe mode and look normal to the YZ plane. Notice that the offset of the 4 mm Degree drafted wall has resulted in a nonhorizontal footprint for the knob.
