Geometry
For users of ANSYS 15.0, please check this link for procedures for turning on the Auto Constraint feature before creating sketches in DesignModeler.
In this section, we will go into DesignModeler, the geometry engine, to sketch each gauge of the rosette on the front face of the crank. We will then create surfaces for each gauge from the sketch. We first need to define a new coordinate system, as shown in the video below.
We then draw our first gauge and give it the proper dimensions.
This video will show you how to insert a midpoint which will be helpful to place the gauges at their correct locations. We will also show you how to copy your gauge to make the other two.
With the midpoints correctly defined and being static relative to the gauges, we specify their distances in the coordinate system centered at the front face of the support hole.
Finally, we orient the gauges and create surfaces from the sketch.
