Lab Exercise 1: Creating Additional Surfaces onthe Bottle

Objectives

After successfully completing this exercise, you will know how to:

Create parametric surface features using basic surfacingtechniques.

Scenario

You have been assigned to work on the design of a bottle. You use

various techniques in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 to create basic

parametric surfaces features in the bottle.

Task 1. Open and review the BOTTLE_MAIN_SURFS.PRT.

1. Start Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire if necessary.2. In the Folder Browser , browse to the following folder:

C:\ users\ student\ Surface_WF2\ module_01.

3. Click on the module_01 folder to view the contents of the folderin the browser.

4. Right-click on the module_01 folder and select Set WorkingDirectory.

5. Select the BOTTLE_MAIN-SURFS.PRT from the browser topreview the model, then click Open in Pro/ E .

Notice the model already contains the main body surfaces. These

surfaces were created with two variable section sweeps, a boundary

blend, and a mirror feature.

You will create these main body surfaces later in the course.

10. Click Accept from the menu manager. Enter 10 as the offset value. Click Close from the Type dialog box.11. Select the lower-right vertex, right-click and select Start

Point.

The direction of the arrow does not need to match, it is the

location of the start point that is important. You can query to the

13. Use the Entity Offset From Edge tool to repeat theprevious procedure, offsetting the chain of edges a value of8.

Click Close from the Type dialog box.

14. Select the lower-right vertex, right-click and select StartPoint


15. Right-click and select Toggle Section. Sketch as shown inthe following figure:

Right-click and select Circle. Sketch a circle as shown. Edit the dimension values as shown.

Task 4. Create an Extrude forming the opening of the bottle.

1. Click Datum Planes in the main toolbar to enable theirdisplay.

2. Start the Extrude Tool from the feature toolbar.3. With the dashboard open, start the Datum Plane Tool from

the feature toolbar.

Select the edge shown in the following figure. Click the yellow arrow to flip the positive direction of the datum

plane upwards.

Click OK from the Datum Plane dialog box.

4. With the datum plane still selected, start the Sketch Tool . Select datum plane RIGHT as the orientation Reference. Select Right as the Orientation direction and click Sketch. Click Close from the References dialog box and click Yes . Press CTRL + D to orient to the standard orientation.5. Sketch as shown in the following figure: Click Entity From Edge from the sketcher toolbar. Click Chain and then select the two edges shown on the left. Click Next to highlight the chain shown on the right.

6. Click Accept from the menu manager, and then click CompleteSketch .

7. Click Resume Feature from the dashboard. Drag the depth handle to 20.

Click Surface from the dashboard, and select the Optionstab.

Notice the option for Capped Ends is available (but dont selectit).

Click Complete Feature . Notice that the DTM4 and Sketch 5 are automatically hidden

within the group.

The top portion of the bottle could have been created with a 5thsection in the previous blend feature. In this case, the Extrude tool

was used for training purposes.

8. Select DTM1 from the model tree, then right-click and selectHide

Task 5. Create a sweep to form the handle of the bottle.

1. Start the Variable Section Sweep Tool from the featuretoolbar.

2. With the dashboard open, start the Sketch Tool . Select datum plane FRONT and click Sketch. Click No Hidden from the main toolbar, then click Datum

Planes to disable their display.

Click Xsec from the References dialog box and select the twosurfaces shown in the following figure.

The Xsec option intersects the selected surface with the sketching

plane to create a sketcher reference, and can be used in situationswhen standard references are not selectable.
