Creo vs solidworks1/7/2023 2 – Motorcycle Frame Bottom Rail via Extrude Command Solidworks™ Sweep Command This parameter can be changed, hence the term "parametric design." As Mechanical Engineering Consultants we have many tools available to perform the most intricate of designs.įig. Solidworks™ represents the length with the parameter D11, visible in the figure. We extruded it to a specified length of 20 inches. Solidworks™ Extrude Commandįirst, we created the motorcycle frame bottom rail from a 2D sketch of two concentric circles (to simulate the tube profile and wall thickness). As is the case in most 3D CAD programs as well as Soldiworks™, one first creates a 2D sketch of a profile, then converts it into a 3D feature. In other design scenarios, any modeling method may do. Each modeling technique has advantages in certain design scenarios. 1 – Rigid Bobber Frame Components 3D CAD Software Sketching and Feature Generationįor comparison, as Mechanical Engineer Consultants we modeled the bottom rail portion of the motorcycle frame via three different techniques: (1) an extrusion, (2) a sweep, and (3) a weldment. We designed a simple bobber inspired motorcycle frame, this is conceptual, yet realistic enough to illustrate our points. In this week’s blog, as Mechanical Engineering Consultants we use Solidworks™ CAD software to model a portion of the motorcycle frame, a simple tube, while comparing three modeling techniques: We gave a brief history of the three CAD software packages that Glew Engineering employs: Solidworks™, Creo™, and Inventor™. Recall that in last week’s discussion, as Mechanical Engineering Consultants we introduced our plan to to model a motorcycle frame in three different 3D CAD software packages. Welcome back to our 3D CAD software comparison blog series. 3D CAD Software Comparison Blog Series: Starting the Motorcycle Frame Design in Solidworks™
