I took this test a week early and finished it in 5 minutes. The extra credit was for switching the perspective to 1st angle (UK standard) per instructions.

FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS

A simple example of our intro to finite element analysis.

The 3rd course in the certification will focus on simulations extensively and will involve creating reports to

improve design (either to improve safety or determine where a part is over-engineered to reduce cost).

Modeled a 1060 aluminum paper clip which has a yield strength of 27 MPa. For Comparison: human bone - 130 MPa, steel - 250 MPa, carbon fiber - 5500MPa

Applied 5lbf to tip with fixture on bottom and animated deformation

Yield Strength - Stress at which material begins to deform plastically Tensile Strength - Stress at which material breaks

FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS CONTINUED

Deciding on a factor of safety (depending on application)

Looking at the displacement measurement from the applied force

COMPUTER MOUSE SURFACING

DIMENSIONING & ADDING RELATIONS TO SPLINE HANDLES

SURFACE EXTRUDING SPLINES

BOUNDARY SURFACING

Step 1: A surface extrude is created based from the side profile of the mouse

Step 2: The vertical shape of the base is trimmed from the bottom of the extrusion

Step 3: Two construction surface extrudes are created with splines at the front and back

Step 4: The base of the mouse can then be surfaced via Boundary Surfacing as seen above

The height and angle of the top surface of the mouse is dimensioned

3d Sketch with coincident relations between base and top surface splines

CONVERTING ENTITIES IN 3D SKETCH

CONSTRUCTION LINES WITH 3D SKETCHES TO TRIM

FILLED SURFACE TOOL

KNIT SURFACE TOOL

Convert entities is used in 3d sketch on the previous 3d sketch and a vertical construction line is created to trim

The model is mirrored once all boundary surfaces are created on one side

Using the Filled Surface tool to create a bottom surface of the mouse by selecting the bottom edges

The blue selected surfaces are knitted together after surface trimming a .2mm gap between each section

COMPUTER MOUSE DETAILING

THICKEN TOOL TO CREATE SPECIFIC WALL THICKNESS

The Thicken tool allows unique wall thicknesses to be created for each of the knitted sections

Using the Selected Bodies option in a through all cut extrude to cut only the top knitted section of the mouse.

The wheel is modeled with a midplane extrusion and a surface fillet after sketching on the front plane

1mm deep notches were created on the wheel with a revolved cut using a construction line as the axis

This notch is circular patterned

around the wheel
