Surface and Curve Analysis ? ?15 Evaluating Surface Models Introduction Creating models with high-quality surfaces often requires checking curve and surface quality using different analysis tools. To create aesthetically pleasing surface models, you need to evaluate model features using different analysis tools. To create a solid part from a quilt, you need to ensure that the quilt is thickened to the required thickness. You also need to ensure that the thickened quilt of the shell does not interfere with internal components. Objectives After completing this module, you will be able to: Define the need to evaluate a surface model. Evaluate and improve surface quality. Evaluate and modify the shape of a surface model. Evaluate the suitability of a thickened surface model. Evaluate the suitability of a surface model for production. Evaluate a surface model to avoid interferences. Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire ? ? ? ? ? ? Page 15-1 Module 15 Classroom Exercises Exercise 1: Evaluating the Quality of the Razor Body Surfaces Objectives After successfully completing this exercise, you will know how to: Evaluate the quality of a surface. Modify a surface to improve quality. Assumptions Background You will continue to develop the razor model. To create a smooth and high-quality surface model, you will use various analysis tools to assess the model quality. Step 1. Visually inspect the surface quality. 1. 2. 3. Set the working directory to C:\\ users\\ student\\ surfacing_330\\ module_15 \\ shaver. Open BODY_MASTER.PRT. Inspect the surface model. Notice that the surface displayed is smooth without any noticeable deformation. Figure 2: Shaver surface model Step 2. Use the Porcupine tool to inspect the surface quality. 4. Begin analyzing the upper surface of the shaver body. Launch the Surface Analysis tool. Click Analysis > Surface Analysis. Under Type, select Porcupine. Select the surfaces of the Upper Body one by one. Page 15-2 ? ? ? ? ? ?……
