So I hit tab once, typed 3 then tab again (or return) and I get a 8 mm diameter. Instead I drag, and while I do that I noticed that there are two numbers, the current radius and the change to the radius! Kind of cool. So next I think I want to try and change the size of something. Back in my day, adding a round to an edge took skill and experience!
This fillet pull thing scares me so I thought I’d confront it first. I started by reading my block with a hole back in. The big surprise for me is that there is no round or fillet command. What it is basically saying is if I pull on an object of a given dimension, it creates an object that is one higher dimension. Point pulls to a curve, a curve pulls to a face, and a face pulls to a solid. You can also drag a point with the Pull tool to draw a line on a sketch plane.” “Use the Pull tool to offset, extrude, revolve, sweep, and draft faces use it to round, chamfer, extrude, copy, or pivot edges. But there is so much in this operation that I feel like I will miss something critical if I don’t read up first. In this posting I feel like it would be a really good idea for me to really understand all the things Pull can do. A table of contents is here.Īs I explored ANSYS SpaceClaim in my first try, it became obvious that a lot of capabilities that are in multiple operations in most CAD systems, are all combined in Pull for SpaceClaim. If you have not read the previous post, start here. In this series I will share my experience as I explore and learn how to use this fantastic tool.
After over 31 years of CAD use, it has become difficult for me to learn new tools. This post is the second in a series on learning ANSYS SpaceClaim.
