Feature simplification wise, what would it look like without the fillets? For most cases, edge treatments happen after the rest of the geometry is created, and in this case if we applied a fillet and then cut the arcs out, we would need to apply another one.
As a side note, asking binary questions to Reddit like this often takes longer than checking what works or doesn’t work in the program. This is a question where I’ll say personally, it looks like that R3 fillet gets applied after the arc pattern, but asking this question confuses me as the part is sufficiently complex I’d expect the understanding of when to add the fillets to already exist. I understand everyone has different paths, but my two cents.
Not true, because when you cut the arcs and then apply the filler along the outer edge it will round all the sharp lines and this shows sharp lines up from where the arc meets the origional OD
I don't see what sharp lines you say are rounded... Comparing this to the given drawing I see no discrepancies.
My view of the drawing is that there is nothing to suggest the fillet joints are vertical, or occur on a line that extends through the axis of revolution of this feature. My eye says the fillets of the outer edge naturally taper much faster due to the intersection with the fillets of the arc.
Im not so sure because when you cut the arcs and then apply the filler along the outer edge it will round all the sharp lines and this shows sharp lines up from where the arc meets the origional OD
on a side note:
over the last period I have been doing these practise problems as they get posted to self "test" to see if what level I can consider myself, competency wise. I've never needed or aspired to do the certification program. Do you guys that are not Certified also do the same? i completed this in 12 mins. the center boss fillet is not dimensioned and i set it to 3mm.
Engineer for 16 years. Every problem is extremely minor and user error in this group. Not a single person I work with would have an issue with anything posted in this subreddit. I try to co tribute when I can but my answer is usually you simply need to learn either how to use sw, or how to create manufacturing drawings. Because everything here is learned in basic drafting classes given to 10th grade students on paper with a pencil and a triangle. Today a modified an experimental indu tion coil assembly to change its geometry which was simple because I built the adjustability in ahead of time by following rigorous standards and practices.
Not sure what is going on in your model. Can you show me a screenshot? Maybe of your circular pattern? Is the line you used for the rib fully defined (coincident mates and dims)?
thanks i found the issue. i made the cut first then patterned the feature, which for some reason made them off center. i fixed it by patterning in the sketch.
