Lab Exercise 2: Creating the Intake Cover
Objectives
After successfully completing this exercise, you will know how to:
 Create basic parametric surface features.
Scenario
You have been assigned to work on the design of a new intake cover.
You create basic parametric surface features using rotational and
general blend tools.
Task 1. Create the INTAKE_COVER.PRT.

1. Click New from the main toolbar.
 Enter INTAKE_COVER.
 Click OK.
2. Click Datum Planes in the main toolbar to enable their
display if necessary.
Task 2. Create a surface using Rotational Blend.
1. Click Insert > Blend > Surface from the main menu.
2. Click Rotational > Done from the menu manager.
3. Accept the default attributes by clicking Done.
4. Select datum plane FRONT and click OK > Default.
5. Click Close from the References dialog box.
6. Click Datum Planes in the main toolbar to disable their
display.
For this rotational blend surface you do the following:

Sketch the sections in separate windows.
Orient the sections by specifying rotational angles about the Y-axis of
sketched coordinate systems in each section.
Control the radial distance of the sections by dimensioning them from
the sketched coordinate systems.

 Select Cover.sec and click Open.
 Enter a Scale of 1.0 in the Scale Rotate dialog box.
 Zoom in on the section. Right-click on the ‘X’ shaped placement
handle, and place it on the intersection of the centerlines as
shown in the following figure.

8. Select on the placement handle and move the section to snap to

the intersection of the references.
 Click Accept Changes from the Scale Rotate dialog box.
 Notice the Sketcher coordinate system to the left of the sketch.

9. Click Complete Sketch to proceed to the next section.

 Enter a rotation angle of 60 for section 2.
 Edit the offset dimension from the coordinate system, from 15 to
25.
 Edit the width dimension from 80 to 90.
 Edit the height dimension from 42 to 47.

 Type Y at the prompt and press ENTER.

Task 3. Create a surface using a General Blend.
1. Click Insert > Blend > Surface from the main menu.
 Click General > Done from the menu manager.
 Accept the default attributes by clicking Done.
 Select datum plane FRONT from the model tree and click Flip >
OK.
 Click Top from the menu manager and select datum plane TOP
from the model tree.
 Press CTRL + D to orient to the standard orientation.
2. Click Close from the References dialog box.
For this general blend surface you do the following:

Sketch the sections in separate windows.
Orient the sections by specifying rotational angles about the X,Y, and Z
axes of Sketched coordinate systems in each section.
Specify the translation (depth) along the Z-axis between each section.
Specify tangency at one end of the blended surface to the adjacent
surfaces.
3. Click Entity From Edge from the sketcher toolbar.

 Select the five edges as shown in the following figure.
 Click Close from the Type dialog box.
 Select the lower left vertex, right-click and select Start Point.
 Click Coordinate System from the sketcher toolbar, and
place as shown.
Figure 26: Section 1

 Enter a rotation angle of -30 for X.
 Enter a rotation angle of 30 for Y.
 Enter a rotation angle of 20 for Z.
5. Click Point from the sketcher toolbar, and place one in the
center of the screen.
If no entities exist when placing a saved section, the Scale Rotate

dialog box does not appear. The sketcher point was placed in order to
easily scale the section using the Scale Rotate dialog box. If desired,
the sketcher point could then be deleted.
 Select Cover_2.sec and click Open.
 Right-click on the ‘X’ shaped placement handle, and place it on
the coordinate system as shown in the following figure.
Figure 27: Moving Placement Handle
7. Select on the placement handle and move the section to snap to

the sketcher point.
 Click Refit from the main toolbar.

9. Click Point from the sketcher toolbar, and place one in the
center of the screen.
 Right-click on the placement handle, and place it on the
coordinate system.
 Select on the placement handle and move the section to snap to
the sketcher point.

12. Click Point from the sketcher toolbar, and place one in
the center of the screen.
 Right-click on the placement handle, and place it on the
coordinate system.
 Select on the placement handle and move the section to snap to
the sketcher point.
14. Click Complete Sketch , then type N at the prompt and

press ENTER.
 Enter a depth for section 2 of 55.
 Enter a depth for section 3 of 52.5.
 Enter a depth for section 4 of 50.
15. Click Preview from the dialog box to preview the Straight
option as shown in the following figure.
 Double-click Attributes and click Smooth > Done.
 Click Preview from the dialog box.

16. Notice the blend is not tangent where it meets the

previous blend surface.
17. Double-click Tangency.
 When the first edge highlights (as shown on the left), select the
adjacent surface (as shown on the right).
