Extrude is the most basic way to create a part in pro/E or any other software.
Lets now start from the very first step after opening the software.
-
Set the working directory;click the option below and select a folder where you want your designs to be saved.
-
Select [File] —> [New] from the menu bar. The dialog shown below will pop up.
-
Uncheck use default template option and pres ok,select units mmns/inlbs based on your requirement. :
!- Start up with this file to proceed with the tutorial—> prt0033.prt.1
- Select the extrude option from [insert]--->extrude as shown!
- Define the plane and the direction in which you want to extrude!
click on define!
Select the plane (gets highlighted like in the pic );choose the direction (arrow mark in blue) and then press sketch
- For this part you need to give some references (it’ll ask automatically).Pro/E takes edges / axis as a reference.So just click on some edges / axis till it gets highlighted and press ok and tthen close.!
!
- Now you have to sketch a closed shape using the tool bar at the right ------------>
(You can create a center line for getting symmetrical shapes)double click on the default value(weak) shown to give it a dimension(strong).
- After drawing a ‘closed’ shape click on the tick mark------------------------>
!
!
- No give a height to the protrusion and press
You can also select the type of protrusion you want to make:!
like solid/hollow…/flip the direction/extrude cut/set thickness (last three consecutive options at the left in the abovediagram)
strong dimensions—>having strong dimensions is advisable coz weak dimensions can change while adding more features.
Now you are done with extrude and this is what i got!!
