You can sketch a
two-dimensional profile and extrude it to create the following:
A three-dimensional extruded solid feature.
A three-dimensional extruded shell feature.
A three-dimensional extruded cut feature.
Abaqus/CAE
provides the following methods for defining the extrusion distance:
Blind
Specify the distance over which
Abaqus/CAE
extrudes the sketch. The sketch and the distance define the feature and can be
edited using the
Feature Manipulation toolset.
You can use this method when creating extruded solid, shell, and cut features.
Figure 1
illustrates a blind extruded cut in a solid part.
Figure 1. A blind extruded cut.
Up
to Face
Select a single face to which
Abaqus/CAE
extrudes the sketch. The selected face does not have to be parallel to the
sketch plane. The selected face can be a nonplanar face; however, it must
completely contain the extruded section. If you select this method to define
the extrusion distance, only the sketch can be modified using the
Feature Manipulation toolset;
if you wish to extrude to a different face, you must create a new extruded cut
feature. You can use this method when creating extruded solid, shell, and cut
features.
Figure 2
illustrates a sketch extruded to a nonplanar face.

Through All
This method is available only for extruded cut features.
Abaqus/CAE
extrudes the sketch defining the profile of the cut completely though the part.
If you select this method to define the extrusion distance, only the sketch can
be modified using the
Feature Manipulation toolset.
