Context: You create an extruded cut into a three-dimensional part by sketching the two-dimensional cross-section of the cut on a selected face and defining the distance through which Abaqus/CAE extrudes the cut. You can select one of the following methods to define the distance through which the cut is extruded:
The three methods are illustrated in Figure 1. You create an extruded cut in a two-dimensional or axisymmetric planar part by sketching the two-dimensional cross-section of the cut directly on the plane of the part. The cut always passes completely through the part. When creating an extruded cut in a three-dimensional part, you can select a center point and specify a pitch that Abaqus/CAE uses to twist the cross-section as it is extruded. Alternatively, Abaqus/CAE can expand or contract the cross-section along a specified draft angle as the cross-section is extruded. For more information, see Including twist in an extrusion, and Including draft in an extrusion. |
