Shaft feature in CATIA V5:Shaft feature is used to create a solid component but in circular cross section only.To model a solid component,it requires a sketch but for the utilization of shaft feature we require a sketch and a central axis.In this article,I will be explaining about how to use Shaft feature in CATIA V5 in a detailed manner.
The step by step procedure is to be needed to adopt the usage of shaft feature in CATIA V5 and is as follows.
Shaft feature in CATIA V5-Procedure:
- Shaft feature in CATIA V5 has different profiles and they are as follows.
- Shaft feature with thick profile
- Shaft feature with merged ends and
- Shaft feature with neutral fiber.
- Note:The sum of two angles must not greater than 360 degrees and @that angle only it can make a circular component.
- For instance,to model a circular component a sketch of circular cross section can be made.
- Extrude it with the design requirements by using PAD Feature.
- Take any cross section and draw an axis that should pass through the central axis and now use the Shaft feature to make a circular component.
