Project 1: Hexagonal bolt sketch

Review date: Wednesday, February 4, 2009
Due date: Monday, February 9, 2009

In this project you will construct a fully constrained sketch of a hexagonal bolt, as shown below

Work with the partner as assigned by the TA. A list of the groups is availible on WebCT.

1. Sketch, by hand, at least two ways of constraining the geometry. Have these sketches ready for the Review Date!.
2. Using NX, construct a sketch of the hexagonal bolt cross section. It must be fully constrained and capture the following "design intent"
   • be centered on the axis of the sketch plane,
   • have the hole centered on the hexagon, and
   • be fully defined by one dimension across the flats, H, and the diametric dimension of the center hole, D.
3. Test your sketch by using the following dimensions
   

   H=0.125	D=0.062
   H=5.0	D=1.0
   H=5.0	D=8.0

4. Save your .prt file with the fully constrainted sketch and upload this to WebCT. Only one individual needs to upload the file in the group.
