CSWP Advanced Features 2

Question 1

Which SOLIDWORKS feature creates a solid body by sweeping a profile along a helical path to produce a spring or screw thread?

Accepted Answer

Sweep with helix/spiral curve

Answer

A Sweep feature uses a profile and a path, and when a helix/spiral is used as that path, it creates spring coils or helical thread forms.

Question 2

When using the Flex feature in SOLIDWORKS, which deformation type bends a body along a straight axis by a specified angle?

Accepted Answer

Bending

Answer

The Bending deformation type in the Flex feature rotates one end of a body relative to the other around a defined trim plane.

Question 3

What is the purpose of the 'Thin Feature' option available in Extrude, Revolve, and Sweep?

Accepted Answer

It creates a constant-wall-thickness solid from an open or closed profile

Answer

Thin Feature adds a specified wall thickness to an open sketch profile (or around a closed profile) to create a shell-like solid without needing a separate Shell feature.

Question 4

In a multi-body part, the Combine feature with 'Subtract' operation removes one body from another. Which body is the one being subtracted FROM?

Accepted Answer

The main body

Answer

In Combine-Subtract, the 'Main Body' is the base solid that is modified; the 'Bodies to Subtract' (tool bodies) are removed from it.

Question 5

Which advanced sketch tool mirrors existing sketch entities about a centerline and maintains a symmetric constraint?

Accepted Answer

Dynamic Mirror

Answer

Dynamic Mirror automatically mirrors new sketch entities in real time as you draw them, keeping both sides symmetric about the selected centerline.
