CSWP Surface Modeling 2

Question 1

Which SOLIDWORKS surface feature creates a surface by sweeping a profile along a path while maintaining a constant cross-section?

Accepted Answer

Sweep Surface

Answer

Sweep Surface moves a profile along a defined path curve to generate the surface geometry.

Question 2

When using the Boundary Surface feature, what does the Direction 2 set of curves control?

Accepted Answer

Cross-sectional guide curves perpendicular to Direction 1

Answer

Direction 2 curves act as guides that run perpendicular to Direction 1, giving the surface additional shape control.

Question 3

What is the purpose of the 'Trim Surface' tool in SOLIDWORKS?

Accepted Answer

Removes portions of a surface using sketch entities or other surfaces as cutting tools

Answer

Trim Surface uses sketch geometry or other surfaces as cutters to remove unwanted portions of a surface.

Question 4

When applying a Filled Surface in SOLIDWORKS, which constraint option forces the fill surface to be tangent to adjacent faces?

Accepted Answer

Tangent

Answer

The Tangent constraint in Filled Surface makes the new surface meet adjacent faces with G1 tangency continuity.

Question 5

Which command would you use to add thickness to an open surface body and convert it into a solid?

Accepted Answer

Thicken

Answer

The Thicken command takes a surface body and adds material in one or both normal directions to create a solid.
