Solidworks Part Modeling and Features 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which SolidWorks feature removes material by rotating a closed sketch around an axis?
- Extrude Cut
- Revolve Cut (Correct answer)
- Sweep Cut
- Loft Cut
Correct answer: Revolve Cut
Revolve Cut removes material by spinning a sketch profile around a defined axis of revolution.
Question 2: What is the purpose of the 'Fillet' feature in SolidWorks?
- Adds a chamfer at a specified angle
- Rounds selected edges with a specified radius (Correct answer)
- Creates a round hole through a face
- Splits faces along a curve
Correct answer: Rounds selected edges with a specified radius
The Fillet feature rounds sharp edges or vertices with a specified radius to reduce stress concentrations.
Question 3: In SolidWorks, what does the 'Mirror' feature do when applied to a solid feature?
- Reflects selected features about a plane or face to create a symmetrical copy (Correct answer)
- Creates a pattern of features along a circular path
- Moves a feature to the opposite side of the part
- Scales a feature by a mirror factor
Correct answer: Reflects selected features about a plane or face to create a symmetrical copy
The Mirror feature creates a symmetrical copy of selected features, faces, or bodies about a chosen plane.
Question 4: Which SolidWorks feature creates a uniform array of holes or features in a straight-line arrangement?
- Circular Pattern
- Mirror
- Linear Pattern (Correct answer)
- Curve Driven Pattern
Correct answer: Linear Pattern
Linear Pattern repeats selected features at equal spacing along one or two directions.
Question 5: What is a 'Rib' feature used for in SolidWorks?
- Creating thin supporting walls between surfaces to add structural strength (Correct answer)
- Adding a fillet to all edges simultaneously
- Generating a helical thread on a cylindrical face
- Creating a hollow cavity inside a part
Correct answer: Creating thin supporting walls between surfaces to add structural strength
The Rib feature extrudes a thin structural wall from an open sketch profile between existing surfaces.
Question 6: Which end condition creates a cut that passes completely through the entire part in SolidWorks?
- Blind
- Up To Next
- Through All (Correct answer)
- Up To Surface
Correct answer: Through All
The 'Through All' end condition extends a cut feature through the entire depth of the part in both directions.
