Solidworks Part Modeling and Features 1

Question 1

Which SolidWorks feature adds material by extruding a closed sketch profile along a straight path?

Accepted Answer

Extrude Boss/Base

Answer

Extrude Boss/Base creates a solid by extending a 2D sketch profile linearly to a specified depth.

Question 2

What does the 'Shell' feature do in SolidWorks?

Accepted Answer

Creates a thin-walled part by hollowing out a solid and removing selected faces

Answer

The Shell feature hollows a solid model to a specified wall thickness, optionally removing selected open faces.

Question 3

Which end condition in an Extrude feature extends the extrusion to the next solid face it encounters?

Accepted Answer

Up To Next

Answer

The 'Up To Next' end condition terminates the extrusion at the first surface or face the geometry intersects.

Question 4

In SolidWorks, which feature creates a solid by sweeping a profile along a curved path?

Accepted Answer

Sweep

Answer

The Sweep feature generates a solid or surface by moving a 2D profile along a defined 3D path.

Question 5

What does a 'Draft' feature add to a SolidWorks part?

Accepted Answer

A taper angle to faces to facilitate part ejection from a mold

Answer

Draft applies a taper angle to selected faces so the part can be released from a mold without sticking.
