KOMPAS-3D v23

A new solid in the model can be created in the following ways:

•build a solid using the objects available in the model using the build commands:

•extrusion — the body is formed by moving a section along a straight–line trajectory for a specified distance; For more detail: on extrusion...

•revolution — the body is formed by rotating the section around the axis at a given angle, More details on rotation...

• by path — the body is formed by movement of the section along an arbitrary path, For more details on building an element by path...

•by sections — solid is formed by connecting several sections, More details on building an element by sections...

• thickening — the solid is formed by adding a layer of material to the specified surface, More details on thickening...

•surface stitching — the solid is formed, bounded by the specified surfaces, More details about surface stitching...

•sheet solid — a special type of solid is formed — a sheet solid, More about sheet solids...

•build a solid in the form of a parallelepiped, cylinder, or sphere without using existing objects in the model, More details about elementary solids...

•insert the solid from the file of another model in the form of a blank part, More about the blank part...

After creating a new solid, "gluing" to it or "cutting out" additional volumes from it, i.e. add or remove solid material.

Building of the solid

a) new solid – a cylinder; b) "gluing" the prism;

c) "cutting out" the prism; d) "cutting out" the cylinder

Examples of material removal can include various holes, grooves, and channels, while examples of addition can include bosses, protrusions, and ribs.

Bosses and clamps are glued to the solid, slots and holes are cut from it

A model may contain several solids. With bodies, you can perform Boolean operations.

Using the existing bodies in the model, you can create new ones using array building commands.
