8.1 Objectives
In this lab, the students will learn about:
i) Use of Boundary Boss/Base tool
ii) Creating ribs using Rib tool
iii) Tapering the faces of objects with Draft tool

8.2 Boundary Boss/Base


The boundary Boss/Base is another useful feature in SolidWorks that interpolates shape
between profiles sketched at certain points. It’s very similar to the Lofted Boss/Base feature
and it is possible to create same geometry with both. However, there are some differences
between the two:
 Boundary feature has more options in terms of geometrical layout of the profiles and
guide curves.
 Boudary feature has curvature control over each profile unlike the Loft that allows the
curvature control only at the beginning and end profiles, but not at the intermediate
profiles. This difference is shown in the figures below.

Figure 8.2 Interpolation of profiles with Boundary Bose/Base

8.3 Rib Feature


Rib feature in SolidWorks is used to create ribs that are
stiffeners between angled walls or faces of an object to increase
the structural strength. Ribs increase the entire strength of a
component so that it does not break under an increased stress.
In SolidWorks, the ribs can be created using open as well as
closed structure. Following parameters can be defined while
creating ribs in SolidWorks:
Thickness Area: It is used to specify the side of the sketch
where the the material is to be added. First side, Second Side
and Both Sides buttons are available. The thickness of the rib
can also be defined.
Extrusion Direction: It specifies the direction of extrusion for
closed or open sketch that can be defined either the Parallel or Figure 8.3 Rib PropertyManager
Normal to the sketch and sketch plane.

8.4 Draft Feature


The Draft is a tool that is used to create slanted faces. The drafting of faces at an angle is used
for injection molding to allow pulling the molded part out of the mold cavity. To draft a face:
 Go to Draft in the Features Tab or Insert->Features->Draft
 Select the Draft angle
 Choos the Neural Plane that would define the Direction of Pull i.e. where the Draft
would start from
 Select the faces on which draft feature is required.
8.4.1 Draft Example
 Sketch a sqaure of dimension 3in x 3in on Top plane
 Use Extruded Boss/Base and give thickness of 0.5in.

Figure 8.4 (a) Object wtih dimension 3in x 3in x 0.5in

 Go to Draft in Features Tab, set the Draft Angle = 10°


 Select Top face as Neutral Plane and select the four side faces to apply Draft

Figure 8.6 Lab Task 1 Drawing

Rectangle:
First of all, I select a top plane and sketch it. After this, I draw a rectangle of the dimensions of
the horizontal distance is 50mm and vertical distance is 60mm:
Extruded boss/base:
After this, I used the command of extruded boss/ base and convert it into the 3D plane:

The final view by using this command is shown below:


Hole Wizard:

After this, by using the command of hole wizard and place these hles at different place with the
horizontal distance of 30mm between them:

The final view by using this command is shown below:


Fillet:

After this, we used the command of fillet to curve the corner of rectangle y the dimension of 10mm:

Extruded boss/base:

After this, we draw a circle of the dimension of the diameter of 20mm and extruded boss/ base it by
the 25mm:

After this, we draw an ellipse between the both of thses views of the dimension of 45mm horizontal
and 15mm vertical:

Tangent:

After this, we tangent the elipse and the rectangle view:
