Course Overview

Course Description

Industrial Design with Shape Studio is a method based course that addressesthe Unigraphics functionality used to define complex styling shapes using curvesand surfaces Generating creative designs consists of creating developed curves,complex surfaces with tangent/curvature continuity, blends, and transition

surfaces This course also introduces dynamic analysis and edit methods andadvanced visualization techniques

Intended Audience

This course is intended for Industrial Designers/Stylists and Lofters who have aneed to create complex styling shapes using curves and surfaces

Prerequisites

No prerequisite is required; however, a basic understanding of three

dimensional modeling and/or working knowledge of the Unigraphics user

interface is helpful but not necessary

Trang 12

After successfully completing this course, you should be able to perform thefollowing activities in Unigraphics:

D Create appropriate splines for surfacing

D Understand curve quality and utilize dynamic curve analysis tools

D Design studio-quality free form surfaces

D Understand surface quality and utilize dynamic surface analysis tools

D Utilize advanced visualization techniques to showcase product models

Student Responsibilities

D Be on time

D Participate in class

D Stick with the subject matter

D Listen attentively and take notes

D Practice on the job what you have learned

D Have Fun

Trang 13

Class Standards for Unigraphics Part Files

The following standards will be used in this class Standardization allows users

to work with others parts while being able to predict the organization of thepart file All work should be performed in accordance with these standards

Class Part File Naming

This class utilizes the following filenaming standard:

user's initials

(3 characters) part name(1 - 22 characters)

extension (4 characters) underscore delimiter

When the student is requested to save a part file for later use, the initials of the

student's given name, middle name, and surname replace the course identifier ***" inthe new filename with the remainder of the filename matching the original These filesshould reside in the student's personal directory

Currently up to 128 characters are valid for file names A four

character extension (.prt, for example) is automatically added to define

the file type This means the maximum number of user defined

characters for the file name is actually 124

TIP

Layers and Categories

The student will notice that there are 256 layers available and they may beutilized and organized any way the user sees fit

Trang 14

The following color defaults are preset to indicate different object types;

however, you may reset the default colors in any part file at any time

Bodies

Generating Curves (nonĆsketch)g ( )

Conics and Splines

gBlueSketches

Seed Part

Seed parts are an effective tool for establishing customer defaults or any

settings that are partĆdependent (saved with the part file) This may includenonĆgeometric data such as:

How to Use This Manual

It is important that you use the Student Guide in the sequence presented

because later lessons assume you have learned concepts and techniques taught

in an earlier lesson If necessary, you can always refer to any previous activitywhere a method or technique was originally taught

The format of the activities is consistent throughout this manual Steps arelabeled and specify what will be accomplished at any given point in the activity.Below each step are action boxes which emphasize the individual actions thatmust be taken to accomplish the step As your knowledge of Unigraphics

increases, the action boxes may seem redundant as the step text becomes allthat is needed to accomplish a given task

Step 1 This is an example of a step

- This is an example of an action box

The general format for lesson content is:

Obviously, it is always necessary for students to consider the classroom situationand be considerate of other students who may have greater or lesser needs forinstruction Instructors cannot possibly meet the exact needs of every student

Trang 16

Workbook Overview

The workbook is designed to lead the student through the aesthetic design of asnowmobile hood and windscreen using many functionalities of Unigraphics.During this activity, the student will use the artist's conceptual sketches tocreate, edit and analyze splines and sheet solids, apply materials and textures

to the completed model, add light sources and a background image and renderthe final product image

This project is intended to give the student a strong foundation in the

Unigraphics skills required to design studio-quality free form surfaces andshowcase the completed models using visualization techniques

It is the intent of this activity to allow the student to apply the skills taught inthis course; however, the time constraint of this course is also a factor At anypoint when progress is not being made, enlist the help of your instructor

Toolbars

The Unigraphics user interface supports the use of Toolbars to allow quick

access to most of the available functionality The functions are grouped by

common functionality and are displayed as icons Each application has a set of

toolbars which support functions within that application

NOTE: When the Unigraphics session is exited, the state of the Toolbars

is saved This will be the state displayed when the same user restarts

Unigraphics This is controlled by the Save layout at exit option under the

General tab in the Preferences→User Interface dialog box

Toolbars may be in one of two states The first is undocked (the toolbar is free

floating on the screen) The graphic below shows three toolbars in an undocked

state, located randomly by the user on the screen These toolbars are shown

within the Unigraphics window, but may also be located outside the window,

depending on screen setup

Opening Multiple Parts

More than one part file may be loaded at any time This means that several

parts may be worked on interchangeably There are two designations for loaded

part files:

D Displayed - The part file is displayed in the graphics area

D Work - The part file is quickly accessible for creation and editing

operations

In most cases the displayed part and work part are the same There are times

while working in an assembly, that it is advantageous for the displayed part to

be something other than the work part

To Change The Displayed Part

Unigraphics allows multiple part files to be open in the same session These

parts may have been loaded explicitly or implicitly, as a result of being

referenced by a loaded assembly The Window option works in two ways:

In the first method, an option for More Parts is selected This displays the

Change Displayed Part dialog box and lists all parts being referenced in the

current session, excluding the current displayed part This listing will include all

components in an assembly structure as well as any loaded parts not contained

in a loaded assembly

In the second method, a list of up to ten previously displayed parts is generated

as the displayed part is changed This list contains the latest displayed part at

the top (excluding the currently displayed part), then each previous part in the

order it was displayed, until a total of ten are listed To change the displayed

part to any of the parts in the list simply select the part from the list

Notice that there are no radio buttons for Inches and Millimeters in the Open

Part File dialog box The units of the file were determined prior to creation and

may not be changed within an active Unigraphics session A part file's units can

be converted using a program called ug_convert outside of the active

Unigraphics session

- Select ids_intro_1 in the file list box and choose OK, whichopens the file (or doubleĆclick on the file name)

Notice the Status Line It displays useful information as to what the system is

doing while the part file is retrieved, as well as other information pertaining to

the operation being performed

- Choose OK in the Warning dialog box to dismiss the ReadOnly message

Once the part is open the following actions occur:

D Options for viewing the contents of the file are available on the

menu bar

D The graphics area is now active, showing the model in the condition

in which it was last saved

D The title bar of the Unigraphics window displays the current work

part in brackets [ids_intro_1.prt] and that its status is Read Only,

meaning that changes may not be saved in this file

Trang 38

Step 3 Display the View, Selection and Utility toolbars.

- Click MB3 in the toolbar area and verify the View, Selectionand Utility toolbars are checked ON

The toolbars are displayed on the screen in a Docked state Remember thattoolbars may be docked horizontally on the top or bottom and vertically on theleft or right Locate the toolbars

Step 4 Undock and Dock the Utility toolbar

NOTE: This portion of the activity is simply meant to show how toundock and dock toolbars Whether toolbars are in docked or

undocked conditions the process for moving them is similar
