Exercise 1: Analyzing the Projected Surface Area of

Objectives
After successfully completing this exercise, you will be able to:
Create an area measurement analysis feature.
Scenario
nl
You are tasked with finding the lift of a prototype wing. In the past, this calculation was completed
manually using several pages in Microsoft Excel. However, this time you will complete this task using
several BMX features in Creo Parametric. In this exercise, you create an area analysis feature that
measures the projected area of the entire wing. As part of this analysis feature, you need to create a
parameter that reports the projected area of the wing along its leading edge. The projected area of
this parameter will change depending upon the wing's angle of attack, which alters the wing's lift.

Task 1:

The design specification of a fuel tank requires that it holds at least 0.35 liters of fuel. The design
specification also requires that the fuel tank is able to identify when it is half full. You are assigned to
ensure that the fuel tank meets these design specifications. In this exercise, you determine the
volume of the fuel tank. To properly estimate the volume, you create two BMX analysis features.
The first feature calculates the volume of the solid model prior to the creation of the shell feature.
The second feature calculates the volume of the shelled model. The difference of these two
volumes determines the volume of fuel that the tank can hold.

Task 1:

You are tasked with determining the suitability of reusing a turbine blade for a new turbine design. In
the new design, the turbine blade will need to be lengthened. Prior to lengthening the blade, you
need to determine the distance from the center of gravity (COG) to the inner surface of the blade. If
the COG distance is less than half the total blade height, then the blade is less likely to exert shear
stress on the final assembly. Therefore, in this exercise you need to create a datum point at the
location of the center of gravity. You also need to track the mass of the part for future calculations
and you need to create a parameter to track this value.

Answer: Either of the 25 dimensions would be good choices for feasibility and
optimization design studies from a sensitivity analysis standpoint. However, you should
select the lower 25 dimension (d119) because you simply decrease this dimension to
move the COG. This is advantageous because the part should still fit in its assembly.
