Angle Bracket
We will design this small bracket to practice the various ways of using both the Sketcher and Part Design workbenches for designing parts. One of the tools we will use in many different cases is the Sketching of a Profile and extruding Pads.
Setting Part Design Parameters

1. Create a new Part and select mm as model unit by going to Tools + Options + General + Units. 2. Set the Sketcher Primary Spacing to 20 mm. and graduation to 10 by going to Tool + Options + Part + Sketcher. 3. Go to Tools + Options + Part + Display and make sure Relations is checked. 4. Click OK and exit Option.
Defining the Pads for the Bracket

The views shown below are provided as an overall reference for dimensions and hole locations.
28
Detailed Steps
1. We will first define all the sketches / pads for the Bracket. We will start with the 3 mm. thin flange.
2. Select the XY plane and enter the Sketcher. Draw the first sketch using Rectangle icon dimension as follows:
and
29
Detailed Steps
3. Exit Sketcher and create a Pad
with height of 26 mm above sketch.
We will now create the base pad of the part:
30
Detailed Steps
4. Reselect the XY plane and go back into Sketcher. Use Profile
to sketch then constrain .
the new contour to the boundaries of the existing Pad and apply the appropriate dimensions
5. Extrude this second Pad to a height of 4 mm.
31
Detailed Steps
Defining the Pilot Holes and the Angular Pads for the Bracket
Next we would like to create the two angle flanges (clevis).
To create this geometry, we will require an angular Plane at 24 Degrees with respect to the YZ plane in order to sketch our profile. Since our drawing calls out the position of these flanges from the position of the pilot hole located between the flanges, we will make our plane pass through the center of this hole so that we will readily have available the values of the extrusion limits. Since our 24 Degrees Plane will pass through the center of one of the pilot holes, we will need to locate this hole in the model. Consequently, we might as well create all the pilot holes first. 1. Position the first hole by first selecting the reference edges, the Hole feature icon, and finally the top of the pad into which the holes are drilled. Put in the appropriate locating dimensions and the hole diameter per the part drawing at the beginning of this exercise. Use the Up to Next option.
32
Detailed Steps
2. Position the second hole by first selecting the reference edges, the Hole feature icon, and finally the top of the pad into which the holes are drilled. Put in the appropriate locating dimensions and the hole diameter per the part drawing at the beginning of this exercise. Use the Up to Next option.
3. Create the third hole by first selecting the rounded edge the Hole feature icon , and finally the top of the pad into which the holes are drilled. Put the appropriate hole diameter (3), the hole is automatically centered on the rounded edge. Use the Up to Next option.
We will now create the 24 Degrees plane through the center of one of the pilot holes. To do it, display the Plane icon by selecting the View + Toolbars + Reference Elements (Extended)
33
Detailed Steps
4. Select the Plane icon and create the required plane using the Plane Type of Angle/Normal to Plane. Select the vertical pad wall as reference and the pilot hole as the rotation axis for the plane. Put in 24 Degrees to get the desired orientation.
34
Detailed Steps
5. To redefine the PartBody as the In Work Object place the cursor on the PartBody in the tree then select the Define In Work Object command from the contextual menu.
6. Select the plane you just created and go into the Sketcher to create the following profile. As before, constrain the profile to the existing geometry and apply the appropriate dimensions.
7. Create a pad from this sketch with a thickness of 4 mm. (use the 2 limits option).
35
Detailed Steps
We will now create the other Clevis by using the Rectangular Pattern tool (you can find this tool under Insert/Transformation Features) 8. Click on the Rectangular Pattern Icon , select the existing Clevis, select the red edge below for the reference direction, and put in 2 instances spaced at 16 mm.
Defining the Clevis Through Hole and Fillets

1. In order to define a concentric hole, select the outside R 13 edge of the left Clevis, the Hole tool then the outside face of this Clevis. Put in 6 mm for the diameter and use the Up to Last option. ,
36
Detailed Steps
Use Edge Fillet to create all the fillets. pressed during selection.) 2. Create the R3 fillets (5 edges).
(You can multi-select edges by keeping the CTRL key
3. Create the R6 fillets (2 edges).
4. Finally, create the R8 fillets (2 fillets).

Building the Hinge

In this exercise, you will build the hinge part using the following tools: sketcher, constraints, pad, pocket, hole, draft, fillet, mirror and pattern. First we describe and discuss the methodology used to build the hinge; you dont have to read it - you can go ahead and build the hinge your way with the information given on this page.
1. Start a new CATPart.
39
Detailed Steps
2. Lets start with a basic triangular pad, it will be the main pad. Enter the sketcher on the XY plane . 3. Draw a rough sketch of the outer profile with Profile tool. Hint: draw the left edge of the triangle vertically in order to get the vertical constraint automatically.
4. Constrain
the sides as show below:

5. Exit sketcher and use the triangle sketch to make the main pad direction with a height of 7.5mm
in the positive OZ
6. Now, lets draw the pocket. Enter the sketcher on the bottom plane of the main pad
Note that we draw the pocket profile on the bottom surface of the pad because later we want to be sure that the pocket bottom face position is linked to the Hinge thickness if the thickness changes, the pocket will follow automatically. 7. Draw a rough profile for the pocket:

13. Now lets duplicate this first cylinder pad for the other bearings. We will duplicate it with a user pattern and not a simple copy & paste - to ensure that later if a modification is needed on the bearings, we will be able to do it only on one of them the others will follow automatically. Enter again the sketcher on the bottom surface of the main pad 14. Draw 2 points .
anywhere on the grid. Sketch.4 is added in the tree.
15. Make each of these points coincide (contextual menu) with each of the remaining vertices of the pocket triangle (you may need to move the orientation of the part to see the small triangle).

16. Exit sketcher and select the cylinder pad. To apply the pattern, click on User Pattern Sketch.4. Turn Keep specifications option on:
and
We will now stop working on the bearings to match the fabrication process: the holes are drilled at the end. 17. Now lets fillet , the six sharp corner edges with a common radius of 5mm:
