Rocker Arm Design Example
Step 3: Define the parametric geometry model
Using the ideas provided by Working Model Concept, a new part was created in the CAD system, as shown in Figure 5. Dimensions were created to alter key points of the design, such as flange width, flange and web thickness, and hole diameter. Figure 6 shows the new geometry overlaid with the mesh from Working Model Concept . This helps verify the new geometry is similar to the ideas provided by Working Model Concept.
