Project practice exercise

00:01

This is a practice exercise video solution

00:06

for this practice.

00:06

Let's get started with the supply dataset spur gear dash practice dot f three D.

00:12

The goal of this practice is to create a gear that is below 45 g.

00:16

So we need to get started first by going to our bodies

00:19

right click and take a look at the properties.

00:22

Make sure the physical material is aluminum and we

00:24

can see here that the mass is 49.88 g.

00:29

We want to reduce that mass to make sure that

00:31

it is below a specific amount in this case,

00:36

This gear has some counter waiting on it and it has some holes in it

00:40

to reduce the mass.

00:41

One thing that we can do is we can modify these

00:44

holes or reduce the upper portion to reduce the mass.

00:48

For this example,

00:49

the first thing I want to do is use some direct modeling techniques

00:52

to get rid of the champ for on the outside of this counterweight.

00:56

We're going to use modify and delete

00:59

and then we're going to select the upper portion of the body.

01:02

Use press pull and simply pull this down

01:07

next. We can go back to our body right click and check the properties

01:11

You can see here by removing a portion of the counterweight, we're now at 44.681 g.

01:18

You can play around with different ways to achieve the same results.

01:21

But once you have yours below 45g,

01:24

let's make sure that we do save before moving on
