Gasket: Presentation
In this exercise you will have the chance to try out various tools for Sketching and Constraining by designing a profile for a Gasket.
You will test the integrity of your Sketch by extruding the solid Gasket using the Pad tool from the Part Design Workbench
Finally, you will see how easy it is to modify a sketch

Design Intent: Gasket
A Gasket is a part used to make a joint fluid tight. It can be made of rubber, foam, or other industrial polymers that conform to the contours of adjacent parts thus providing an airtight or liquid tight seal between the parts.

Master ExerciseGasket (Step 1) - Sketching Simple Profiles
In this step you will:
Set up the Sketching Mode
Use Simple Profile tools to sketch half of the Gasket
10 min.
Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002 22
Do It Yourself (1/2)
Sketch the profile shown on the right.
The outer profile should be sketched with one use of the Profile tool. The Sketching mode should be set so that only Horizontality, Verticality, and Tangency Constraints are automatically created.
Place the circles roughly as shown. Turn off the automatic creation of Constraints and Dimensions when sketching the circles.

Hints: Go to Tools/Options/Part/Sketcher (in the Menubar) to set Grid Auto detection parameters
Switch Sketching mode in the Tools toolbar

Master ExerciseGasket (Step 2) - Sketching Pre-Defined Profiles
In this step you will: Add a slot on the Gasket
5 min.
Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002 25
Do It Yourself
Sketch the slot in the location shown on the right using a Pre-Defined Profile tool. Set the sketching mode to automatically create Horizontality, Verticality, and Tangency constraints
Save your model for the next step
Load: CATSKE_Ex_Master_Step2.CATPart

Master ExerciseGasket (Step 3) - Editing Profiles
In this step you will:
Edit the slot on the Gasket
5 min.
Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002 27
Do It Yourself
Change the center of the top arc on the slot to H=0 and V=20
Change the center of the bottom arc on the slot to H=0 and V=-20
Save your model for the next step

Master ExerciseGasket (Step 4) - Performing a Symmetry
In this step you will:
Create the symmetrical elements of the Gasket
10 min.
Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002 29
Do It Yourself
Perform a symmetry operation on the outer profile and the two circles (Refer to previous page) in one step.
Use AutoSearch to select the outer profile then use the CTRL key to select the two circles
Automatically create Symmetry Constraints (Hint: Turn on Dimensional Constraints Mode)
Use the Search tool under Edit in the Menubar to select all the Symmetry Constraints and No-Show them.
Save your model for the next step

Master ExerciseGasket (Step 5) - Fully Constraining the Gasket
In this step you will:
Completely constrain the Gasket by using a combination of Geometric and Dimensional Constraints
You will then create the actual solid Gasket using the Pad tool from the Part Design Workbench. Successfully creating a Pad will also help verify that your Sketch was correctly defined.
20 min.
Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002 31
Do It Yourself (1/4)
Create the Geometric and Dimensional Constraints shown on the next page.
Create a Relation between the two 10 mm radius dimensions.
Access the Pad tool in the Part Design Workbench and create a thickness of 5mm. for the Gasket. (Please check with the Instructor on where the Pad tool is located if you have trouble finding it)
Save your model for the next step

Do It Yourself (3/4)
Hints:
You don’t have to constrain the left side of the Gasket because the geometry there is already constrained by the Symmetry Constraints (in No-Show).
Put a Coincidence Constraint between the points that lie on top of one another where the right and left profiles meet.
This is a Coincidence Constraint between the center of this corner and the lower horizontal line.
These type of dimensions are all off the HV Axes (not the Symmetry Construction line of the Elongated Hole)

Master ExerciseGasket (Step 6) - Replacing the Sketch
In this step you will:
Modify the Gasket by replacing its Sketch with a new REV B Sketch
5 min.
Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002 36
Do It Yourself (1/2)
Replace your original Sketch for the Gasket with the other sketch.
Refer to next page for required result.
Save your model for your own reference.
