Practice exercise

00:01

This is a practice exercise video solution

00:05

for this practice exercise.

00:07

We'll get started with the supply data set valve seat assembly dot I am.

00:11

This can be found in the assembly subfolder under the subfolder valve seat.

00:15

We're going to be creating a variation of the needle part.

00:18

So we'll right click on needle and select open

00:21

when we have the needle,

00:22

we're going to expand our model states because we want to create

00:24

a variation of this that has a different number of ports through it

00:28

to do this. We need to think about what features are included.

00:31

We have a circular pattern,

00:33

but we also have an extrusion that defines the size of the opening.

00:36

So the first thing that we want to do is right

00:38

click on model states and create a new model state.

00:42

We're gonna select, OK.

00:43

And remember that with model states,

00:45

we have a factory scope and we have a member scope.

00:50

The member scope will affect only features

00:52

in that specific instance or model state.

00:55

When we use the factory scope option,

00:57

it's gonna make adjustments to all of the parts inside of that design,

01:00

not just the single model state.

01:03

That's being active.

01:04

So we want to work in a specific model state, not for the entire design.

01:08

So we're gonna make sure to use edit member scope.

01:10

We'll go back to our 3D model tab.

01:13

The first thing that we want to do is change our circular pattern.

01:15

We'll right click to edit the feature

01:17

and change the number of instances to four.

01:21

This is going to reduce the number of ports.

01:23

And with this, we want to configure the sketch

01:26

inside of our sketch,

01:27

we've got an angle 22.5 degrees from center line with a total

01:32

of 45 degrees that dictates the overall size of the port.

01:35

What we want to do is edit our sketch

01:38

and change that 45 degree number

01:41

to 55 degrees. It's gonna increase the size of the port.

01:45

And you can see now that we've created a version

01:47

of this that has four ports that are slightly larger

01:50

and our primary model state will have five ports that are a little bit smaller.

01:55

These model states can be used in the context of an

01:57

assembly to create a model state at the assembly level.

01:60

But for right now, we're going to focus just on this model state for our part.

02:03

If you want to, you can go ahead and save this design before moving on.
