Revolved

In SolidWorks, a revolved feature is a type of feature that creates a three-dimensional shape by revolving a two-dimensional sketch about a centerline or axis. This feature is commonly used to create parts that have rotational symmetry, such as cylinders, cones, and pipes.

To create a revolved feature in SolidWorks, you need to start by creating a sketch that represents the cross-section of the shape you want to create. The sketch can be created on any plane, but it must be contained within a single quadrant or half of the sketch plane. This ensures that the sketch can be fully revolved around an axis.

How Create Revolved feature ?

  • Select Revolved Feature
  • Select plane
  • Draw Constuction line for center axis
  • Draw half section of the required part
  • Click sketch exit.
  • use Property Manager for more option
  • Revolved features can be used in a wide variety of applications, from simple mechanical parts to complex architectural designs. Some examples of revolved features in SolidWorks include:

    • Cylindrical shafts and pipes
    • Conical or tapered shapes
    • Complex curves and geometries created by revolving splines or other non-linear sketches
    • Parts with multiple revolved features, such as gears or turbines

    Overall, revolved features are a powerful tool in SolidWorks that can be used to create a wide variety of parts and assemblies. Whether you are designing a simple mechanical component or a complex architectural structure, revolved features can help you to create precise, efficient, and visually appealing designs.
