To show that you can create quite complicated shapes using only a combination of basic shapes, I created the model as used for Solidworks Model Mania 2023. The result is:
The following image shows the basic shapes that were used for this model.
As with other models I encountered some issues with rounding edges. Some fillets in the shape were created before joining the parts together. Adding the remaining fillets between the joined parts failed initially, but after adjusting the selection mechanism and reducing the radius of the fillet to avoid overlapping fillets I achieved the result as shown above. Again I had most success using the
ìnBox
selection mechanism, adjusting the size of the box by trial and error. What I did not manage was avoid the rounding on the inside of the clamp. Even cutting the center hole as the last step did not solve this as it again resulted in a kernel error. I finally gave up.For those interested, the code is below:
