The new Kärcher Startmodel

27.03.2015 HDE-C - KNR / Description Startmodel 2015_2 / 1

Important:

It‘s not allowed to rename or delete

Bodies and Geometrical Sets with a # in

the name.

Parameters

27.03.2015 HDE-C - KNR / Description Startmodel 2015_2 / 3

Startmodel

• The pre-defined parameters can be used as template –

„#Standard_Thickness“ can be copied for all length parameters,

„#DraftAngle“ for all angles.

• The pre-defined parameters can also be used and modified!

Copy/Paste

References From Other Parts

27.03.2015 HDE-C - KNR / Description Startmodel 2015_2 / 4

Startmodel

From here the geometry can be used with [Copy Paste as result with

Link] (CPL) in the following design.

Copy Paste as result with link

All geometries from other parts must be

pasted into the body #External_Geometry.

#Steering contains general

steering features for the

design.

#Steering is divided into:

1. #Origin: contains part origin and basic axis system

2. #Toolspecific_References: contains tool specific

references such as parting surfaces, draft directions,

etc. (Sub-structuring with geometrical sets is

permitted.)

3. #Multiple_Used_Geometry: contains geometry that‘s

used multiply in the design. These geometries can be

copied and pasted with link in the respective body in

the #FinalPart .

Final Part

27.03.2015 HDE-C - KNR / Description Startmodel 2015_2 / 6

Startmodel

The #FinalPart contains the complete resulting geometry for the part.

You should use sub-structures with bodies (Boolean Operations) and geometrical

sets to have a clear structure

Final Part

27.03.2015 HDE-C - KNR / Description Startmodel 2015_2 / 7

Startmodel

Sub-structures should fulfill these demands:

• Documentation in an individual "Body" or

"Geometrical Set"

• can be positioned with positioning points

• design with sketches (Positioned Sketch)

• geometrically independent from the rest of the

design

• sketches are set into Hide

• sensible naming (surface results are named

like their Geometrical Set)

References To Other Parts

27.03.2015 HDE-C - KNR / Description Startmodel 2015_2 / 8

Startmodel

Exchange geometry (e.g. for tooling) can be put into #Export_Folder by using

extract or CPL.

Template

27.03.2015 HDE-C - KNR / Description Startmodel 2015_2 / 9

Startmodel

The Template is a pre-defined body that contains standard

features like point, axis system and main sketches. It is used

as master copy for surface and solid design.

The sketches refer to the respective planes and the origin of the axis system. Thus

the complete structure can be positioned by editing the reference point of the

respective geometrical set.

Graphic Properties of Wireframe Geometry

27.03.2015 HDE-C - KNR / Description Startmodel 2015_2 / 10

Modifications in Methodology

Colours, thickness and linestyle can be chosen as you like for all wireframe

geometry.

Hide/Show

27.03.2015 HDE-C - KNR / Description Startmodel 2015_2 / 11

Modifications in Methodology

All the wireframe geometry has to be in

Hide. This includes:

• Points

• Planes

• Axissystems

• Curves/Lines

• Sketches

Startpart for Shetmetal Design

27.03.2015 HDE-C - KNR / Description Startmodel 2015_2 / 12

Startpart SMD

Use the same Startmodel for PartDesign and Sheetmetal. Due to the sheetmetal

parameter, the Startmodel is defined as a Sheetmetal part for the Q-Checker.

Startpart SMD

Don‘t use Boolean Operations for structuring your Sheetmetal Parts!

Else the „unfolded View“ doesn‘t work. Please work directly inside the #FinalPart.

Only one Boolean Add is allowed in special cases, e.g for Recognize
