Has anyone been able to model thread succesfully?

There is probably a better way, but I used a derived part to do it. That way
you can cut the ends of the thread flat and join it to (or subtract it from)
the rest of the part. Originally, I was hoping that there would be a from-to
sweep option so I didn't have to use derived parts, but there wasn't.

It's a little bulky but that's not a bad idea. This is what I got after I
added the feature instead of cutting it. I have always had problems with
coil cuts since R2 or R3. I thought Autodesk would have fixed it by now.

Thanks,
Matt

Matt, What part of modeling a thread are you having trouble with? If you try cutting a thread one thing you must keep in mind is that the "cutting tool" profile cannot intersect itself to if the pitch is 1.5mm and your 60deg cutting profile is 1.5mm the corners will intersect as it follows the spiral path. (The same error occurs in MDT, IV, and that other solidworking program.) One solution is avoid the intersection "collision" is to subtract a very small amount, say .001mm from the width of the cutting tool. If this is the problem you are referring to it also has implications for other situations. For example using the place hole features to place radial holes at an angle. If the "drill" is set to go deep enough so that the "drills" would "collide" in simultaneously placing the features, the feature will fail. J.D.

J.D.

 

I was not aware of this problem. I have always
tried to use the cutting profile to remove the O.D. material as well as the
thread profile. So, if I overlap I get modeling errors. If I make the profile
even .0001 smaller to prevent overlap I'm left with a thin ring. I'm glad I
don't do this every day.

 

Thanks,

Matt

Very nice, thanks for sharing. I forgot about the taper option in the coil
feature.
