Right now, I want to create some kind of case where I can insert only the tip of my linear actuator. The tip of my actuator has a rectangularish shape, but with curvatures at the edges. I'm attaching images of the actuator I'm using so you can see what I mean. I know that it is probably a very easy thing to do, but I spent the whole night trying, watching tutorials, and had no luck. I want to include this design into an existing design I'm working on. I'm attaching the .f3d file of what I'm doing as well, and as soon as you open it you can see that at the bottom of the design there is an improvised rectangular casing so you can see what I'm trying to do, but I want to do it following the curve shape of the tip of the actuator. It would be great if someone could help me with this keeping it as a separate component so it doesn't interfere with the other design and I could see the steps you took and in case I want to make some changes.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I'm attaching all the necessary information as well as some pictures with the measurements I'm using based on the tip of the actuator.</P> Wed, 18 Sep 2024 19:29:55 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/trying-to-create-a-casing-for-the-following-design/m-p/13029256#M13726 aruiz40DNGK7 2024-09-18T19:29:55Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/trying-to-create-a-casing-for-the-following-design/m-p/13029435#M13727 <P>Sketches 1 through 5 can all be just one sketch.</P> <P>Instead of extruding the inner and out portions of a body and then shelling it, simply extrude the walls and the bottom.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>I would model your linear actuator and use that to combine/cut the transducer.&nbsp;&nbsp; Use sketches on the XY, and XZ planes to define the linear actuator.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Wed, 18 Sep 2024 21:14:04 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/trying-to-create-a-casing-for-the-following-design/m-p/13029435#M13727 etfrench 2024-09-18T21:14:04Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/trying-to-create-a-casing-for-the-following-design/m-p/13029463#M13728 Thank you for the advice!
