Tutorial how to create a simple fan?


These are the steps below...
-
Step 1:
First o all we must create the hub that will hold the fan blades.. SO we create a sketch in any plane we want....
-
Step 2:
Then we revolve to create the hub... (can be done with extrude... its up t you..)
-
Step 3:
Next we sketch the fan blade, as it would be flat...(like before the pressing)
-
Step 4:
Then we extrude it.. (NOTE we do NOT merge result because we want to modify the blade before adding it to the hub)
-
Step 5:
To continue, we click on the flex feature, located in Insert->features->flex and we select the blade as a body to flex... We choose twist option from the menu.
-
Step 6:
we adjust the twisting planes in order to twist the blade in the desired direction...
-
Step 7:
After twisting, we are done with the blade treatment, and we circular pattern the blade, as a solid body. (we pattern the blade body)
-
Step 8:
Finally we combine the blades with the hub....
-
Step 9:
and the result is a simple fan:)
