Extruded Thin Ribs

Creo 2, M040

 

I swear I remember seeing that there was an enhancement in WF5 or maybe Creo 1 to allow you to sketch a series of lines, multiple open sections, and extrude that as a thin feature.  They showed it creating a network of ribs in a plastic part.

 

I’m trying to do this in an internal sketch (a simple T) in an extruded thin and Creo 2 is giving me the same old ‘ multiple loops must be closed’ error.  I tried again with an external sketch and got ‘Intersecting entities encountered in the section’ and Creo refused to use the sketch.

 

Am I dreaming about these extruded ribs?  If not, how do I do this?

I remember that at a SW users group meeting recently, but not on Pro/Creo.

That's it, but it seems limited in that ribs cannot terminate at an open edge of the part.  In my case there is no side wall and the feature fails.

Hi Doug,

... yes it is true - do you need to create side walls for Trajectory Rib feature.

For your example, you can create closted shell and then you can use Solidify feature (create cut by plane/surface)

Vote for new IDEA - Trajectory Rib feature for open geometry
