"Surface Body" in mechanical sketches....

AI Thread Summary
A "surface body" refers to a geometric entity created from sketches that define its boundaries, allowing for the generation of complex shapes in mechanical design. The "Surfaces From Sketches" feature facilitates the transformation of line sketches into surface bodies. There is a distinction between surface objects and planar objects; while both are related, they serve different purposes in modeling. Understanding this differentiation is crucial for effective design and representation in mechanical sketches. Clarification on these concepts can enhance the accuracy of modeling practices.

Conversion of a line sketch into a planar object bounded by the original line sketch .

Are the surface object and planar object the same concepts?

Thank you.
 

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
