Solidworks : Creer intersection de solid?

3D Design
1

Hello

I'm a beginner on SolidWorks, but used to Autocad (2D...)

After having done all the Solidworks tutorials (sometimes with a lot of difficulty...), I model an OSB plate, simple subject.

I can't simply model the intersection of the interlocking tabs on each face.

The "combined" solution does not satisfy me because the union of the 2 Faces makes the original extrusions disappear .

Attached is my file.

If anyone could inform me to do this with the right method, thank you in advance!

Hello, what version of SDW are you on? 

Here is an idea to extend the groove, there will be as many as there are draughtsmen.

Thank you for the quick response.

I'm in 2018 (so I don't know how to read your file)

Oh dear, here's another simpler method: 

making a plane in the middle of the thickness of the panel, can be simplified if the first function is made in the middle plane.

take an edge as a sketch plane and sketch the male groove

and from above take as trajectory the sides of the panel (length and width) 

Sketch on the middle plane and convert features or intersection

Use these 2 sketches to do a male sweep

can also be used for swept material removal

Thank you

I understand the general principle, thank you. So I had the wrong method. (I've been on this for 4 hours...)

I'll do it right away.

But I'm surprised that a "merge" type operation doesn't exist.

On volume software, it's common to have to deal with volume intersections, I think, right?

you would have to look with the base boundary boss function but without certainty

Hello@tontontchti

Look at this image.

If you want a simple method, I can make you a mini tutorial.

Kind regards

Ok thank you. I think I understood. Extrusion must therefore be made from a profile perpendicular to its greatest extrusion direction.

I had drawn a rectangle on the edge of the panel, then extruded it to 10mm. So managing the connection was complicated.

But I'm still surprised by the method. I'm used to drawing a bit on the fly, and then adjusting the created entities with the other entities with the tools of the software that takes care of the connection "details".

According to your answers, with Solidworks, you have to think about this kind of "detail". While designing. At my stage of learning, it's a lot at the same time ;-)

@tontonchti

I just thought about an even simpler method for beginners first level.

Look at the attachments, it's an ultra-mini-tutorial

Kind regards

Good evening@tontonchti

you have to learn one day the fact of going through the drawing board and  staying glued to the 2D for a long time

For 3D, I always resonate with machining , it covers 90% of the needs.

For complicated shapes like a hair dryer, it's yet another way of thinking.

All three are part of what is known as "in shortcuts" -  "Always learning and persevering for a long time with curiosity"

Don't forget to choose the right answer to close the topic ;-)

Kind regards

Thank you to both of you and have a good evening.

I'm going to try to think about machining.

Indeed, like Zozo_mp I try to reason with machining.
I also like to have the minimum of functions, it's not always justified.
You'll see that everyone has their favorite technique, tips and tools.
