Shell Features
The shell tool hollows out a
part, leaves open the faces you select, and creates thin-walled features
on the remaining faces. If you do not select any face on the model, you
can shell a solid part, creating a closed, hollow
model.
You can also shell a model using multiple thicknesses.
You should apply any fillets before you shell a part.
If the Shell
tool has problems shelling a model, the Error Diagnostics
section appears in the PropertyManager to help you diagnose the problem.
To create a shell feature of
uniform thickness:
Click Shell on the Features
toolbar or Insert,
Features, Shell.
In the
PropertyManager, under Parameters:
When you shell a multibody
part, the Solid Body box appears. After you select a face to remove, or a body,
the box disappears.
