Turbo Em Curve – Using Project Curve Feature

grabcad

To create a Turbo Efficiency Map (EM) curve model in SolidWorks using the Project Curve feature, you can follow these steps:Open SolidWorks and create a new part or assembly file.Start a sketch on a suitable plane where you want to create the Turbo EM curve.Use sketch tools such as lines, arcs, and splines to draw the individual data points of the Turbo EM curve. Each data point represents a specific boost pressure value and the corresponding turbocharger efficiency value.Ensure that the sketch entities are fully defined and aligned appropriately.Exit the sketch mode and go to the "Features" tab in the SolidWorks command manager.Click on the "Curve" dropdown menu and select "Project Curve."In the "Project Curve" dialog box, select the sketch containing the Turbo EM curve points as the "Sketch to Project" option.Choose the plane or surface onto which you want to project the curve. This can be a plane parallel or perpendicular to the sketch plane.Adjust the projection settings as desired, such as the projection direction and method.Click "OK" to project the Turbo EM curve onto the selected plane or surface.You can hide or delete the original sketch once the projection is complete, as the projected curve now represents the Turbo EM curve in 3D space.Apply appropriate appearances or materials to the projected curve to enhance its visualization.By utilizing the Project Curve feature in SolidWorks, you can create a 3D model of the Turbo EM curve, allowing you to visualize and analyze the turbocharger's performance characteristics in a three-dimensional context. This can aid in the design and optimization of turbocharger systems for improved efficiency and performance.
