    This document discusses the rib feature in ProEngineer Wildfire 3.0. It describes how to create a rib by sketching a profile and selecting surfaces for the rib to extend between. The rib will adapt to changing geometry better than an extrude. An example is provided where an elliptical rib is added to an existing part between an inner elliptical edge and rotated to a thickness of 0.1 inches. The summary emphasizes that ribs are preferable to extrusions for adding thin walls between curved surfaces.

    RIB USAGE
    The Rib feature is designed to create a thin walled protrusion between two or more surfaces in the
    model. The unique behavior of the rib as it can adapt to changing geometry better than an extrude
    feature makes is a great, but underused feature.

    CREATING THE RIB


    The rib feature is located in the Feature Toolbar in the top grouping of blue icons, and looks like the
    following.

    To demonstrate this feature, we will open up the Draft1 part that we have been working with. We will
    create a support/stack rib for this model. Therefore, we will start by clicking on the Create rib icon. The
    dashboard appears as follows.

    We need to start by sketching our rib profile. In the References slide-up panel, we can see a Define
    button. When we click on this, we see the familiar sketching window.

    We will pick the RIGHT datum plane as our sketching plane, and accept the TOP datum plane facing
    towards the top. When we get into the sketch, we will pick the inside elliptical edge as a sketcher
    reference, as shown in the next figure.

    We are going to create the following sketch. NOTE: We will use an ellipse for the arc portion of this
    sketch, centered on the vertical reference line, located 0.464 below the horizontal reference line.

    When we complete the sketch, we should see a preview of the rib. If the yellow arrow is not facing into
    the rib geometry, we will need to click on it to flip it. The preview should look like the following.

    We will change the rib thickness value to 0.1. Rotated, our final preview will look like the following.

    Just like the shell feature, we have an icon next to the thickness field that is used to flip which side of
    the sketching plane our rib is added. By default, it wants to be symmetric about the sketching plane
    (0.05 on each side in this example). You can flip it to either side as well using this icon.
    We will click on the green check mark to complete this feature. Our model looks like the following.

    Save this model and close it. We will return to this in the lesson on patterns.

    LESSON SUMMARY
    Use a rib feature when you must add a thin wall between existing surfaces of a model. This is
    preferable to extruding a protrusion on both sides of the datum plane, because the rib feature will follow

    curving geometry where an extrude just goes straight out from the sketching plane.
    Use Cross-section datum curves when necessary to snap to the geometry at the location where you
    want the rib, especially if the geometry is curved.

    EXERCISES
    Open up the Headset part that we have been working on. We are going to add a rib within the shelled
    out area. After we add the rib, we are going to add some rounds to make it look nice. Use the figure
    below as a guide for this.
