Revolved boss/base in Solidworks - Cell-by-Cell Formula Trace

Sample Data

This data represents the parameters for a Revolved Boss/Base feature in SolidWorks: the height and width of the sketch profile, the angle of revolution, and the length of the axis around which the profile is revolved.

Cell	Value
A1	Sketch Profile Height
A2	20
B1	Sketch Profile Width
B2	10
C1	Revolve Angle (degrees)
C2	360
D1	Axis of Revolution Length
D2	20

Formula Trace

Volume = π * (Width/2)^2 * Axis Length * (Revolve Angle / 360)

Step 1: Width / 2

Step 2: (Width / 2)^2

Step 3: π * (Width / 2)^2

Step 4: Axis Length * (Revolve Angle / 360)

Step 5: Volume = π * (Width / 2)^2 * Axis Length * (Revolve Angle / 360)

Cell Reference Map

    A       B       C       D
1 |Height | Width | Angle | Axis 
2 |  20   |  10   |  360  |  20  

References used: B2 (Width), C2 (Revolve Angle), D2 (Axis Length)

The formula uses the width from B2, revolve angle from C2, and axis length from D2 to calculate the volume of the revolved boss/base.

Result

    A       B       C       D       E
1 |Height | Width | Angle | Axis  | Volume
2 |  20   |  10   |  360  |  20   | 1570.8

The final volume of the revolved boss/base is calculated as 1570.8 cubic units and displayed in cell E2.
