Revolved cut in Solidworks - Cell-by-Cell Formula Trace

Sample Data

This data represents parameters for a revolved cut feature in SolidWorks. Cell B1 is the radius of the sketch profile to be revolved. Cell B2 is the angle of revolution for the cut. Cell B3 will calculate the volume of material removed by the revolved cut.

Cell	Value
A1	Sketch Profile Radius
B1	10
A2	Revolve Angle (degrees)
B2	180
A3	Material Removed Volume
B3

Formula Trace

Material Removed Volume = (π * Radius^2) * (Revolve Angle / 360)

Step 1: Radius^2

Step 2: π * Radius^2

Step 3: Revolve Angle / 360

Step 4: (π * Radius^2) * (Revolve Angle / 360)

Cell Reference Map

    A           B
1 | Sketch Profile Radius | 10
2 | Revolve Angle (deg)  | 180
3 | Material Removed Vol | 

References: B1 (Radius), B2 (Angle) feed into formula for B3.

Cells B1 and B2 provide the radius and revolve angle values used to calculate the material removed volume in B3.

Result

    A           B
1 | Sketch Profile Radius | 10
2 | Revolve Angle (deg)  | 180
3 | Material Removed Vol | 157.08

The volume 157.08 represents the amount of material removed by the revolved cut with given radius and angle.

The final result in cell B3 shows the calculated volume of material removed by the revolved cut based on the input radius and revolve angle.
