Sample Data

This data represents the lengths of two sketch lines and the parameters for applying a fillet and a chamfer between them in a SolidWorks sketch.

Cell	Value
A1	Line1 Length
B1	100
A2	Line2 Length
B2	80
A3	Fillet Radius
B3	10
A4	Chamfer Distance1
B4	15
A5	Chamfer Distance2
B5	10

Formula Trace

Fillet_Length_Adjusted = (Line1 Length - Fillet Radius) + (Line2 Length - Fillet Radius) + (Fillet Radius * π / 2)
Chamfer_Length_Adjusted = (Line1 Length - Chamfer Distance1) + (Line2 Length - Chamfer Distance2) + sqrt(Chamfer Distance1^2 + Chamfer Distance2^2)

Step 1: Line1 Length - Fillet Radius

Step 2: Line2 Length - Fillet Radius

Step 3: Fillet Radius * π / 2

Step 4: Fillet_Length_Adjusted = 90 + 70 + 15.708

Step 5: Line1 Length - Chamfer Distance1

Step 6: Line2 Length - Chamfer Distance2

Step 7: sqrt(Chamfer Distance1^2 + Chamfer Distance2^2)

Step 8: Chamfer_Length_Adjusted = 85 + 70 + 18.028

These cells show the final adjusted lengths after applying fillet and chamfer respectively.

The result cells display the total adjusted lengths of the sketch lines after applying the fillet and chamfer modifications.

Sheet Trace Quiz - 3 Questions

Test your understanding

What does the term 'Fillet Radius * π / 2' represent in the formula?

AThe length of the fillet arc (quarter circle)

BThe total length of both lines

CThe sum of chamfer distances

DThe radius of the chamfer

Key Result

Sketch fillet adjusts line lengths by subtracting radius and adding quarter circle arc; chamfer adjusts by subtracting distances and adding hypotenuse of chamfer legs.
