I'm creating a model of a sheet of glass that's 200mm in diameter.
One surface is covered with an opaque coating 1 micron thick which is perforated by a hole pattern (consisting of 3 holes) which is repeated across the entire part on a 0.50mm pitch.
That's about 125 000 holes.
What's the most efficient way of producing the hole pattern?
Hi Eric,
Not going to happen in SW in a single part (with any sort of efficiency if at all). Too many features.
A possible alternative is to have a quadrant and then assemble 4 slices in an assembly,
What do you want to do with this part?
Thanks guys.
Mike,
The whole part is only really needed for a drawing. We'll buy in the glass and then cut it up into 125000 pieces so the assembly that takes the glass only takes a very small part of the original.
In that case, just model few patterns and then show in the drawing view with a note that it is for full surface.
Create another config with those micron feature suppressed. Use real view appearance to show the cut outs.
