On the toolbar, click Solid > Create > Rib . The Rib dialog displays. In the canvas, select an open sketch profile to use as the Profile.

Design > Solid > Create > Rib Presets Last Used Values: Uses the last used values.

Click at the base of the one rib on a long side and one rib on the short side.

You can create setting presets in the following tools: Extrude Rib Web Boss Snap Fit Emboss Thicken Shell Draft

In separate activities, you Created a loft feature on a gas pedal, then added a web feature, and a rib to provide additional support.

Minimum Wall Thickness Attempts to enforce the minimum thickness of a wall or rib after cutting. Wall thickness refers to the thickness of features in the cutting plane, that are perpendicular to the Cutting Direction.

Generally, if the thickness of the rib is less than or equal to 60% of the main wall section, then there are likely to be no significant sink marks.

In this tutorial, you Create a loft feature on a gas pedal, then add a web feature, and a rib to provide additional support.

Avoid negative shrinkage on ribs because this can cause ejection problems Check that values are in the expected range for the material.

Physical values Thickness, Draft Angle and Nominal Radius, which are referenced as parameters and used by modeling tools such as Extrude, Rib , Web, Boss, Snap Fit, Emboss, Thicken, Shell, Draft.

In the Sketches folder, make the Rib sketch visible. Click Design > Solid > Create > Rib to activate the Rib tool.

Specify values such Rib Length or Step Offset to adjust the dimensions of the ribs .

Troubleshooting suggestions: Gas Pedal - right-click the item in the timeline and select Edit Feature, then make sure that ABS Plastic is set as the material, the Loft Centerline is selected as centerline for the Loft feature, all 11 sketch lines are selected in the Web feature, the Web and Rib features are set to the correct depths, the units are set correctly.

Decrease the draft angle in thin ribs where hesitation occurs - but this may cause a functional problem with the design, and may make ejecting the part more difficult.
