Case Study: Surface Relimitation and Connection
The case study for this lesson is ‘Mobile Phone’. The focus of this case study is to use the relimitation and
connection tools of Generative shape design workbench and dress up the model to achieve the final
finished shape.
You will be provided with the base surface. While you perform the operations, you will understand the
different functionalities of the tools.

Design Intent
Cerate a smooth blended edge at the top edge which
varies with respect to thickness of the phone.
• Use Variable fillet to achieve the varying blend
along the edge.
Create a feature groove on the top face of the phone to
add the aesthetics.
• Trim the tube surface lying on the face to get a
groove feature.
Create a display screen with the flange at inside to
mount the display card.
• Trim the top face of the phone at display location
using the extruded surface and keep the inner side
of the surface which forms the flange.
Create a key pad holes on the top face of the phone to
incorporate number keys.
• Create the key pad profiles in a sketch and project
them on the surface. Split the surface using
projected curves.
Create a smooth blended edge on the lower case of
the phone.
• Create a blend surface.
The design intent is to create the finished part using the base surface.
