How to add the ribs in soliudworks 3d models using rib feature

The model shown in the solidworks modeling tutorial is a very simple model, but here in this tutorial we will add ribs in the orthogonal(perpendicular walls)to give bending support to the bracket, have the look in the slide to see where we are trying to add the ribs in this solidworks modeling tutorials.

First, create a plane in the middle of the L shaped bracket as shown in the slide of the solidworks modeling tutorials,this plane has a vital role in adding the rib, by using the rib feature in the solidworks modeling.

    

As shown in the slide, take normal to the plane, and insert a 2d sketch for the solidworks panel with coincident contraints as shown in the figure.

After the sketching exit from the sketch mode and select the rib feature from the solidworks panel or Insert--->Features--->Rib, after selecting the rib feature, your solidworks working space may look similar to my slide, select thickness of the rib and make sure the direction of the rib points to the walls, otherwise the rib feature will not work.Lastly click OK(Tick).

 

Voila, here we have completed adding the rib, this is the end of this solidworks modeling tutorials.
