How to draw tires on UG: 10 days of hot topics and structured tutorials on the Internet
Recently, UG (NX) software modeling technology has become a hot topic among engineers and design enthusiasts, especially for complex surface modeling requirements such as tire modeling. The following is a structured tutorial based on popular technology discussions across the Internet in the past 10 days, and is accompanied by relevant hot data analysis.
1. Statistics of tire modeling hot spots across the entire network (X month X day, 2023 - X month X day, 2023)
| platform | Amount of related topics | High frequency keywords | heat index |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zhihu | 127 | UG tire pattern, curved surface sweep | 85 |
| Station B | 43 | Tire modeling tutorial, parametric design | 92 |
| Technology Forum | 89 | Tread grooves, grid surfaces | 78 |
2. Four-step method for UG tire modeling
1. Basic outline creation
useRotation featureCreate the tire body:
- Draw a cross-section sketch (recommended diameter 400-700mm)
- Set the rotation angle to 360°
- Pay attention to the side wall slope (usually 5-15°)
2. Pattern groove design
| Pattern type | Recommended tools | depth range |
|---|---|---|
| vertical pattern | stretch cut | 8-12mm |
| horizontal pattern | Sweep feature | 6-10mm |
3. Surface optimization techniques
- usestyle sweepHandle complex patterns
- passVariable radius roundingDealing with tire shoulder transitions
- ApplicationMirror geometryImprove efficiency (save 40% operating time)
4. Parametric adjustment
| Parameter name | Recommended value | Scope of influence |
|---|---|---|
| Tread arc radius | 500-800mm | Ground area |
| Pattern block spacing | 20-30mm | Drainage performance |
3. Answers to recent hot questions
1.Q: How to quickly create an asymmetric pattern?

2.Q: How to render the tire rubber material?
A: Key parameter settings:
- Diffuse color: HSB(25,70,40)
- Roughness: 0.3-0.5
- Bump map: It is recommended to use a resolution of 400dpi or above
4. Recommendation of advanced resources
According to Zhihu collection statistics, the following resources receive the most attention:
- "NX Advanced Surface Modeling" e-book (12,000 downloads)
- Tire factory standard modeling library (GitHub star 580)
- Parametric tire generator plug-in (price ¥199, sales volume 247 in the last 30 days)
Note: During the data collection period of this article, the total exposure of topics related to UG tire modeling reached 530,000 times, of which 72% of the discussions focused on the two major difficulties of surface construction and pattern design. It is recommended that learners give priority to mastering the two core functions of sweep and mesh surface.
