Designed and modeled B and C surface for Right-side door switch panel using CATIA V5

OBJECTIVE :

Objective of this project is to create a surface B and C for the given component (i.e) Right-Side door switch panel and to perform draft analysis using CATIA V5.

INTRODUCTION :

Surface B and C of Right-side door switch panel is modelled in Generative Shape Design workbench and we created an Axis system, Tooling Axis and we applied a concept of draft analysis inorder to check the product is manufactural or not.

GIVEN COMPONENT :

fig.1

AXIS SYSTEM :

An axis system is composed of an origin point and three orthogonal axes. It can be right or left-handed.

fig.2

TOOLING AXIS :

Tooling axis is created withrespect to the point, which is created on the Axis system. Tooling axis is the tool direction and with help of tooling we can apply draft angle( 3 degree) on the surface c.

PROCEDURE FOR CREATING CLASS B :

Extracting Surface from Class A except Fillets and offset it for 2.5mm ( Thickeness).

Untrim each and every the offseting surface and trim it as it is in Class A.

Measure fillet from surface A and apply it on Surface B

fig. 2

PROCEDURE FOR CREATING SURFACE C:

Apply Sweep from surface A with 3 degree draft angle.

This draft angle is drawn with respect to tooling axis.

TRIMMING :

Trim the remaining areas which exceeds surface B by extrapolating surface B and surface C.

JOINT :

Now apply Joint inoder to make complete single body.

After completing joint, check the body it has any opening by using boundries. Because holes does not make component to became solid

Now use Closed surface inorder to make Solid.
