Door Arm Rest Week 8 Challenge
AIM: To create a Door ArmRest as per the OEM standards through the given CLASS A Surface and to perform the draft analysis on the component.
OBJECTIVES
- To create the Tooling Axis in the best possible direction.
- Draft Analysis on the CLASS A Surface and the Final Plastic Component.
- Creation of CLASS B and CLASS C Surface.
- To make a closed surface with a thickness of 2.5mm.
CLASS A Surface

PROCEDURE FOR DRAFT ANALYSIS
- First check the connectivity of the given CLASS A Surface by using the Join or the Boundary command to ensure there is no gap in between.
- Analyze the best possible tooling axis for the given component.
- Proceed with the TOOLING AXIS with the New Axis System.
- Created the main tooling axis and side core normal to the surfaces.
MAIN TOOLING AXIS

SIDE CORE TOOLING AXIS

Draft Analysis On CLASS A Surface
- Select the Material Mode in the Toolbar for Draft Analysis
- Add the Compass to the main Tooling axis and lock the tooling position.
- Click on the Surface for the output of the analysis.

DRAFT ANALYSIS ON SIDE CORE TOOLING AXIS
CREATION OF B SURFACE
- First extract the surface from the given CLASS A Surface and untrimmed them to obtain the Parent Surface
- After untriming , all the required surfaces are then extrapolated.
- Offset the untrimmed surfaces to the required thickness i.e 2.5mm
- At last trim the offset surfaces to obtain the required final trim.

CREATION OF CLASS C
- For creating a CLASS C surface we extracted the boundaries of the CLASS A using Multiple Extract.
- These boundaries are then swept with CLASS A as reference and joined together.

CLASS A +CLASS C
To ensure there is no gap between the CLASS A and CLASS C surface we have joined the two surfaces.

FINAL TRIMS
The joined CLASS C surface is now trimmed with the CLASS B Surface to obtain the final trim.

CLOSED SURFACE
The final trim is now closed using the closed surface command in the part workbench to obtain the final solid component.

DRAFT ANALYSIS ON THE FINAL COMPONENT
The following results were obtained in draft analysis of the final component.
