Door Arm Rest Week 8 Challenge

Drafting analysis on door arm rest

Tooling axis creation

  • Extract the base surface and create a point on the extracted surface.
  • So using the point create a line in Z direction.
  • Now, again extract the side wall surface and create a point on extracted surface.
  • Using the point create a line in X direction.
  • So these two lines will be considered as tooling axis of the model.
  • Z direction line is considered as the MAIN TOOLING AXIS and X direction line is considered as SIDE CORE TOOLING AXIS.

Draft analysis on class A surface

COMPASS METHOD

  • The first step in draft analysis is to change the view into material mode.
  • Then considering main tooling axis, select draft analysis feature.
  • Now grab the compass and place it on the main tooling axis.
  • Adjust the compass so that the surface get turns into green.
  • Now the red color surfaces may get solve in other tooling axis i.e side core tooling axis.
  • Select the draft analysis feature, grab the compass place it on side core tooling axis, adjust the compass until the surface turn into green.

B surface creation

  • Extracting the required surfaces of class A surface
  • Untrim the extracted surfaces.
  • Extrapolate the untrimmed surfaces to some extent.
  • Trim the surfaces according to required shape.
  • Now offset the surface inside to the class A surface about 2.5mm.
  • Now create the fillets at required edges.

C surface creation

  • Extract the boundaries of the class A surface.
  • Use sweep command to create surface.
  • Extracted surfaces as guide curve and tooling axis as draft direction, using draft angle as 3 degree.
  • So multi section surface command is used at some curves to ensure proper surface creation.

Final body creation

  • Now join the class A and class C surfaces.
  • And using trim command trim the joined surface of class A & class C with B surface.
  • So a new surface is created.

Closed body creation

  • Change the workbench into part work bench
  • Use the closed surface command to close the surface
  • So a closed body is generated.
