Week 10 - Challenge 1- Attachment Feature Creation (Ribs & Screw Boss)
Week 10 -RIBS & SCREW BOSS
AIM:
- To Create the Door Handle Component from the given Class-A surface.
- To Create the tooling axis for the given Class-A Surface meeting the requirements of the draft angle.
- To Attach B side Features in the component.
- To perform the Draft analysis on the model. DESCRIPTION:
CREATING TOOLING AXIS:
-
The Tooling Direction is basically the direction that the mold pulls a part. The mold is built in two separate pieces, basically. You have a Cavity side and you have the Core side. The Core pulls apart from the Cavity and that's the Dye line or the Tooling Direction.
- Check for gaps between surfaces for that click on join and then preview.
- If theres any gap between the surfaces join them with a maximum tolerance of 0.003 mm.
BISECTING LINES:
were used to get the exact medium from the two sides so that maximum positive draft angle can be achieved.
- The tooling axis is created for the component by bisecting two axis from x and y planes.
DRAFT ANALYSIS:
The Draft Analysis command enables you to detect if the part you drafted will be easily removed. This type of analysis is performed based on color ranges identifying zones on the analyzed element where the deviation from the draft direction at any point, corresponds to specified values.
- Before going to drat analysis go to customized view parameter >under mesh >check material and then click ok.
- Now for draft analyses go to insert » analysis » feature draft analysis.
- Use the compasss to define the draft direction.
- In the colour scale change the draft angle to 3 degree.
- The component changes to green in indication of passing draft angle.
- Use running point to check the angle on the component.
- The draft analysis is completed
PUBLICATION:
- Publication is done to the component to make it visible and navigate easily.
- To publish the component go to tools > publications and then select the tooling axis and the class A surface.
- A separate tree structure is formed under the main part.
CONCLUSION:
- The Tooling axis and the SolidCAT part with B Side Features is created from the given Class A Surface and Draft Analysis is Performed.
