Week 10 - Challenge 2- Attachment Feature Creation (Dog House)

Tooling axis:

The direction in which the mould, core, or hollow opens and closes is known as the tooling axis. The tooling axis must be established before creating a component.

Procedure

Verify that the Class A Surface is connected, meaning there are no gaps between the surfaces.

Determine the appropriate tooling direction by analysing the component in the x, y, and z directions (here Y).

By removing it, you may turn a flat surface into a point.

The tooling axis is determined by drawing a line across the point that is parallel to the flat surface that was removed.

Given surface

Tooling Axis Through Bisecting

Verify that the Class A Surface is connected, meaning there are no gaps between the surfaces.

Determine the appropriate tooling direction by analysing the component in the x, y, and z directions

By removing it, make a point at the base surface.

Use that position as the starting point for an axis system.

Make a point where class A and the x-axis cross.

Create two lines using examples of faces that you believe will cause issues.

With the lines drawn, make a bisecting line that will give us the tooling axis.

To clear the draught direction in this instance, we will introduce a tooling axis from the side that is prependicular to the face that is not clearing the draught in the main tooling axis direction when making the Dog House.

First change the view to " Customize View Parameters" and select Material option.

Select Feature Draft Analysis from the tool bar.

Click on the direction, drag and drop the compass to the component such that it should coincide with the tooling axis.

Lock the draft direction and click on the component.

Green colour shows the positive draft, cyan as zero degree and red as negative drafting

Class a:

Class A surface is any set of highly efficient and quality freeform surfaces. In other words, Class A surface is the aesthetic surface.

Class c:

It is used to join class a & class c
