Week 10 - Challenge 3 - Door Trim Lower with Engineering Features
DOOR TRIM - HEAT STAKE
As per the given class A surface link, I have converted the sp file into CATPart file and then started to work.
Firstly I have made class A surface to a geometrical set named Class A and made the surface to Publication.
Then added new geometrical set named Tooling axis and start to create the tooling axis. For that I visualised the direction which our tooling axis may take in the X, Y AND Z components and found that it is appropriate in the Y direction and drawn the line through that direction. Then made checked the draft analysis and made it as my tooling axis and added to Publication.
Then I added a new geometrical set named B surface and started to work on my need B surface. For that , I just offsetted my class A surface to 2.5 mm inwards. Then I used multisectionsurface tool to clear the patching areas in the offsetted surface. Thus I got my B surface and i added it to Publication. Then I extrapolated my B surface a little for the easy trimming later.
Then I created new geometrical set named C surface and started to work on the C surface. For the creation of the C surface, I have taken the boundary of the Class A and sweeped it to 90 degress downward with reference to class A surface to about 3 mm. Thus I got my required C surface too.
Then I created new geometrical set named Final trim and done the trimming together with Class A and C surface.
Then later the trimmed portion with B surface. Thus I got my required design of the part which was hollow inside. men i added a new part body and closed the hollow part using the part design feature tool Close surface).
Then i create a geometrical set named as locator. And sketched point and lines proper dimensions and i extruded that proper thickness.Then i created a part body and trimmed sides and edge filleted proper radius.
Thus i completed my challenge
