Week 10 - Challenge 3 - Door Trim Lower with Engineering Features
- The draft analysis is carried out on the given class A by using the command called featured draft analysis.At this stage we can analyse all the faces with the draft angle reference,if the draft angle is not sufficient we must proceed accordingly,In this case the draft angles was sufficient and proceded for the decision of tooling direction.
- For the given class A surface the tooling direction would be on the flat surface because the only profile is having the flat surface .i have decided it to be the tooling direction on normal to the flat surface by creating the point first and line would be the axis of tooling.
- As soon as the creation of the tooling axis the offset surface will be taken from the class A and few fillets were not driven by the cass A and i worked on the fillets by using multiple extract and creating the boundaries,later extrapolation is occured to create the fillets by using fillet command.
- After following the same process for all the surfaces which are not carried over on the B surface from A will be done.
- The next would be creation of the surface C,with the draft by given angles,on the flat surfaces which is parallel to the tooling direction,and extrapolated to trim the final surfaces. finally join command is used to join the C and A surfaces,and trimmed with the B surfaces.
- Checked the surfaces are closed properly by using boundary command,if i get the error message then it is a closed boundary,and applied the closed surface to get the solid body.
- The model should be created with the locators and haet stakes to arrest the moving with 12 degrees of freedom, To arrest them the locators is used to arrest the 11 degrees of freedom and the movement along the y direction is arrested by using heat stakes.
- To create the locators and the heat stakes the plane and point is needed along the tooling direction,after creation of plane used the same to create a sketch and pad it for certain length and make sured the pad is completely connected with the base surface,and finally i make sure the heat stakes length should not exceed the locators length,and gave the required draft to clear the draft analysis.and finally assembled with the main body by using union trim command.
- The referance images are shown below.
