Week 11 - Final project
Objective : The Objective of this challenge is to design the door inner panel , so that it can be manufactured according to the real world Design standards.
The several stages of this challenge can be listed as
- Draft analysis of the given A surface for Map pocket , Door arm rest & Lower substrate.
- Creating the Solid part of the components .
- Analysis of assembly sequence of the componentns and locations.
- Creating locating & Locking features on the parts.
- Pulling out the parting line and slider lines on the components.
Inputs provided
A surface of the components are provided for creating the 3D components
Lower substrate
Map pocket
Door arm rest
Methodology
Steps followed to complete the challenge
1.Draft plane creation
2. B & C surface creation.
3. Solid part creation
4. Feature addition for Assembly
5. Conclusion
1.Draft plane creation
Using the Axis method, a Draft axis is created for the given A surface. By using analysis under the running point, the draft for X & Y direction are fixed as 0 & 0 degree, respectively.
Lower substrate
Map pocket
In Map pocket the side walls need to changed so that it can be cleared with the draft direction being maintained at 0Deg.
Door arm rest
2. B & C surface creation.
By offsetting the A surface and sweeping the \boundary of A surface the B & C surfaces are created respectively.
3. Solid part creation
The created B & C surfces are then trimmed with A surface to create a closed surface .
Before navigating to part workbench a prelimary test is done to ensure that their are no open surfaces , for this Boundary command is used.
Once this is done we can then proceed to create a closed surface of the components.
Map pocket
Door arm rest
Lower substrate
4. Feature addition for Assembly
All the components are then assembled to the Assembly work bench and the suitable assembly sequence and features are studied .
We can then start designing the Heat stake and Push pin assembly to the features .
Before that the baisc design features are studied for creating them .
By adhering to the above rule a assembly sequence is designed and then the features are added on the B surface.Draft analysis done on the final components and suitable PL & SL are created .
Final assembly of all components
Conclusion
A section of inner door panel has been created from the given A surface and various analysis as been done for making the components more desirable for the Manufacturing process.
