Week 11 - Final project

FINAL PROJECT (DOOR TRIM PANEL):

OBJECTIVE:
To Develop the Door Trim Panel with the help of the master sections, Class A, B, C, and other engineering features and also do a draft analysis of the Door Trim Panel.

DOOR TRIM PANEL:

The door trim panel is the interior part of the car.
It generally included the window regulator, the power window motor, and the wiring.
Here, we are going to develop the Door trim Pannel which includes,

To develop the above components, we have to develop the Tooling axis, Class A surface, class B surface, Class C surface, close body, and engineering features.

For creating those surfaces, we will use the following commands which are given below they all are common steps and commands:

Firstly, we have to create a tooling axis which is essential for designing the component and also for draft analysis.
To create the tooling axis, I'm choosing bisecting method.
With the help of bisecting method and the Direct method, I created a tooling axis that probably clears all the surface of class A.
Now, let's check the draft analysis of class A and the component Door Trim Panel.

2. CLASS-B SURFACE:

Class B surface is used for plastic molding purposes. For providing the product, a Class-B surface is used mostly.
After creating the tooling axis next, I will make the Class B surface.
For making a Class B surface, I will use the following command:

Boundary: Select the required boundary if required.
Extraction: In this, no boundary is required, so go to extract the flat surface of class A.
Untrim: After extraction, Untrim those surfaces.
Extrapolate: extrapolate those surfaces.
Trim: trim those extrapolated surfaces to get the desired surface.

3. CLASS-C SURFACE:

Boundary: pick the boundary for the next operation.
Swept: swept the selected boundary.
Extrapolate: surface can't join properly, so I used to extrapolate those surfaces.
Trim: trim those extrapolated surfaces and get the required surface.
Join: now join those surfaces with each other and form a single surface.

4. Final Operation to get Door trim:

Firstly, Select the join operation and join the class A and class C surfaces.
Trim those join with the class B surface.
After that, I got the final Door trim.
As the surface is hollow from the inside, for this go to the part workbench and select the close surface.
After that analyze the output surface with draft analysis.
So, in this way, we got our final design as a Door trim Pannel.

5. Flanges :

With the help of the master section, we have to create the flanges.
Firstly, we have to read the master section and find what information it provides to us.
After reading or analyzing of master section and using the following commands I created the flange:

Plane: with the help of three-point, I created the plane.
Sketch: with the help of the master section just transfer those sections to sketch.
Sweep: Sweep the sketch with the profile and guide curve.
Edge fillet: provide fillet at the surface where it's in the master section.
Thickness: insert a new body and thicken the surface.
Extrude: extrude the line from the surface.
Offset: offset the extruded surface at the required length of the flange.
Split: split the thicker part with an offset surface.
Draft: provide the draft on the thickened object where needed.
