Door Trim Panel
Problem Statement:
1. Create a closed body of the door trim panel using the Class A surface provided along with the master section.
2. Create a push pin with the dog house for the lower substrate.
3. Use Heat Stakes for the part to the part attachment.
Introduction:
The door trim Panel is the interior plastic component attached to the sheet metal part of the door. It is designed differently based on the design of the sheet metal part of the door. Besides its aesthetic look, it also has many functional features attached to it such as an armrest, bottle holder, speaker attachment, etc.
Given A surface:
The different components given are
1. Armrest:
Map pocket:
This component is divided into two parts:
1.
2.
Lower Substrate:
Design for Armrest:
B surface:
It is offset from Class A for a distance of 2.5mm according to the given master section.
C surface along with A surface:
Class C surface is swept along the tooling direction with a nominal 3 degrees with tooling direction.
Closed surface:
The closed surface is created using the trim command between Class A, Class B, and Class C surfaces.
Closed surface with engineering features:

Along the side core axis:
Map Pocket:
Top part:
A Surface:
B Surface:
B surface is created by offsetting Class A for 2.5mm following the given master section.

Closed surface:
Closed Surface with side features:
Closed Body with side features:
Draft analysis:
With the nominal draft angle of 3 degrees for the closed component:
With the draft angle of 0.5 degrees for the side features:
Map Pocket bottom part:
A Surface
B Surface:
Class B is created with an offset of 2.5mm from the Class A surface.
A surface along with C surface:
Class C surface is swept normal to the tooling direction since the C surface is perpendicular to the tooling direction.
Closed surface:
Closed surface with attachment features:

Draft Analysis:
With the draft angle of 2.9 degrees from the tooling axis
With the draft angle of 0.5 degrees with the tooling axis.

Final Assembly of door trim panel:
Conclusion:
1. Closed surface is created with the given Class-A surface and following the given master section.
2. Closed body is created along with the engineering features.
3. Draft analysis is performed to check the surfaces of the model which does not clear the minimum draft angle.
