Week 11 - Project - A pillar Design with Master Section
Objective:
To design A -PILLAR, from the given input master section and CLASS A surface and performs draft analysis in the various stage of design.
Input:
Class-A Surface with Master Section
Tooling Axis:
The draft analysis tool used to analyze the feasibility of the CAD model for manufacturing. With the help of this tool, we can determine the available draft in the CAD model is sufficient or not. Proper draft will help to easier ejection of the part from the tool and whereas insufficient draft will end ends up in multiple tooling and part quality issue.
Bisecting Method:
Extract the line from the master section in order to get the tooling Axis.
Creating tooling axis with Bisecting line
Draft Analysis for Class-A Surface
Class B Surface
Measuring the distance from master section of A-Pillar, in order to make the class B Surface offset.
Class B Surface
Creating Class C Surface
Through various sweep, multi section command and with the help of class-A surface we make the class C Surface.
Closed Surface
Draft Analysis of Closed Surface
Converting the Closed body into Solid Body
Procedure to create the Engineering Feature- Using Master Section
Creating a Plane for Dog House Feature
Extract the master section in Sketch
Extrude the Sketch
Side Core Tooling Axis
Adding Draft of 1.5° on outer surface
Split the Extrude feature in order to get the exact width of dog house as per master section
Remove the material from the intersection part as per design standard i.e., 40% of main wall thickness
Applying 0.5° draft inside the inner profile of dog house
Dog house Draft analysis result

CONCLUSION:
A Pillar Design with the master section given as the intersection sketch with the Class A surface is successfully created along the tooling axis and perform the Draft analysis for the final part.
