Week 11 - Project - A pillar Design with Master Section
Create the A Pillar with Master Section Plastic component through the given Class-A surface. To begin with, the tooling axis for the given Class-A Surface should be created meeting the requirements of the draft angle and at the end perform the Draft analysis on the model.
Take the Thickness of the component to be 2.5 mm
Tooling axis: The direction in which the mold or core and cavity opens is the tooling axis.
Step-1:
Connectivity of Class-A surface:
Creating boundaries or just utilising the join option will allow you to check the surface's connectedness while making any openings visible.
Step-2:
Find the ideal tooling axis by conducting a visual analysis.
The Point-direction command will immediately constructs a tooling axis.
Checking for possibilities (clearances) in all axis directions and determining the problem-creation parts of the component or model.

DOG HOUSE FRONT AND BACK FACE TOOLING AXIS
DOG HOUSE SIDE CORE TOOLING AXIS
Draft Analysis for Class-A Surface:
DOG HOUSE SIDE FACE TOOLING AXIS CREATION:
After choosing the tooling axis, draft analysis is carried out to see if the minimum draft (3 degrees) is being maintained.
Compass is used to define the draft direction.
If the minimum draft 3 degree is provided the whole component changes in to green colour.
DOG HOUSE FRONT AND BACK FACE TOOLING AXIS
After choosing the tooling axis, draft analysis is carried out to see if the minimum draft (3 degrees) is being maintained.
Compass is used to define the draft direction.
If the minimum draft 3 degree is provided the whole component changes in to green colour.
Class-B Surface:
To generate a class-B surface, extract each wall, un-trim it, then extrapolate it to get the shape by trimming the excess surfaces and offsetting it to a particular distance based on the thickness of the model. The B-Surface will serve as the offset surface.
Class-C Surface:
C-Surface is the surface that is produced when the borders of A-surface are swept along the tooling axis to link A to B-surface using the sweep option.
Trimming the extra surfaces from the B and 'A and C Surfaces Join' will generate a closed surface, which will then be used to make a solid model using the Closed surface option.
