Week 11 - Project - A pillar Design with Master Section

A-PILLAR CHALLENGE:

INPUT GIVEN:

• 2D DRAWING FOR DOG HOUSE.
• CLASS A SURFACE OF PRODUCT(A PILLAR).
• MASTER SECTION FOR REFERENCE.

REQUIRED OUTPUT:

• CREATION OF SOLID PART USING CLOSED SURFACE FEATURE.
• CREATION OF A DOG HOUSE AS PER DESIGN GUIDELINES.
• REPORT GENERATION FOR PART.

CLASS A SURFACE:

THE GIVEN CLASS A IS VISUALLY CHECKED.

THERE ARE NO GAPS.

MAIN TOOLING AXIS:

IN THE Y AXIS ONLY ALMOST ALL SURFACES ARE VISIBLE.

WITH THE GIVEN MASTER SECTION LINES WHICH ARE ALMOST PARALLEL LINES ARE EXTRACTED.

WITH THOSE LINES, THE TOOLING AXIS IS CREATED BY THE BISECTING METHOD.

DRAFT ANALYSIS CLASS A:

CLASS A IS NOT CLEARING 3 3-DEGREE DRAFT ANALYSIS SOME AREAS ARE IN RED.

I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT I'M TAKING THIS INFORMATION TO THE STYLING TEAM BY MAKING A PRESENTATION.

GIVEN CLASS A SURFACE CLEARS 2-DEGREE DRAFT ANALYSIS.

CLASS B SURFACE:

CLASS A IS OFFSETTED TO THE GIVEN THICKNESS VALUE.

THERE ARE SOME MISSING SURFACES.

PATCHING NEED TO BE DONE.

PATCHING AND EXRTAPOLATED SURFACE IN CYAN COLOUR (CLASS B).

CLASS C SURFACE:

BY CREATING BOUNDARIES AND CLASS A THE CLASS C INPUT FOR THE SWEEP OPTION IS READY.

WITH THE BOUNDARY AND CLASS A SURFACE CLASS C IS GENERATED.

ALL SURFACES (TOP AND SIDE) ARE TRIMMED TOGETHER.

CLASS A+C:

JOINING THE FINAL CLASS C SURFACE WITH CLASS A SURFACE.

CLASS A+B+C:

CLASS A+C SURFACE IS TRIMMED WITH EXTRAPOLATED CLASS B SURFACE.

SOLID PART A PILLAR:

WITH THE CLOSED SURFACE COMMAND SOLIDPART IS CREATED.

DRAFT ANALYSIS A PILLAR:

THE SOLID PART CLEARES 2.3 DEGREE DRAFT ANALYSIS.

A AND B SIDE SURFACES ARE CLEARING THE ANALYSIS.

SOME SURFACES ON C SIDE ARE NOT CLEARING DUE TO SOME CLASS A SURFACE EDGES.

THESE PICTURES AND INFORMATION ARE CONVEYED TO STYLING TEAM.

ENGINEERING FEATURES:

THERE ARE MANY ENGINEERING FEATURES.

IN THIS CAD EXERCISE WE ARE USING DOG HOUSE AS ENGINEERING FEATURE(EF) FOR OUR A-PILLAR.

DOG HOUSE IS A EF IN PLASTIC TRIMS. IT IS ASUPPORTING FEATURE.

IN SOME CASES TOP OF DOG HOUSE OTHER EF LIKE CLIP, SNAP, LOCATORS IS DESINED TO INCREASE THEIR STRENGTH.

DOG HOUSE:

WE NEED TO CREATE A DOG HOUSE BY REFERRING THE MASTER SECTION.

LIFTER AXIS IS CREATED PERPENDICULAR TO MASTER SECTION PLANE.

BY REFERRING TO ALL THE INPUTS (MASTER SECTION, 2D DRAWING) THE MEASUREMENT LOCATION ARE DECIDED.

BY CONSIDERING THE FUTURE EDIT THE TREE STRUCTURE OF DOG HOUSE SHOULD BE ORGANISED.

THE FIRST BASE OF THE DOG HOUSE IS CREATED.

ISO-CONSTRAINED SKETCHES:

SKETCH FOR RIBS INSIDE DOG HOUSE

DOG HOUSE TOP CUT-OUT SKETCH

THICKNESS REDUCTION IN BOTTOM TO AVOID SINK MARKS IN CLASS A SURFACE.

DRAFTS AND FILLETS ARE GIVEN AT LAST TO HAVE SMOOTH UPDATES IN DIMENSION AND TO AVOID ERRORS WHILE UPDATING THE FEATURE TREE.

MASTER SECTION (WHITE) AND INTERSECTION CURVE (PURPLE) OF SOLID PART.

THE DOG HOUSE MATCHES THE MASTER SECTION.

DRAFT ANALYSIS OF DOG HOUSE:

THE YELLOW MARKUP IN THAT CUT-OUT ALSO DRAFTED IT CLEARS IN MTD.

DRAFT ANALYSIS FINAL COMPONENT:

THE DOG HOUSE CLEARES 1.4-DEGREE DRAFT ANALYSIS FROM THE MAIN TOOLING DIRECTION(MTD).

THE A PILLAR CLEARS A 2.3-DEGREE DRAFT ANALYSIS.

FEATURE TREE COLLAPSED:

FEATURE TREE EXPANDED:

CONCLUSION:

IN THIS CHALLENGE I HAVE CREATED A SOLID PART BY CLOSED SURFACE COMMAND AND ADDED A DOG HOUSE AS PER INPUT AND DESIGN GUIDELINES.

THE DRAFT ANALYSIS IS DONE FOR CLASS A, THE FINAL COMPONENT, THE DOG HOUSE SEPARATELY AND THE PPT IS CREATED FOR OTHER TEAM REFERENCE.
