Week 12- Final project

1. class A surface was improved to get rid of gaps within adjacent sheets, verifying with boundary tool. It was continuous line, hence confirmed.

2. tooling axis was created now.

2. class B surface was formed by offsetting the class A surface by a thickness, as derived from the master section. deformitioes in this surface was resolved by using various tools to generate surface, extrapolate, make guide curves, using trim surfaces, extracting curves and surfaces, using join commmand and healing, sewing surface as and wen needed, sweeping surface.

3. class C surface was made using the sweep command mostly. sweeping with a guide curve and tooling axis was mostly used. Thickened part is created using master section.

4. then final trim was made to convert the sheet work into a solid body.

5. these steps were followed for every CATPart.

All CATPart and CATProduct is attached.

Master section is referred for nominak thickness.

Attachment strategy for the door panel complete work is shown in the final CATProduct.

Push pin is used for the Dog house for Lower substrate – Door panel attachment.

heat stakes are used for part to part attachment.

The mounting features are created as per design guidelines in the industry and with master sections.

Material is applied to do the draft analysis. Tooling feasibility is checked as well.

tooling axis creation:

1. fromt the 3 axes: x, y and z; an axis was chosen such that most of the part is visible.

2. then section was taken so that two dummy axes can be formed.

3. then mid line of these two dummy axes was chosen to be the final tooling axis. It was published then.

draft analysis:

1. it was carried out by selecting the material in customize view.

2. green areas are which depict a proper drafting of the material.

3. most of the green surfaces should be there in the part, having max of 3 degrees of draft angle if not 2 degrees. Here 1.45 degrees was chosen.

4. after selecting the material part, we drop the axis on the tooling axis to establish the colors, mostly green.

5. this means that the part can be manufactured properly.

1. Heat Stakes, locators, dog houses, flanges were created considering the design rules mentioned in the earlier videos.

2. Positioned sketch was used.

3. points in the model were plotted and used to create the locators and Heat stakes.
