Week 12- Final project

Door Trim Design

Objective - 

Creation of CAD model considering following inputs as like in OEM and tier1 companies

1. a) Class A surface
2. b) Nominal thickness : Refer master sections
3. c) Attachment strategy : 

Find a attachment strategy for the door panel complete work.

Use Push pin with Dog house for Lower substrate – Door panel attachment

Use heat stakes for part to part attachment

Methodology

• We have received input that includes Class A surfaces for various components of the door trim, such as the Main Substrate, Lower Substrate, Map Pocket, and Armrest
• Additionally, the master sections for flanges and heat stakes are provided along with the Class A surfaces
• Given the complexity of the project, we will organize all the files in a geometrical set to ensure simplicity and orderliness

Tooling Axis

• Our initial steps involve the creation of tooling axes and conducting draft analysis for the provided Class A surfaces
• The tooling axis can be determined using either the bisection method or by positioning a compass through the center of mass, allowing us to identify the appropriate tooling axis
• the following are tooling axis and draft analysis for the given class A

Class B Surface

• Once the tooling axis has been established, the next step involves generating Class B surfaces for each of the provided surfaces

Class C Creation

• After creating class B, we create class C surface by sweeping Class A along the tooling Axis

• Finally the class C is trimmed with class A to obtain a Solid body

 

• After Obtaining the solid body, we work on the fixtures and heat stakes with respect to the master section obtained

• Finally we Create dog house and assemble the pushclips to the dog house as specified
