Screenshots of the solid model with the proper color code of the draft angle in various orientations (Isometric, Front, Side, and Top View).

Report:

1.) Creation of Tooling Axis

i.) First visually checked where does the tooling axis should be provide by checking the direction and holes.

ii.) In this surface there is a hole so, decided to fix the tooling axis in big hole then Dummy tooling axis are created on the hole for reference.

iii.) Intersection line are taken with xy plane along with the surface and two slanting vertical line in two sides are drawn as per the image.

iv.) Now draw the third bisecting line is created by choosing that two lines and point and indicates that third bisecting line as "Tooling Axis".

v.) Hence, the tooling Axis is created.

2.) Creation of Draft Analysis

i.) The draft analysis technique is used to analyze whether our part model created in Catia is manufacturable based on the draft condition applied.

ii.) First fix the compass in the tooling axis line by selecting the compass in the draft analysis.

iii.) Angle also be checked in given class A surface then class B and class C surface are developed.

iv.) After the development of class B and C again the Checking process are held.

v.) If there is any mistake it visually evaluates surface draft-angle using false-color analysis (red).

vi.) Then the mistakes are cleared and get back to draft analysis for checking it should be in green in upper cavity surface and blue in lower mould surface.

vii.) Hence, the process.
