Week 8 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design
FIRST WE HAVE TOCHECK THE GIVEN CLASS A SURFACE FOR THE CONTINUITY OF SURFACE. THE CONTINUITY OF SURFACE CAN BE CHECKED BY USING BOUNDARY OR JOIN COMMAND IN CATIA.
THEN WE LOOK FOR BEST DIRECTION FOR TOOLING BY CHECKING IN WHICH DIRECTION IT IS TO EJECT THE PART WITHOUT ANY SIDE CORE IF POSSIBLE.
WE LOOK FOR THE DIRECTION IN WHICH THE WHOLE PART CREATED IN MAIN TOOLING ITSELF.
FIRST ONE SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR A FLAT SURFACE OR HOLE TO CRATE A DUMMY TOOLING AXIS.
AFTER THAT TAKE A INTERSECTION AT THE AXIS CENTER.
AFTER THAT ETEND THE LINE IN INTERSECTED GEOMTRY TO CREATE MAIN TOOLING AXIS.
AFTER THIS THE BISECTING LINE IS CREAATED BY USING THE EXTENDED LINES. THAT BISECTED LINE IS OUR MAIN TOOLING AXIS.
AFTER TOOLING AXIS CREATED WE TAKE DRAFT ANALYSIS IN TOOLING DIRECTION. WE HAVE TO GO TO INSERT -ANALYSIS - FEATURE DRAFT ANALYSIS. THEN SELECT THE VIEW IN VIEW BAR CUSTOMISE VIEW PARAMETER AND THEN SELECT THE MATERIAL
.
AFTER THAT CLICK ON COMPASS AND THEN MOVE COMPASS TO ALIGN IT WITH TOOLING AXIS ENSURING IT IS IS FACING UPWARD.
THE GREEN COLOR SHOWS THE HERE THE DRAFT ANGLE IS MORE THAN 3 DEGREES.
BY INVERTING THE DIRECTION IT SHOWS IN BLUE COLOR SINCE THE ANGLE HERE LESS THAN 0 DEGREES.
BY SWITCHING TO FULL ANALYSIS WE CAN HAVE MULTIPLE COLOR FOR RANGE OF ANGLES.
