Week 8 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design
AIM: TO DESIGN BASE BRACKET USING CLASS A SURFACE AND PERFORM DRAFT ANALYSIS ON THE DESIGN
Procedure:
- Check the boundary and ensure the class A surface form a continuous boundary.
- Tooling axis is created with bisection method. Intersection of the class A surface with a plane is made and the edges which are parallel were bisected to form a line which is considered as tooling axis.
- Draft analysis is performed to verify the tooling axis direction
- The faces of the base bracket are extracted. on these extracted surfaces operations such as Untrim and extrapolate are performed and later these are offset by a distance of 2.5mm to form a class B surface.
- Class C surface is made through the boundary and Class C and Class A are joined.
- The joined Class C and A is trimmed with Class A to form a closed part.
- Using Closed surface feature in part design a solid part is made.
- Draft analysis is performed on the solid body finally.
