Week 8 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design

AIM: To create a base bracket plastic component designed based on the given class A surface.A Surface should be created meeting the requirements of the draft angle and Draft analysis on the model.

REPORT ON DRAFT ANALYSIS:

given class A surface:

Creating a Tooling axis:

Therefore the main tooling axis is along z axis.Now perform the Draft analysis using the Featured Draft Analysis tool in the tools.Then after opening the draft analysis tool box go for the compass and place the compass alinged to tooling axis and click on the lock symbol after alinging and further click on the surface.

Draft Analysis:

Creation of Class B Surface:

• First extracting the right side rib using extract option from Class A surface.
• Then perform Extrapolate inorder to increase the length
• Now trim the surfaces to required surfaces
• Then Offset the surface inorder to get the required thickness
• Similary create the left side rib
• Now Similarly get the slanted as well as the flat surface and offset it to desired value
• And now trim inorder to get the required surface
• Now fillet the surfaces.

Conclusion:

the Base Bracket Plastic component through the given Class-A surface. To begin with, the tooling axis for the given Class-A Surface created meeting the requirements of the draft angle and at the end perform the Draft analysis on the model has been successfully designed using CATIA V5 Softwere.
