Week 8 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design

REPORT

Initially we need to create tooling axis. created a dummy tooling axis in the center of hole in Z direction. then created an intersection on YZ plane and A surface and extended the sloped lines from the intersection. then created a line by using bisecting method which is taked as the main tooling axis.

Then went to the draft analysis. where the direction of compass set along into the direction of tooling axis. then provided minimum draft is 3 degree. and changed the colour.

     

then started to make class B surface. initially created 2 ribs that is extracted from classA, then untrim and extrapolate it.

and offseted it in the required thickness(2.5mm). also done these for the base surface.then trimmed all together and formed required shape. created fillet in the edges. then for creating class C , sweeped the outer boundary and inner holes of classA with respect to the draft direction at an angle of 3 degree.

atlast trimmed the class A with the class C then with the class B. and finally checked the draft alalysis and made into a closed surface.
