Week 8 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design

Draft analysis will give us the draft angle on multiple surfaces without the need of the manual measurements.The first step is to change the shading style to “Shading with Material”
For creating a normal tool axis,we should look for holes in the component or the very flat surfaces on the component,We have to divide the component to get a simpler view and for recognising easily, So creating the dummy axis with in the holes inroder to get the right x,y,z direction of our component,So give the tool axis a different color for understanding.For getting the surfaces in the y direction we are creating a reference plane in yz plane with the reference point that we created in the hole.So intersecting the component with this created plane.We are creating two lines in the location of the ribes are coming ,After this we are creating a bisecting line with these 2 lines and the point so we got the tooling axis.We can pick the draft feature analysis and take the compass option and drop it anywhere on the surface and find out the draft angle and if we pick on any surface we ll get the minimum draft angle required,

From this we can found out the fillet dimentioins are nearly equal to 3.In w8 draft analysis video we got a class a surface,we created a dummy tooling axis using a intersect method and 2 lines,by a bisecting line we created tooling axis,From the A surface we will be creating a B surface and we parted the surface into 4, 2 ribs and one base and a slope surface,First we extracted the parts of the ribs with no propogation , offseted the ribs and untrimmed them,by untrimming it will extend its surfaces and extrapolated the surfaces with curvture continuity and propogation mode as point continuity and trimmed all the surfaces and give a different color for understanding and done the same for the rib on the other side of the component,Then we done same for the base surface and trimmed it.

With the measurement tool we have to calculate the values for the fillets Then we created fillets out of this b surface.An dby creating the b surface ,we created an outer boundary of the class a surface,And we sweeped it with draft direction option wrt the draft axis to the bottom side arrow,And done the sweep to the holes also,And we joined the a and c surface and trimmed it with the b surface.And after that we created a closed body by going to the part design.
