Week 8 - Challenge 1 - Draft Analysis on a Fan Cover

Title- Create the tooling axis for the given Fan cover model meeting the requirements of the draft angle and perform the Draft analysis on the model.

Objectives-

1. To understand requirements of tooling direction

2. To create tooling axis

3. To understand & perform draft analysis for Class A surface of fan cover part

Creating Tooling Axis-

1. Repair given input surfaces and join them together to form Class A surface & give surfaces suitable color codes

2. Creating point at the hole center.

3. With the help of the point & Z direction dummy tooling axis is created

4. Intersection command used to obtain curve with the help of CAS & plane which was created using ZX plane and point.

5. Lines are created along slant edges of the intersecting curve

6. With bisection line command we have created main tooling axis between 2 slant lines.

7. We have our main tooling axis

Draft analysis of CAS-

1. Click on the draft analysis icon & select draft direction option.

2. Pick the compass red point and drop it on tooling axis such that it will align with it.

3. Give the proper inputs of draft angle and select the surface to which we are performing draft analysis.

Also give proper color codes to represent different zones.

The model with the proper color code of the draft angle in various orientations-

Conclusion-

1. We have understood requirements of tooling direction

2. We have created tooling axis

3. We have understood & perform draft analysis for Class A surface of fan cover part
