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

Draft Analysis on a Fan Cover



Aim :- The main objective is to perform a draft analysis on the given CAD model.

Procedure :-

  • Open the CAT part, for doing the operation of draft analysis.
  • Select file click ok, and open the CAT part.
  • Before doing the drafting analysis, make sure that the whole part is joined or not.
  • If it's not joined properly. First join it properly.
  • After the whole part is joined, then start the draft analysis.
  • Take the center point of the circle.
  • Take the line and draw the line with the help of circle intersection and point with reference.
  • Drag the line in z - axis.
  • Click on the intersection icon and take the xz- axis and press enter button.
  • Then the xz planes will be shown very properly.

  • Extract the both lines on either side.

  • After extracting the lines, bisecting the extracted lines to make a single line.
  • Bisecting line is called the Tooling axis.
  • After completing the xz axis then take the yz axis to planes to check the axis lines.
  • After taking the yz lines the images are shown in figure.

  • With the help of both lines, we create the bisecting line.
  • After bisecting the center plane called as tooling axis 2.

  • With the help of both tooling axis line 1 and tooling axis line 2 combine to form an axis plane.
  • After that we have to click on customize view property icon to select the material.
  • After selecting the material then only open the draft analysis.
  • For opening the draft analysis, press select > tools>analysis>draft analysis.click on ok button.
  • After opening the draft analysis, we have the check the draft allowance is less than 3 which is in red color. In blue color zero value is to be the correct value.

Draft analysis : -

  • changed the color in draft analysis.

Result :-

The draft analysis and toolin axis is created and the model is checked, there are no errors in the model.
