Week 8 - Challenge 1 - Draft Analysis on a Fan Cover
REPORT:
- For the given Fan Cover catpart first we need to make the basic checks i.e. check the continuity of the part ensure that there is no gap between the surfaces we can take the help of surface command for this.
- The next step is to create a dummy tooling axis from the centre point of the Fan Cover Class A Surface
- To obtain the main Tooling Axis we will have to create tooling clearance axis in X and Y direction and bisect them
- To create the tooling clearing X direction first create a axis system and form a intersect of Fan Cover Class A Surface with respect to ZX plane
- Now create a point to point line on the faces that might create error and create a bisecting line between the two faces and we would get the tooling line clearing X direction
- Follow the same procedure as mentioned above to form the tooling line clearing Y direction
- After that create a bisecting line using the tooling line clearing X & Y direction and we would get the main Tooling Axis
- For the draft analysis go to Insert-Analysis-Feature Draft Analysis and make sure the view mode is on material
- Inline the compass with the Tooling Axis and lock then click on the Fan Cover Class A Surface we will get the draft analysis for the Fan Cover Class A Surface the minimum draft required is of 3 degrees
- When we click on the Fan Cover Class A Surface it will turn green that means the required draft angle is maintained
- We can change the value of draft angle from the colour scale table and the Class A Surface will change the colour accordingly
- We can also analyse the draft at a particular point on the Class A Surface by moving the mouse cursor on the surfaces
