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

REPORT :-

For the Draft Analysis of Fan cover, 1st see if the surface is closed, by using join or boundary options. Then we should see, the perfect orientation of the fan cover for obtaining the tooling axis. By observing in all direction, we have selected the z-direction for the tooling axis. Then insert a axis system. In z-x plane obtain its intersection on fan cover. By using the intersection, see which line can create problem during molding or for giving draft. Extend the two lines with line command and by using the bisecting method, bisect the two lines and obtain the tooling axis in X-direction. Similarly, using y-z plane intersect it with the fan cover and obtain the intersection. In the intersection see if there are some line which can create some issues. Extend the two lines and bisect it by the bisecting command from line command. Then the bisected line is our tooling axis in Y-direction. We will bisect these X and Y direction axis, to obtain the final Tooling Axis.By using this axis will do the draft analysis on the fan cover.

For Draft Analysis, we will select the option from Insert -> Analysis -> Featured Draft Analysis. By selecting it , we will select the compass option from the dialogue box which will appear on the screen and place it perfectly on the Tooling axis (We should highlight the Tooling Axis with our convenience.). Then after placing the compass, when we will move the cursor on the fan cover red cross will be shown, click it anywhere and the requied color will be shown. Color Scale will be shown in the dialogue box. Hence the Draft analysis will be obtained.
