Week 8 - Challenge 1 - Draft Analysis on a Fan Cover
Draft Analysis on a Fan Cover
Aim: To 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.
Draft analysis
The Draft Analysis command enables you to detect if the part you drafted will be easily removed. This type of analysis is performed based on color ranges identifying zones on the analyzed element where the deviation from the draft direction at any point, corresponds to specified values.
Tooling axis creation
The direction in which the mold or core and cavity opens is the tooling axis. And for that the model is visually analyzed to know which is the most suitable direction for tooling axis. After analyzing the direction, we can create dummy tooling axis. Then tooling axis in X and Y directions are created and by bisecting method, that is bisecting the X and Y tooling axis, we can find the real tooling axis.
