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

Aim:

To analyse the draft angle with respect to the fan cover.

Procedure:

• It is a fan cover that we are going to check the draft angle on this product.

• Initially the connectivity of the class A product should be check by using join and it has ensured that no suface gap inbetween it, it can also be checked in visual.

• By using the boundary option the boundry line will be created around the surface of the product.
• There are two boundary one being outer and another is inner.

• So that it must be disassambled and the connectivity of the surface must be checked.

• Then in all directions that sholud be checked for the perfect tooling axis that in which direction the tooling axis is good to view.
• In this particular product Z would be the best possilble tooling axis.
• For creating a tooling axis the new geometrical set has to be created, in that geometrical set the origin point must be fixed initially then the axis system is placed on that origin point.

• Then by taking the ZX plane the intersection will be done with respect to the fan cover and as a result there will two lines are projected the intersection line that is shown on the picture below.

• Before creating the original tooling axis the dummy tooling axis is created which is perendicular to the intersection line.

• The Bisecting line has to be created with the help of line command initially the point to point line is used to create two lines after that by using that two lines the bisecting line is also created by connecting the origin point.
• That bisecting line is Tooling axis for X direction and it is renamed as Tooling direction of X axis.

• In the same way the intersection line has to be created on the YZ plane for clear view the surface can be hided, in the same way two lines have to be created by the point to point line using that line the bisecting line has to be created.
• That line is Tooling axis for the Y direction and it also renamed.

• By having those X & Y tooling axis the tooling axis of the fan cover is created.

• Then the tooling axis and fan cover is projected for viewing easily.
• The publication of the fan cover and tooling axis has to be done for the easy access.

• Then opening the draft analysis tool bar which is in the Tools
• In the draft analysis toolbar the campus symbol which is there has to be picked and then red point on the campus can be moved to the toolingaxis in the perfect alignment, that campus is used to denote the draft direction.

• The cursor has to be moved over the fan cover, by clicking on the fan cover the product will be changed into green colour.
• There will be a analysis running point in that draft analysis toolbar by using that the angle of the surfaces can be easily finded.

• In that toolbar draft angle must be set in 3 degrees, if the angle is less or more then that, Then the product colour will bw changed into red.

Result:

Hence the Draft angle has been analysed on the fan cover which can able to design.
