Week 8 - Challenge 2 - Base Bracket Design

AIM: -

To perform draft analysis on Class A Surface with the help of tooling axis by using bisection method and to create class B and C surface with the help of class a surface.

Objective: -

The main objective is to perform draft analysis on class A surface with the help of tooling axis by using Bisection method .then with the same class A surface we create class B and class C surface and then create a solid body of the final component.

Procedure:-

Dummy tooling axis creation:

First, we choose which is the possible direction to create the dummy tooling axis. The x and y are not good to create the dummy tooling axis because the core and cavity will not able to move in that direction. The best possible direction is Z-direction where we can create a dummy tooling axis.

First, we create a point on the hole of the base surface:

Then we use line command to create a line which will be the dummy tooling axis.

After this, we will create a plane and then use the intersection command on yz plane of the class A surface.

By extending sidewalls

We will create a tooling axis with the help of the bisection method.

after this, we will perform a draft analysis on the class A surface.

As the design is safe for production. We can forward it to the next step.

Now we will create a B surface with the help of a class A surface .first we extract components of the class a surface and untrim them .create a rib.

And offset both sides and create both ribs.

applying the same method we will create a class b surface but the gap between surface A and B is 2.5mm.

CLASS B SURFACE.

After creating b surface we will create a C surface. first we will create a boundary of class a surface.

then we will use the sweep command here to give width to the Class A surface.

Class C Surface

after creating a c surface we will connect surfaces and have a final component.

then we will go into the part design part and create a close surface.

then we will publish the tooling axis, class A,B, and C surface.
