Week 8 - Challenge 2 - Base Bracket Design

                                               BASE BRACKET DRAFT ANALYSIS:

DRAFT ANALYSIS REPORT :

• FROM the A suraface i created a tooling axis and i created a lines and then the bisecting line. 
• Then i created a Geometrical set named B Surface.
• In the B surface of the Base Bracket i have taken two Ribs separately giving with 2.5 mm offset for the both ribs indiviously and i made a operations    

B surface:

1. Extract
2. Surface unitrim
3. Extrapolation
4. Offset 
5. Trim 

• Then i have created a C surface and in it i have made operations

C surface:

1. Boundary
2. Sweep
3. Join
4. Fillet

over all features used for design A B C class surfaces:

1. line
2. point
3. axis system
4. extrude 
5. untrim
6. extrapolate
7. extract
8. boundary 
9. join
10. sweep
11. fillet
12. close surface
13. intersecting
14. publication- A B C SURFACES AND TOOLING AXIS
15. draft analysis.

• FOR the solid body i have created a close surface operation in part design.
• For the sweep i have given 3 degree for the down side draft direction.

SNAPSHOTS OF GENERATIVE SHAPE DESIGN:

A class surface with tooling axis.

B class surface with 2.5 mm offset.

C CLASS SURFACE WITH OUT FINAL TRIM

 

Final output after trim C class with b class.

Closed solid body of Bace Bracket.

SNAPSHOTS OF FEATURE DRAFT ANALYSIS:

CONCLUSION 

THUS the Manufacturable Base Bracket was successfully Designed and analyzed Draft angle using Catia V5 Surface Workbench.
