Week 8 - Challenge 2 - Base Bracket Design
*Creating B & C Surfaces with the refrence of Class A Surface.
Class-A Surface: The top-most surface which is present exterior of the component is siad to be a 'Class-A Surface'.
Class-B Surface: The Surface which is interior to the component is said to be a 'Class-B Surface'.
Class-C Surface: The Surface which joins the Class-A & B Surfaces is our 'Class-C Surface'.
Component:
Procedure:
Step-1:
- Create an axis for the component for which the component should move in tooling axis.
- For that, take an axis system and make intersection to corresponding plane.
- Then make a bisecting line to that intersection and make that line as your tooling axis.
- From that tooling axis, we're gonna make 'Class-B' & 'C Surfaces'.
Step-2:
- After taking your tooling axis, take the 'Class-A' Surface as the refrence to make 'Class-B' Surface.
- First take a 'Geometrical Set' and rename it as 'Class-B Surface' and work it from there.
- Then divide the Class-A into simpler geometry. First take the two ribs and work on it.
Step-3:
- On the first rib, Extract the three surfaces which acts as a rib.
Step-4:
- After Extracting, Untrim the surfaces and extrapolate it with point continuity.
Step-5:
- Trim those extrapolates and make it as a single component (rib).
Step-6:
- Make an offset to the trimmed component (rib) of 2.5mm downwards.
- Do the same process for another rib, slope surface and base surface also.
Step-7:
- Trim those four surfaces and make it as a single component (Class-B).
Step-8:
- Make fillets to your surface according to your thickness and Class-A Surface.
Step-9:
- Next step is to make 'Class-C' Surface from 'Class-A'.
- Take boundary to your 'Class-A' & sweep the curve to the draft direction.
- And Make the entire 'Class-A' to the 'Class-C' Surface.
Step-10:
- Now, Trim the 'Class-B' & 'Class-C' Surfaces to get a component which joins to your 'Class-A' and makes as a final component.
- Then you obtain your complete component.
Step-10:
- The last step of your component is to make a solid body by going into Part Workbench and doing 'Closed Surface' command. Then you obtain your PartBody.
Step-11:
- After making it as a complete body, do draft analysis and ensure the body to be manufacturable.
