Week 8 - Challenge 2 - Base Bracket Design
OBJECTIVE:
Create the Base Bracket Plastic component through the given Class-A surface. To begin with, the tooling axis for the given Class-A Surface should be created meeting the requirements of the draft angle and at the end perform the Draft analysis on the model.
ANALYSIS APPROACH:
Before going to feature draft analysis, we should create tooling axis, for a component.
Creating tooling axis:
- Create a point on class A surface with the aim to move the main tool for component creation.
- Creating a line using the point created.
- Using intersect command from generative shape design select yz plane as the first element and the class A surface as the second element
- After creating the intersecting lines select the line command and join the vertices which show the most possible draft angle manufacturable and bisect those lines over the axis point we selected at the first.
Draft analysis on class A surface:
- Before doing feature draft analysis, make sure the custom view parameter is in material mode.
- After tooling axis select the feature draft analysis option from the insert option.
- Select the element to analyze.
- Next use the compass icon to define the new current draft direction option and make it align with the tooling axis by dragging it to the axis.
- If the color appears blue just click the invert option on the right side of the draft direction axis button.
Draft analysis on solid part:
- Select the element to analyze
- Use compass icon to define the new current draft direction option and make it align with the tooling axis by dragging it to the axis.
