Week 8 - Challenge 2 - Switch Bezel Design

AIM: TO DESIGN SWITCH BEZEL USING CLASS A SURFACE AND PERFORM DRAFT ANALYSIS ON THE DESIGN

Procedure:

• Check the boundary and ensure the class A surface form a continuous boundary.
• Tooling axis is created with bisection method. Intersection of the class A surface with a plane is made and the edges which are parallel were bisected to form a line and later this line in bisected with another line in X-Z plane view. The line thus fomed is considered as tooling axis.
• Draft analysis is performed to verify the tooling axis direction
• The surface of switch bezel are extracted. on these extracted surfaces operations such as Untrim and extrapolate are performed and later these are offset by a distance of 2.5mm to form a class B surface.
• Class C surface is made through the boundary and Class C and Class A are joined.
• The joined Class C and A is trimmed with Class A to form a closed part.
• Using Closed surface feature in part design a solid part is made.
• Draft analysis is performed on the solid body finally.
