Challenge

Week 8 - Challenge 3 - Coin Holder Design

  1. Intersect the model with the plane perpendicular or to an axis system.
  2. Extend the lines which are perpendicular to the plane.
  3. Again intersect the model with another plane and extend the lines perpendicular to it.
  4. Create a bisecting line by bisecting option in Line definition.

Rename it as Tooling Axis.

  • Extract the side walls with no propagation in extract option.
  • Untrim them.
  • Extrapolate the walls with point continuity of distance 20mm.
  • Trim the walls to get the required shape.
  • Offset those trimmed walls with thickness value.

  • Extract the surfaces separately and untrim them.
  • Extrapolate the surfaces with required distances.
  • Offset them with thickness value.
  • Trim them for required shape.
  • Measure the fillets, calculate it and create fillets.

  • Get the boundary lines of Class A surface separately.
  • Smooth the curves with a smooth option as boundary lines have a lot of vertices.
  • Sweep the curves with tooling axis as direction in Sweep option.
  • As both lines do not intersect, extrapolate them with a certain distance.
  • Trim the surfaces
  • Join the Class A and Class C surfaces
  • Trim those joined surfaces with Class B surfaces.
  • Go to Part Design and insert a Body.

Create a closed surface

  • Go to the Insert menu and select the Analysis option.
  • Select Feature Draft Analysis.
  • Select the Material option and select the surface.
  • Drag the compass and place on tooling axis.
  • Click on Okay after confirm the model.
