Detailed Report:

Tooling axis creation

• The direction in which the mould opens and closes is called the tooling axis direction.
• Check the connectivity of the surface and ensure there will be no gap between the surfaces and then define the tooling axis.
• While creating a tooling axis please ensure to give the tooling axis on a flat-length surface or the surface which have a hole in it.
• Create a point on the middle of the base surface by using a point on the surface command then create an intersection for the surface and extract the reference lines which will be helpful for creating the dummy tooling axis using the intersect method by creating a bisecting line.
• Use the line command and draw the lines aligned with the extracted lines and extend it to the required length.

Bisecting method

• Identify on which plane we have to do more operations and create the plane or axis on the component area and define it on the dummy tooling axis direction.
• Intersect the class A surface with that plane then we will get an intersection sketch. Look for the profile (inclined line) which will create a problem and extract it then extend it by using the line command.
• Then create a bisecting line with reference to the lines we have extended and this will be our main tooling axis.
• In this case, we have created a tooling axis along with the Y direction with reference to the base surface.

Draft analysis

• The draft allows for the component to release from the mould, most parts or applications require a minimum of 0.5 to 1-degree draft angle and a 3-degree draft angle is widely used as per the norm.
• Change the material mode to customize mode before moving to the draft analysis.
• Insert –analysis-feature draft analysis
• Defining the draft direction Select draft analysis from the toolbar and click on the compass symbol and pull the compass from the right-side top corner of the workbench and place it on the component where want to do the draft analysis. ‘W’ of the compass and tooling axis should be aligned on the same line.
• Once the compass is aligned with the tooling axis click on the lock symbol and drag on the surface we will get a wrong mark then select that point a table will appear it shows the draft value on the table we can adjust the draft value and analysis it for all the edges and surfaces.
• By clicking on the surface and using the flipping tool we can assign the Flipping direction, the color of the surface change as per the flipping direction.
• Analysis under running point and move the mouse on the surface and will show the details of the surface deg direct at each and every point of the surface.
