Week 8 - Challenge 3 - Switch Bezel Design

Given Class A Surface

Procedure To Creat A Tooling Axis

• First The given class A surface is imported to the catia v5 software.
• By using boundary option the suface is checked for any discotunity(Can also done by using join option).
• Then on the extracted surface a point was created and a respective axis system withrespect to that point as origin.

• By using axis system and intersecting comand two different intersect are created through using XZ &YZ planes Respectivly in different sketchs.
• Then the lines are extended using point to point line command and then an axis was created for each intersect separetly using bisecting line comand in each sketch.
• Then the tooling Axis was created with respect to the both the axises created.

Publication

The tooling axis and the Class A surface are publishied for furter easy referance.Tool->Publication

Performing Draft Analysis

• Insert->Analysis->Feature Draft Analysis

• Draft analysis was carried out by placeing the copass over the tooling axis And locked to a specific direction.

Draft analysis for closed body

• If the surface is green then it passes the requirements or else further operation needed to be carried out.
