Week 8 - Challenge 3 - Switch Bezel Design

AIM:- Create the Switch Bezel 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.

OBJECTIVE:-

• Create Tooling Axis
• Perform a draft analysis on Class-A surface
• Creation of Class-B and Class-C surface
• Creation of the proper tree structure
• Publishing the Tooling Axis and Class A, B, and c surface.

CONSTRUCTION:-

• First, check the connectivity of the Class-A surface by using the boundary condition.

Creation of Tooling Axis:-

• First, extract the surface and create a point on the center of the surface.

• Select intersection and select element to intersect as Class-A surface.

• Create 2 lines at the intersection of the surface and bisect both the line on the point.

• In zx plane create another line intersect the line.

• Create a bisecting line of both the line.

• The below image shows the tolling axis.

Creation of Class-B Surface:-

• Extract and untrim the bezel rest surface.

• Offset the surface at a distance of 2.5.

• Extract the wall.

• Surface untrim and extrapolate the wall.

• Trim all three surfaces.

• Offset the wall at a distance of 2.5.

• Extract, untrim, and extrapolate the base surface.

• Offset The base surface at a distance of 2.5.

• Trim the bezel rest surface, wall, and base.

• Give the edge fillet value and then the final Class-B surface is created.

Creation of Class-C Surface:-

• First, create the boundary and smooth the curve

• In sweep surface definition select line in profile type and subtype as with draft direction.

• Select the guide curve as the boundary and draft direction as the tooling axis.

• Extrapolate the sweep surface.

• Then Trim the surface with Class-A surface.

• Finally, trim the Class B-surface with a Class-C surface.

• Create the close surface of the final surface.

Publication of Tooling axis, Class-A surface, Class-B surface, Class-C surface, and Final surface:-

Draft Analysis:-

• To start the draft analysis first go to material view mode customization and select material.

• Go to "Insert>Analysis>Draft analysis"

• Fix the compass in the tooling axis by dragging the compass to the tooling axis.

• Select a show or hide the color scale option under the display.

VARIOUS ORIENTATION(ISOMETRIC, FRONT, SIDE AND, TOP VIEW):-

• Isometric View

• Front View

• Side View

• Top view:-

• Multi-View

The Switch Bezel component is created using Class-A surface and draft analysis has been performed.
