Week 8 - Challenge 3 - Switch Bezel Design

1. Check the continuty of the class A surface and make sure not to have gaps.For this we use join/boundary options.

2. Create a dummy tooling axis.

3. Next take the YZ plane and interect the lines on both sides which are parellel to the tooling axis.Then make a bisection and named it as TOOLING CLEARING Y DIRECTION.

4. Now bisect the tooling clearing of Y and line in it then named it as TOOLING AXIS.

5. Then create a B surface

6. Extract the surfaces from the WALLS,untrim them,make sure to give extrapolate

7. Do the same with the other walls

8. Then use the trim option and trim the unwanted surfaces,now we have to offset it,then extract the outer surface of class A then untrim it and extrapolate it. Finally trim the outer surface so, that we get a required outer surface and named as surface B.

9. Now create the surface C.it is the combination of both surface A & B.

10. Highlet the outer boundary of surface A then with the help of sweep command we can get the class C surface

11. Finally make this entair product into single product.

12. Next we have to publish the TOOLING AXIS and surface A,B,C so, that we can find it easily.

13. Now do the draft analysis for class A & c .For that we go to the INSERT>ANALYSIS>FEATURE DRAFT ANALYSIS.

14. In it we have to add material mode.once the Draft analysis mode is on then click on the direction option and compass in it.

15. Now compass will display then hold on the red spot on it and drag it to the surface of the class A and make sure that the tooling axis and compass axis should Align each other. Then click on position lock > ok.

16. Finally the Red spot will appers on the class A surface click on it then green colour will appers and measure the angles with the Analysis under running AXIS and do the same with the class c surface.

NOTE: 1. The lines which are 45 deg angle can be ignore during the analysing of tooling axis

2. GREEN and RED are forbidden colours in analysis.
