Week 8 - Challenge 4 - Bumper

AIM:

Create the Bumper Plastic component through the given Class-A surface. 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:

  • To crate a tooling axis for the plastic component
  • To create a Bumper of plastic component from given Class A surface.
  • To perform the draft analysis over the plastic component.

IMPORTING THE MODEL

  • Open the downloaded IGES file make it has class A surface by jioning all the surfaces

PROCEDURE:

  • Doing the continuity check to ensure whether given class A surface is continuos or not.By using Boundry/jion method,It seems there is no dis-continuos boundry

  • create point on Class A surface plane & create tooling axis on point & normal to surface (On surface method)

  • Perform draft analysis on the given class A surface,Below pic shows the result of draft analysis,It cleares that it has 3^0 draft throughout the surface with respect to tooling axis as it is in green color

Creating Class B surface:

  • In this component Directly offset class A surface to 3 mm

  • Then repair the patches of class B surface

  • To repair used the operations like multi surface,trim, jion etc with help of tools like line,spline obtain the class B surface

  • Similarly did the above procedure for All the Patches
  • The finle Class B

Creation of Class C:

  • Extract all the boundry of class A surface Separately by observing the complexity ,Then sweep them
  • Trim them together then we will get Class C surface

  • Jion the class A & class C surface(by trimming)

  • Then jion all the Class A,B & C Surfaces

  • Then convert this closed surface to part body in the part workbench,we will get the required Bumper plastic component

  • perform the Draft analysis on the Finle model.

From the above figure we can observe it is satisfying 3^0 nominal draft

but at some corner it's satisfying 1.6^0 (refer below pic) it also manufacturableby taking some considerations

In some area of C surface it is blue too due to it's perpendicular Relation b/w A&B & it is also in negative side

Hence plastic component can be created

  • solid model with the proper color code of the draft angle in various orientations
    • green- 3^0
    • Red- 0^0
    • Blue- negative side & in this case in some area of C surface is also blue beacause it is having 90^0
  • Isometric view

  • Front view/Back view

  • Side view

  • Top view

CONCLUSION:

The Plastic Component is created & Draft analysis is Done
