Week 8 - Challenge 4 - Coin Holder Design
AIM
Create the coin holder 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.
SOFTWARE USED
CATIA V5
DRAFT ANLAYSIS
Draft analysis in catia is a command that is used to detect if the part you drafted will be easily removed from the mold. it is performed based on color ranges identifying zones on the analyzed element.
Most of the industries is using minimum draft angle is 3 degree
PROCEDURE
- Check all the boundary whether it has connected or not.
- Check the model visually & choose the best tooling direction which should be easy for draft.
- After analyzing the above model the best tooling axis is y direction.
CREATING THE TOOLING AXIS
- Create a point 1 and insert a axis system on the point 1 as shown below
- Create a intersection on XY plane for the given surface
.
- Since a surface is 90 degree to the axis system, so create a point -direction line as adirection of y axis and named as TOOLING AXIS as shown below
PERFORMING DRAFT ANALYSIS ON MODEL
- To perform draft analysis open customize view parameters and choose the material
- Insert a feature draft analysis by following these commands
I insert>analysis>feature draft analysis
- Align the compass on tooling axis that we created
- Open the color scale and enter the value is 3 deg.
- If the whole body is green that all the faces is greater angle than the provided angle
