Week 8 - Challenge 4 - Coin Holder Design

1.DRAFT ANALYSIS FOR CLASS A SURFACE

Step 1: Check for any discontinuities in the surface

Check the Surface continuity of the given input surface(To confirm whether any discontinuity or patches)--> We can confirm it by using join command or boundary command Generative surface design

Below screenshot shows the Join Command

Below screenshot shows the Boundary command.

Step 2: Tooling Axis creation

Change the view mode to customize view parameter and select material option from the mesh

Create the point on the bottom surface

Create the Axis system at the point created

Step 3: Main Tooling Axis creation using Bisecting method

Take an intersection between ZY plane & the input surface

Create a line normal to the bottom surface which is a tooling direction

Step 4: Draft Analysis

Insert --> Analysis--> Feature draft analysis

Draft analysis with color scale(with quick analysis mode) appears on the screen. So the first mode option is the quick analysis mode and second is fully analysis mode. Her the quick analysis mode is used.

Change the value of green according to the draft angle provided to the part. Ideal draft angle is 2.9deg or 3 deg.

Drag the compass and place it over to the tooling axis.

After placing it, click anywhere on the part

DRAFT ANALYSIS FOR FINAL PLASTIC COMPONENT

Insert --> Analysis--> Feature draft analysis

Draft analysis with color scale(with quick analysis mode) appears on the screen. So the first mode option is the quick analysis mode and second is fully analysis mode. Her the quick analysis mode is used.

Drag the compass and place it over to the tooling axis.

After placing it, click anywhere on the part

Refer the below image for it

Color scale variant

Below Screenshot is for solid model with the proper color code of the draft angle in various orientations (Isometric, Front, Side, and Top View)

The complete tree structure for the components is as below (includes Class A,B, C Surfaces & Main Tooling Direction & also Draft analysis for class A surface & final plastic component)
