Week 8 - Challenge 5 - Door Trim Lower

Create the Door Trim 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 draft angle requirements and performing the draft analysis on the model at the end.

Take the Thickness of the component to be 2.5 mm

Screenshots of the Draft analysis report for both the given Class-A surface and the final plastic component

DECIDE THE TOOLING AXIS BEFORE PERFORMING A DRAFT ANALYSIS

EXTRACT ONE LARGE SURFACE FROM THE CLASS. MAKE A POINT OVER MID OF THAT EXTRACTED SURFACE. THEN CREATE A LINE WITH REFERENCE TO THE POINT IN Y-DIRECTION

THEN PERFORM A DRAFT ANALYSIS. IF THE ANALYSIS GET SUCCESSFUL MEANS YOUR MODEL IS COMPLETELY TURN INTO GREEN COLOUR LIKE BELOW

AFTER COMPLETION OF THE DRAFT ANALYSIS. YOU NEED TO OFFSET THE CLASS-A SURFACE FOR 2.5mm.

HERE YOU CAN FIND SOME PATCHES DUE TO IMPROPER OFFSET OF SOME FILLETED AREAS. I HAVE TWO PATCHES IN MY MODEL

PATCH 1

PATCH 2

HERE YOU NEED TO SOLVE THOSE PATCHES ONE BY ONE. INITIALLY, YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE UNWANTED FILLET ASSOCIATED WITH THE PATCH AND CREATE A BOUNDARY OVER THE TWO DIFFERENT SURFACES. EXTRAPOLATE BOTH SURFACE BOUNDARY EDGES. MAKE SURE BOTH THE SURFACES INTERSECT WITH EACH OTHER. NOW TRIM THE UNWANTED PORTION TO GET THE REQUIRED AREA. FINALLY, GIVE A REQUIRED FILLED VALUE MEASURED FROM THE CLASS-A SURFACE TO GET A MODEL LIKE BELOW

SIMILARLY, WE DO IT FOR PATCH 2 TO GET A MODEL LIKE THE ONE BELOW. AND THIS WILL BE YOUR CLASS B SURFACE

AFTER GETTING THE B-SURFACE YOU NEED TO WORK ON IT WITH YOUR C-SURFACE. CREATING A C-SURFACE MEANS BY SWEEPING CLASS-A SURFACE WITH RESPECT TO THE NATURE OF THE SURFACE. NOW YOU GET A SURFACE LIKE BELOW

NOW UNHIDE BOTH EXTRAPOLATED B-SURFACE AND SWEPT SURFACE AND TRIM THEM TOGETHER TO GET A MODEL LOKE BELOW

AND NOW WE GET A CLOSED SURFACE LIKE BELOW

AFTER GETTING THE CLOSED PROFILE LIKE ABOVE ENTER INTO THE PART WORKBENCH AND MAKE THE PROFILE INTO A COMPLETELY SOLID OBJECT USING CLOSED SURFACE COMMENT. NOW YOUR MODEL LOOKS LIKE BELOW
