Week 8 - Challenge 5 - Door Trim Lower

PP.S.Balaji Neelakandan28 Jan 2023

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 requirements of the draft angle and at the end perform the Draft analysis on the model.

GIVEN CLASS-A SURFACE

TOOLING AXIS

In this object the product can be produced by -Y-axis and meets the plastic design concept
For creating tool axis, we are using bisecting method. It is created by bisecting X-axis line and Z-axis line
For creating X-axis line, we use intersecting command to intersect class-a surface in X direction
Create the line from intersecting line of surface that is parallel or angular to Y direction
Bisecting line is made by line created in intersecting line. Now we get X-axis line
For creating Z-axis line, we use intersecting command to intersect class-A surface in Z direction
Create the line from intersecting line of surface that is parallel or angular to Y direction
Bisecting line is made by line created in intersecting line. Now we get Z-axis line
Now we got X-axis and Z-axis. Then we create bisecting line with Z-axis and X-axis.
The line created is our tooling axis.

DRAFT ANALYSIS

For this process we use feature draft analysis command.
Make sure martial mode is in customise material mode and select material in mesh option from view option.
In draft analysis select the element as our design and select compass from direction dialog box.
Align the compass on tooling axis and click lock option to avoid change in compose direction.
Now click display option and give value and colour to measure the draft angle.
In this process we found draft angle of the object. As draft angle is 3o for plastic the surface got cleared in this process.
