Week 9 - Attachment Feature Creation - Challenge 1

AIM:

Create the rib for the Centre console coin holder considering the design rules mentioned in the video.

OBJECTIVE:

• Ensure Proper Tree Structure
• Geometrical sets should have a proper name based on the sketches present inside of it
• All the sketches should be created under the Geometrical set
• A detailed report should be done explaining the draft analysis and the tooling axis creation.
• An explanation should be given on the way of creating the tooling axis particularly the Bisecting method.

PROCEDURE:

Step-1: Connectivity check

• First we have to verify the part design using join surface option by simply selecting the class A surface .
• Another method is create a boundary layer of surface and disassemble it from the boundary layer from the surface.

Step-2: Create tooling axis (Bisecting method)

• Create a reference point by selecting the center circle of surface.
• Then create the axis for the surface to easily define the tooling axis.
• simply select the point and xyz plane.

• To get a dummy tooling axis in x direction.
• Use the intersection command, to get a wire diagram of surface in x direction.
• Use multiple extract to separate the bottom face for tooling axis definition.

• select the intersection command, select first element is plane of dummy axis say zx plane, select second element as class A surface, click ok.
• The draft angle of x direction is created to get the tooling axis of x-direction.
• We will get the tooling axis in x-direction and also define its line color and thickness
• After the dummy axis definition, select the tooling axis of x to bisect using line command.
• The tooling axis for draft analysis is formed.
• Use publication command to publish the class A surface and tooling axis.

Step-3: Perform draft analysis

• Select the draft analysis command, ensure the material feature is used.
• Use quick analysis mode, display color scale option.
• Click on compass command on direction, drag and drop it in tooling axis.
• The draft should show green surface which is feasible draft angle.
• If red is shown not feassible draft angle and for blue negative draft angle.

• Use analyses under running point, to ensure same angle on symmetrical direction.

• Below is fully analyze mode to get the varied angle in class A surface.

• Below is fully analyze mode to get the varied angle in class C surface.

Step-4: Create rib 1

• First extract the surface where we have to create the rib design.

• Then create a sketch of a line which is ribs baseline and constraints should apply.

• Extrude the line for 5t where t is thickness of the object (2.5mm).
• Also extended the other side for 1 mm or else the object can't be assembled.

• The thickness of rib is 0.4t say 1mm apply it uisng thick surface option.

• Apply draft angle of 0.5 deg.

• And also apply edge fillet as 0.25 mm.

• Create a body and use boolean assemble option.

• use intersect option to create a wireframe of the assembled object

• Create rib root thickness by using circle option as tritangent.
• And extract from the three lines where the circle has to lie.

Step-5: Create rib 2

• Do same procedure to attain the rib 2 design of distance 5mm apart with same dimensions.

ESULT:

• Tree structure

• Isometric View

• Front View

• Side View

• Top View
