Week 9 - Attachment Feature Creation - Challenge 1

RIbs are manily used in vehicles or any automotive part for heat trasnfer as well as strenthening of the particular part.
One of the ways to strengthen a part is by adding one or more ribs to the design. Ribs are thin protrusions that extend perpendicular from a wall or plane to provide added stiffness and strength.
Designers commonly try to increase the strength of a part by making its walls thicker
We will see how to create the ribs for a given part (coin holder)

The main steps in creating ribs are as simple as creating the solid extrution and giving an draft angle, later adding edge fillets as needed.

First we will create the sketch required, accodring to the ribs design requirements, each rib should be placed at 1/3rd the distance of the thickness, so we get around 6mm of distance including the final thickness of the rib itself.
Then the part is extruded, whcih will be at a hieght of 5 x thickness of the material, which gives us the height of 12.5mm.
Next Thickness of the rib is to be added, whhich asscodring to the design requirements is 0.25 x thickness of the material, which gives us around 1mm of rib thickness.
Then we add the draft angle for each side accordingly, and as per the requirements, we need 0.5 degree of draft angle.
next we have to add the ribs to the main part so as to create a single part.
Once that is done, we add fillets to the ribs, which as per the requriemtns is 0.25.
After that, to check this all we add an intersection along the centre of the ribs to see if all are connected and is as per the design requirements.
FInally, we add a small cirlce in the area connecting the ribs and the part, to confirm if the design requirements have been achieved.
Thus we have created ribs for the given part.
