Week 9 - Attachment Feature Creation - Challenge 2
Dog house is an engineering feature used in plastic trim design. Dog houses are used as supporting feature. Sometimes other engineering features like snaps; locators etc. are mounded on them to increase their strength.
Here,
The dog house is created by the following design rules.
- Draft of minimum 1.5 degree too the dog house.
- Minimum height of 6mm is maintained.As less than 6mm causes weak steel condition.
- Dog hoise wall thickness at intersection of part wall (c) should be 40% or less than main wall stock(t). 2.5 x 0.4 = 1mm. So,c =1 mm is maintained.
- T a height of 3-6 mm is maintained and created the dog house with these consideration.
Construction:-
The A surface is imported.
The B surface is created by offsetting the A class surface for 2.5mm.
Patches created are solved by using the commands of fill,blend and sweep.
The c surface is created by sweep command with reference of A surface.
Joining of A,B,C forms the final component for the thickness of 2.5 mm.
And dog houses are created by above mentioned design rules consideration.
