ATTACTHMENT FEATURE CREATION -MAYANK TIWARI

DOG HOUSE

OBJECTIVE - Create the Dog House for the Door Trim considering the design rules .

DOG HOUSE

Dog house is an engineering feature used in plastic design. Dog houses are used as support feature. Sometimes other engineering features like snaps, locators, screw bosses are mounted on them to increase their strength.

Dog houses are subjected to draft analysis to prevent breakage of the component during ejection from the mould cavity. Dog house and oher engineering components are built on the B-surface.

OBJECTIVE

Create Tooling axis for the given CLASS -A surface.
Create the CLASS B and C surfaces of door trim using the given CLASS-A surface.
Create final surface model and convert it into solid body using close surface command in the part design workbench.
Create side core axis for the dog house
Create Dog house on the B surface by considering the design rules.
Perform draft analysis for both Class-A surface and Final part body.

1. CHECKING CONTINUITY OF CLASS -A.

2. TOOLING AXIS CREATION.

Procedure for Tooling axis creation

Check the best possible tooling direction by manually adjusting the compass.
By analysing it is found that y axis as tooling direction would clear most of the faces without any difficulties.
Now extract any surface and create a mid-point on it.
Then create a dummy axis creating a line on the point and direction along the y axis.
Perform draft analysis to find whether the given axis clearing the draft analysis. If not create a new tooling axis.
