Week 9 - Attachment Feature Creation - Challenge 2
ATTACHMENT FEATURE CHALLENGE 2
AIM
Create the Dog House for the Door Trim considering the design rules and perform the draft analysis for class A and create the final close body
component and perform the draft analysis.
OBJECTIVE
Create the Tooling axis
Design the class-B and class-C surfaces and join them.
Use the Close Surface feature to make a solid body from the surface.
Design the required dog house and analysis them.
Perform the Draft analysis for the final component.
CLASS A SURFACE
TOOLING AXIS
Class-A surface is first analyzed to create the tooling axis. where the molds pull apart in injection molding. Tooling direction is essential for
plastic product design as it decides the direction for mold separation.
To create the tooling axis first we have to check the best suitable direction for tooling by using the compass. the y direction is suitable for creating
the tooling axis because in the y direction most of the surfaces are clearing while performing draft analysis. Generally tooling axis is created using
bisecting line method but here A line normal to the surface is created in the y direction and considered the tooling axis.
DRAFT ANALYSIS
After creating a tooling axis we do the draft analysis. Before drafting we have to make sure that in the view mode it is selected for the materials.
After selecting the feature draft analysis tool we drag the compass from its position to the tool axis. Then lock the compass. After that select
anywhere on the component and it will give you the result.
We change the minimum draft for the component to 3°.
CLASS B SURFACE
In this component Creation of the class B surface first, we have to offset the entire model by 2.5mm outward some of the surfaces give offset
error and ask for offset without these subelements click okay and work on the incomplete surfaces by using the multi-section surface command,
sweep and different commands used to complete the class B surface.
CLASS C SURFACE
We first extract the edges from the Class A surface with the help of the multi extract or boundary command which we create the path for a sweep
for class C.Then trim the class-B surface to join (A+C) this will make sure that we get a closed surface. We can check it using the boundary tool, if
it gives an error that means that the component is closed.
Then We go to the part design workbench and use to closed surface tool to create a solid body.
hence, we created our final Solid component.
FINAL COMPONENT
DOG HOUSE DESIGN:
Dog house: Dog house is an engineering feature used in the plastic trim design. Dog houses are used as supporting features. Sometimes other
engineering features like snaps; locators, etc. are mounded on them to increase their strength. Dog house and other engineering Features are
built on B-surface.
Design rules for Dog house creation
"C" is where the doghouse contacts the backside of the surface
Doghouse wall thickness at the intersection of the part wall ( C ) should be 40% or less than the main wall stock ( T ).
The height of ( B ) should be between 3.0 – 6.0 mm
Dog house design procedure by considering the design rules
Extract the surface on which we want to create the dog house and create a sketch on a plane.
