Week 9 - Attachment Feature Creation - Challenge 2

Create the Dog House for the Door Trim considering the design rules mentioned in the video. Consider the thickness of the part to be 2.5 mm.

"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 

Doghouse wall thickness at the intersection of the part wall (C ) should be 40% or less than the main wall stock (T).

Height of (B) should be between 3-6 mm

Dog house design-

Extract the base of Class A Surface and offset it with part thickness as 2.5 mm.

Draw sketch of rectangle and should be open from one side for dog house.

Using sweep with tooling direction and draft it at an angle of 1.5 degree for outer surface.

Close the upper surface face by offsetting the below extracted surface and then after trimmed it.

Convert the dog house surface in thickened surface by applying part thicknes as 2 mm.

Now for the inside faces of dog house we need side core tooling axis created it in Z direction.

Give draft to the inside surface of 0.5 degree.

Now to create the C and B section as shown in design rules, offset the base surface in between 3 to 6 mm.

Extrapolate the surface to achieve desired length.

Switch to part workbench and split the C and B Section with thicken part.

Again, provide draft to the inside surface as shown.

Give radius/fillet to inside as 0.4*T=0.4*2.5=1mm and for outer edges give fillet as inside radius + part thickness.

And minimum fillet of 0.5 mm.

Assemble with coin holder main body.

Draft analysis of Dog House

Screw boss design

Screw boss can be on B surface or it can be on dog house in this we are mounting it on dog house.

Draw circular sketch inside circle of dia 5mm and for outer circle wall should be 0.6*T on one side so outside dia = 2*(0.6*2.5)+5(inside dia)=8mm.
