Challenge

Week 9 - Attachment Feature Creation - Challenge 2

Aim : To create the boss and Dog House for the Centre console coin holder considering the design rules.

Given :

  • Draft - 0.5 degrees on walls of boss
  • Thickness - Typically 40%* of the nominal wall at the base.
  • Height to Diameter Ratio - 3:1
  • Radii - 0.25mm maximum radii

Draft Analysis : It helps to gather the draft angle on multiple surfaces without the need for manual measurements.

Draft Angle : It is the angle that the draft faces make with the pulling direction.

Pulling Direction : It allows you to define the coordinates and the type of the axis system.

Procedure :

Step1 : Import the Given Class A surface in the Catia Software.

Step 2 : Test The Boundaries of the surface.

Step 3 : To create a tooling axis, first make sure you have created a dummy axis.

Step 4 : Use intersect option in the toolbar, select the zx plane as the first reference and the class a surface as the second element.

Step 5 : Make a dummy axis

Step 6 : Now create lines seperating walls of the class a surface.

Step 7 : Using these two lines, create a tooling axis in x-direction.

Step 8 : Perform intersect option and create outer lining of the model, selecting yz plane

Step 9 : Again create two lines from the points on the side of the sketch using point to point command.

Step 10 : Create the Tooling Axis in the Z-Direction.

Step 11 : To perform draft analysis, select Feature draft analysis from insert menu.

Step 12 : The Draft should be 0.5mm

Step 13 : The radius should be 0.25mm
