Week 9 - Attachment Feature Creation - Challenge 2

REPORT:

General guidelines that need to be followed while designing the bosses:

  • 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.
  • Extract the surface on which the Screw bosses are to be created
  • Sketch the circular profiles and pad till 12mm length considering the 3:1 ratio
  • Provide 0.5° draft on the surface with the tooling axis as pulling direction
  • Then sketch the profile for ribs and pad till 10mm with 1mm thick feature
  • Then provide draft for the rib faces
  • Provide fillet with 0.25mm radius on all edges

General guidelines that need to be followed while designing the Dog House:

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

  • "C" is where the doghouse contacts the backside of the surface
  • Height of ( B ) should be between 3.0 – 6.0 mm

  • Sketch the dog house profile and extrude
  • Add thickness of 2mm
  • Provide 0.5° draft on the faces with side the tooling axis as pulling direction
  • To form the "C" profile offset the base at 4mm and extrude the dog house then offset it by 1mm use trim to get the profile (The length for C will be 1mm)
  • Then split it with the thickned solid
  • Provide draft on the inner faces
  • Give 1mm fillet on inner surface of house and 3mm on outer
  • Translate the boss on top of dog house

Draft Analysis Report:

  • For the draft analysis go to Insert-Analysis-Feature Draft Analysis and make sure the view mode is on material
  • Inline the compass with the Tooling Axis and lock then click on the solid part we will get the draft analysis the minimum draft required is of 3 degrees
  • When we click on the part it will turn green that means the required draft angle is maintained
  • We can change the value of draft angle from the colour scale table and the model will change the colour accordingly
  • We can also analyse the draft at a particular point on the body by moving the mouse cursor on the surface
