Week 9 - Attachment Feature Creation - Challenge 2

AIM:

  • To Create the door Trim Component from the given Class-A surface.
  • To Create the Tooling axis for the given Class-A Surface meeting the requirements of the draft angle.
  • To perform the Draft analysis on the model.
  • To Create the B Side Feature in the component by following the design rules.

DESCRIPTION:

1. CREATING TOOLING AXIS -

The Tooling Direction is the direction that the mold pulls apart. The mold is built in two separate pieces. You have a Cavity side and you have the Core side. The Core pulls apart from the Cavity and that's the Dye line or the Tooling Direction.

3. DRAFT ANALYSIS

The Draft Analysis command enables you to detect if the part you drafted will be easily removed. This type of analysis is performed based on color ranges identifying zones on the analyzed element where the deviation from the draft direction at any point, corresponds to specified values.

  • Before going to drat analysis go to customized view parameter >under mesh >check material and then click ok.
  • Now for draft analyses go to insert » analysis » feature draft analysis.
  • Use the compass to define the draft direction.
  • In the color scale change the draft angle to 3degreese.
  • The component changes to green in an indication of the passing draft angle.
  • Use a running point to check the angle of the component.
  • The draft analysis is complete.

4. CREATING CLASS B SURFACE

  • Extract the surfaces from class A using multiple extracts and An trim them.
  • Use Extrapolate to make sure that all the untrims are properly intersected to trim and offset the surfaces to 2.5 mm to create the thickness.
  • Trim the extra surfaces using the trim command.
  • Insert them into the new geometrical set and namethemt with respective part names.
  • Apply fillets to the model after creating the entire surface.
  • If the edges are outside the fillet value will be added to the thickness of the component and if the edges are inside, the fillet value will be subtracted from the thickness of the component, for instance,e the thickness of the component Is 2.5mm the fillet value is 15mm so the outside portion value should be 17.5mm and inneredgess should be filleted 12.5mm to get uniform thickness.
  • Perform trims one at a time so that it will be clear to understand.

5. CREATING CLASS C SURFACE

  • Extract the boundary from the class A surface using the boundary command.
  • Usingdisassemblye tool to divide the boundary as the boundary contains domains.
  • Use sweep command > choose profile type line > subtype as with draft direction > choose guide curve and draft direction > draft angle as 3degrees > preview.
  • After getting swept, trim the output with class B surface to get the final output.
  • Now open the part design workbench and used close the body surface to create a solid component.

6. B SIDE FEATURES CREATION

DOG HOUSE CREATION

  • Design Principle for Dog House Creation

  • DOG HOUSE

DOGHOUSE DRAFT ANALYSIS

7. END DRAFT ANALYSIS

SOILD PART :

CONCLUSION:

  • The Tooling axis and the SolidCAT part with B side features created from the given Class A Surface and Draft Analysis is Performed.
