Week 9 - Attachment Feature Creation (Ribs & Screw Boss) - Challenge 1

Attachment Feature Creation (Ribs & Screw Boss) - Challenge 1

Aim:To create B side feature Ribs and Screw Boss for given Drill Handle Class A Surface by considering Design Rules.

DESIGN RULE FOR RIB

DESIGN RULE FOR SCREW BOSS

General Guidelines for Bosses:

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

CLASS A SURFACE

Checking Gaps In given A Surface

TOOLING AXIS CREATION

For creating tooling axis we have to choose correct direction where the given surface can be ejected and also considering the draft angle.

SKETCHES

EXTRUDE

RIB Thickness as 1mm

By Considering Design Rule

i.e. 0.4 * t

wher t = Part Thickness=2.5

0.4*2.5=1mm

i given thickness on both sides 0.5mm.

DRAFT

Draft is given as 0.5deg

By using Boolean Operation i.e tri the ribs are added to main part body

FINAL RIB

SCREW BOSS

SKETCHES

For creating screw boss design rules are followed

here wall hole dia is taken as 3mm and wall thickness taken as dia 3mm

because the nominal wall thickness is given as 2.5mm

i.e w=0.6*t

=0.6*2.5

w=1.5 since it is circle i have 1.5mm thickness to the extruded circular surface.

Here i have given 3mm thickness to the extruded surface at outer side.

Extrude

here also Height to Diameter ration is taken in to consideration

i.e H/B<3

HB=3��=3

Where B is dia of Hole

H is height of screw boss

H=B⋅3�=�⋅3

H=3*3

H=9mm

CONCLUSION

B side features are created for given Class A Surface

Note:

I have traid all 3 methods to create tooling axis at 2.9deg but the given Class_A_Surface as some issues so im unable achieve the draft angle exactly at 2.9deg so i have taken minimum draft angle of RIB & SCREW BOSSES at 0.49deg, and completed the draft angle.
