Week 9 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design

                                                                      BASE BRACKET DESIGN

Aim:

       To create Base Bracket Design in the function of the Class B and Class C surface and also perform Draft Analysis through the class A surface.

Objectives:

       Creates proper tooling Axis.

       Do proper Draft Analysis.

       Creates Class B surface correctly.

       Creates Class C surface correctly.

       Atlast make design as the closed surface.

Tools Used:Catia V5

 

Intoduction:

       In this challenge we creates the Base Bracket Design using a given class A surface and to perform the class B surface with thickness of 2.5mm from the class A surface and also perform the class C surface.

Class A surface:

    The class A surface was given and in the class A surface tooling axis is created.

Creation of Tooling Axis:

    The Tooling axis is created by using intersection option then creating the bisecting line then the toolins axis is created. 

The dotted line is the Tooling Axis

Draft Analyse in Class A Surface :

  The Draft Analysis is done for 3 degree draft so it shows all surfaces at more than 3 degree.

Creation of Class B Surface:

        The B-Surafce is the surface which gives the thikness from the Class A Surface and  B-Surface is the engineering Surface.

        In the Class B Surface surface is extracted from the Class A surface and the untrimmed the surface and then offsetting from the class A Surface  and the required fillets are done on the B-surface.

Creation of C Surface:

        The surface which connets A annd B Surface along the tooling axis called Class C surface.And in this surface outer line boundary is created in class A surface and then swept option is done with draft direction with 3 degree.

Class A and Class C surface:

Class A + Class B + Class C Surface:

Closed Surface:
