Week 9 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design

REPORT:

DRAFT ANALYSIS: I EXRACTED A BOUNDRY AT THE MIDDLE OF CLASS A SURFACE. THEN I CREATED TWO CONSTRUCTION LINES AT TWO SIDES. THEN I CREATED A BISECTING LINE WITH HELP OF CONSTRUCTION LINES THEN I NAMED IT AS DUMMY TOOLING AXIS. THEN I CHANGE THE SURFACE TO MATERIAL MODE.

AFTER THAT ENABLING THE DRAFT ANALYSIS TOOL BAR I USED THE COMPASS TO PLACE AT THE DUMMY TOOLING AXIS TO DEFINE THE TOOLING DIRECTION AND I MOVED THE CURSOR TO KNOW THE DRAFT ANGLE IS CORRECT OR NOT. THEN I GOT THE VALUE FOR THE DRAFT ANGLE CORRECT

BASE BRACKET:

CLASS A SURFACE AND BISECTING LINE:

IN CLASS A SURFACE I CREATED A PLANE AND LINE AT THE MID OF THE HOLE. THE LINE CREATED AT Z DIRECTION.IT IS NAMED AS DUMMY TOOLING AXIS. FROM THE CLASS A SURFACE BOUNDRY EXTRACT I CREATED TWO LINES AT THE EXTRACTED BOUNDARY. FROM THAT TWO I CREATED A BISECTING LINE AT THE DIRECTION OF DUMMY TOOLING AXIS. THE BISECTING LINE IS NAMED AS TOOLING AXIS.

CLASS B SURFACE:

FIRSTLY I EXTRACTED THE RIBS AREA AND UNTRIM THEM AND THEN EXTRAPOLATED THE UNTRIMS. THEN I TRIM THE EXTRAPOLATED TO GET THE RIB LIKE SURFACE. THEN I OFFSET THE RIBS AREA TO 2.5MM BELOW THE CLASS A SURFACE. THIS IS MY FIRST OFFSET

THEN I CREATED THE EXTRACT FOR THE MIDDLE SURFACE AND THEN UNTRIM IT. AND I EXTRAPOLATE IT AND TRIM IT AND OFFSET IT FOR 2.5 MM BELOW CLASS A

SIMILARLY I FOLLOWED THE ABOVE STEPS FOR OUTER SURFACE OF CLASS A. THEN I CHANGE THE COLOUR OF THE CLASS B TO IDENTIFY IT.

CLASS C SURFACE:

IN THIS I EXTRACTED THE TOTAL BOUNDRY OF THE CLASS A SURFACE AND THEN I SWEEP IT WITH DRAFT DIRECTION. THE DRAFT DIRECTION I TOOK HERE IS TOOLING AXIS. THE DRAFT IS TAKEN FOR THE ANGLE OF 3DEGREES.

THEN I TRIM THE CLASS A SURFACE AND CLASS B SURFACE AND CLASS C SURFACE AND JOIN TOGETHER. THEN I USED THE CLOSE SURFACE COMMAND IN PART BODY TO GET A FINISHED PRODUCT.

THEN I CREATED DRAFT ANALYSIS REPORT ON THE FINISHED PRODUCT.
