Week 9 - Challenge 1 - Base Bracket Design
DRAFT ANALYSIS: The draft analysis technique is used to analyze whether our part model created in CAD is manufacturable based on the draft condition applied. Here the part should get easily removed from the panel dies (in case of Sheet metal part) or Mold (in case of plastic).
1.enter part in Catia. 2.Go to Material Mode. 3.go for feauture draft analysis. 3.drag axis bar to the tooling direction of part..
Draft Analysis options are available inside the following workbenches:
- Part Design
- Generative Shape Design
- Wireframe and Surface for Building
- FreeStyle Shaper
NOTEThe minimum/maximum angle required for the draft angle is 3 degree.
TOOLING AXIS:Draft analysis is done after determining the tooling axis, draft analysis is used to check whether the minimum draft (3 degrees) is maintained or not. Compass is used to define the draft direction. If the minimum draft 3 degree is provided the whole component changes in to green colour. the bisceting line is used for for to creating the tooling axisn centr line for draft type. to it requires the perfect draft type it was used the bisecting lines.
