Week 9 - Challenge 2 - Switch Bezel Design

CLASS A SURFACE AND BISECTING LINES:

FIRSTLY I CREATED A AXIS SYSTEM BY EXTRACTING BASE OF THE CLASS A SURFACE. THEN I INSERTED AXIS SYSTEM ON IT. THEN I EXTRACTED ALONG THE YZ ASIS AND DRAWN TWO LINES. THEN I CREATED A BISECTING LINE AT THE MIDDLE OF THE TWO LINES.

ALSO I CREATED THE BISECTING LINE AT XY AXIS. THEN I CREATED A BISECTING LINE AT THE MIDDLE OF THE ALREADY CREATED BISECTING LINES. THIS BISECTING LINE I CHANGE TO TOOLING AXIS.

THEN I CREATED B SURFACE EXTRACTING AND UNTRIM AND EXTRAPOLATED AND THEN FINALLY USED TRIM COMMANDS FOR B SURFACE. THEN I OFFSET IT FOR 2.5MM AND FILLITED IT USING SOME CALCULATIONS. THE FINAL FILLED IS TAKEN AS B SURFACE.

THEN EXTRACTED THE BOUNDRY OF THE CLASS A SURFACE ON TWO DIRECTIONS AND CREATED SWEEP ON IT. FOR SMOOTH SURFACE I USED SMOOTH CURVE COMMAND. THEN I JOINED THE CLASS A SURFACE AN SWEEP TOGETHER AFTER TRIMMING BOTH SURFACES.

THEN I GET TRIMMED THE B SURFACE FROM THE PREVIOUSLY TRIMMED SURFACE. THEN I CLOSED THE SURFACE IN PART BODY USING CLOSE COMMAND. THIS IS CONSIDERED AS A SWITCH BEZEL PART BODY.

DRAFT ANALYSIS:

IN PART BODY I DONE DRAFT ANALYSIS USING DRAFT ANALYSIS TOOL BAR. IN THIS I FIRST USED THE COMPASS AND PLACED IT IN THE AXIS. THEN I MOVES ANALYSIS CURSOR TO KNOW THE DRAFTING DEVIATIONS ALONG THE PART BODY. THEN I CHANGE SOME ANGLE OF THE WALLS TO GET 3 DEG (APPROX) DRAFT ANGLE.
