Week 9 - Challenge 2 - Switch Bezel Design

DETAILED REPORT : SWITCH BEZEL DESIGN

Objective

- To design a switch bezel using Class A surface as an input , and finilize the part by trimming and performing draft analysis

Steps Taken

1- Input and Tooling axis Creation

input class A surface provided by SKILL LYNC

created a tooling axis by defining a point on the base surface , developed tooling axes for X- Direction and Y-Direction using the sketch tool and intersection method

created a bisecting line using the two directional axes to finalize the tooling axis for draft analysis

2- Creation of Class B Surface

extracted the bezel surface and untrimmed it

offset the extracted surface to create the base class b surface , also for the wall followed the same procedure for each side

ofset the base surface similarly

3- Fillets

added edge fillets at

15 degree angle at the edge of side walls

11.5 degree angle at top of side walls

4- Creation of Class C Surface

extracted boundaries of the class A surface using multiple extract tool . Used sweep tool with the tooling axis as a reference to create class C surface

Resolved patches using thesmooth curve tool replacing the multiple extract to create the seamless curves

trimmed class c surface with class b surface

5- Final Join

created the boundary of the class a surface attempted to trim the joinwith class b

6- Issue Enciuntered

problem : the extrapolated wire body is invalid due to self - intersection
