CATIA DESIGN

BUMPER DESIGN

Objective:

1. Create the Bumper through the given Class-A surface.

2. Create the Tooling Axis.

3. Perform the Draft Analysis on Class-A Surface and Final component model.

Software Used:

CATIA V5.

BUMPER : CLASS A SURFACE

TOOLING AXIS

Tooling axis: The direction in which the mold or core and cavity opens is the tooling axis.

Steps to Create a Tooling Axis :

1. First, Create a Referene Point on Class A Surface by taking Centre of Gravity.

2. Then, Create a Tooling Axis by selecting a Reference Point and Choosing X-Direction.

Tooling Axis : Tree Structure

DRAFT ANALYSIS

Draft : The purpose of providing angles or tapered face by draft is to remove the part from the mould with ease so that it is parallel to the direction of mould release.

Steps for Draft Analysis :

1. First go to the surface tab bar then click on Insert -> Analysis -> Fetaure Draft Analysis.

2. Then go to Customize View Parameters and check whether the material box under mesh is ticked or not. If not ticked click on the box and tick it for draft analysis.

3. Then, ensure in Draft Analysis Box, Mode is swicted to Quick analysis mode, Color scale Display should be on, select the compass to define the direction.

4. Drag the compass on the tooling axis for Draft Analysis then select the surafce or body to be draft analysed.

Note : Under Draft Analysis Color Display Dialog Box double click on the parameter tab and input the desired angle on which draft analysis to be perform.
