Week 9 - Challenge 3 - Bumper
STEP 1:CREATION OF TOOLING AXIS
I CREATED THE TOOLING AXIS BY TAKING REFERENCE FROM ONE OF THE FLAT SURFACES IN THE BUMPER.
STEP 2:SURFACE B CREATION
BY OFFSETTING THE CLASS A SURFACE(split PORTION) TO 3mm. I FOUND GAPS IN THAT OFFSET SURFACE. A TOTAL OF 3 PATCHES ARE FOUND.
CENTRE PATCH: BY USING THE JOIN COMMAND I REMOVED THE REMAINING FILLETS FROM THAT SURFACE. THEN I GOT TWO SEPARATE SURFACES. FIRST I EXTRACTED ONE SURFACE AND CREATED A BOUNDARY OF IT AND THEN EXTRAPOLATED IT. SIMILARLY, EXTRACREB THE SECOND SURFACE IS THE SAME. THEN I TRIMMED BOTH THE SURFACES AND APPLIED RADIUS OF (3mm+0.5mm) TO IT. NOW FIRST PATCH IS READY.
BOTTOM SQUARE PATCH: SIMILIAR TO FIRST PATCH STEPS TO CREATE SECOND PATCH AND APPLIED RADIUS OF 3.5mm TO IT. NOW PATCH 2 IS CREATED.
TOP PATCH: SAME STEPS IS FOLLOWED TO CREATE PATCH 3.
THEN I EXTRPOLATED THE ENTIRE BOUNDARY OF THE SURFACE B. NOW SURFACE B IS CREATED.......
SURFACE C: REFERENCE FROM SURFACE A I HAVE SEPARATED THE BOUNDARY INTO 3. THEN APPLY SWEEP TO IT (90DEGREE) WITH REFERENCE SURFACE. FINALLY, SURFACE C IS CREATED.
JOIN OF SURFACES A AND C: JOIN SURFACE C(SWEEPS) WITH SURFACE A TO MAKE IT A JOINED SURFACE.
INTERSECTION: NOW WE HAVE TO CHECK THE SURFACES WITH INTERSECTION COMMAND FROM SURFACE B AND JOIN OF A&C SURFACES. I GOT TWO PATCHES AS UNJOINED BOUNDARIES THE WE HAVE TO EXTRAPOLATE THAT SURFACES TO MAKE CONTINUOUS BOUNDARIES...FINALLY, WE HAVE CHECKED WITH ANOTHER INTERSECTION OF BOTH SURFACES. FINALLY, I GOT THE REQUIRED BOUNDARY. WE HAVE TO MATCH THE INTERSECTION WITH BOTH THE SURFACES.
ONE OF THE EDGES OF JOIN(A&C) I GOT IT AS AN UNJOINED BOUNDARY ..HERE I CREATED A BOUNDARY TO JOIN THAT SURFACE.
SOLID COMPONENT: TRIMMED THE SURFACE B AND SURFACE(JOIN OF A&C) TO MAKE IT A JOINED COMPONENT. NOW BY USING THE CLOSED COMMAND I MADE A SOLID AND MIRRORED IT TO GET THE COMPLETE BUMPER COMPONENT......
ATLAST DRAFT ANALYSIS FOR THE CLASS A AND FINAL COMPONENT IS DONE ...........
ALL THE IMAGES WITH CATPART ARE ATTACHED BELOW.
