Week 9 - Project 1 - Door Applique Design with Engineering Features

AIM:

To create plastic design and attach the engineering features and generate the draft analysis for the given door applique Class A model.

Door applique

Door attachment surface

Procedure:

1. Check for any opening in the given model Door applique by usinh boundary command.

2. Tooling axis creation

3. Draft analysis on Class-A surface

4. Creating B-surface for Door applique

Extract the class-A surface bt selecting the surafce to extract and untrim the surfaces by selecting the surfaces which are required and offset the untrimed surface by selecting the surfaces to offset to a distance of 2.5mm and then trim the surfaces
Fillet a surface and extrapolate the surface

5. Creating B-surface for Door applique

Extract the boundary of class-A by extract option and using sweep option create C surface
Smooth curve the extracted boundary and then in sweep option Type: with draft direction , Guide curve: Boundary, and draft direction: Tooling axis, angle as 3 degrees
After creating C surface, join class A and class C then trim it with class-B surface

6. Fill the surface body with solid using closed surface

7. Adding locators(2way and 4way) to the door applique

Create a point at the center of the surface of door attachment ny point definition
Create the plane on the surface at the center by plane definition with reference to the point which was created and then sketch for on the same plane.
Pad the sketch in part design
Thickness should be 40% of wall thckness
Draft the faces of the padded area by faces to draft
Chamfer the edges of the top
Fillet edges and faces
Copy the part body of 4 way locator and past it with special reference link and and translate it to the other side by coordinate
Same way create the 2 way locator at below the center by creating a sketching
By boolean operation untrim the door applique solid body

8. Adding heat stakes to door applique

Offset the class -A surafce by 2.5 mm and extract the offsetted class-A surface
Parallel curve the extracted boundary
Give point representation to the parallel curves by point and plane representation
Create a sketch on point created and pad it
Translate the heat stake by keeping point as reference
By boolean, assemble add heat stake to door applique

9. Thicken the door attachment by 2mm

10. Draft analysis of solid door attachment
