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

Objective:

Step1: Performing draft analysis on the given class A surface

Create a point at the centre of the surface
By using line command create a line in Y direction which will be the main tooling axis

From the above image it is observed that the selected tooling axis is perfect as the surface is in green colour.

Step 2: Creation of class B surface of door applique

Extract the class A surface, untrim it and then offset the untrimmed surface to a distance of 2.5 mm.
Next combination of two commands trim and extrapolate are used to get the final Class B surface.

Step 3: Creation of C surface

Extract the boundary of class A surface and use the sweep with draft direction command to get the C surface

Step 4: Creation of the model

After creation of C surface, join the class A surface with class C surface. Trim this surface with B surface to get the final model

In part design workbench, fill this surface model to get solid model using close surface command.

Step 5: Adding locators to door applique

Create a point and a plane on the B surface of door applique
Enter the Sketcher work bench and then draw the locators
In the part design work bench, Pad the sketch, use neutral fibre command to align it properly.
Creat entry chamfers and then fillet the edges. Before that add the draft angle to all the surfaces.
Finally perform the boolean opeartion Untrim to get the model

Step 6: Creation of heat stakes

Extract the Class B surface which will be the support surface.
Extract the outer edges of the model using Multiple extract command. Get the parallel curve using Parallel curve command
Use the Points and Planes repetition command to get the points on the parallel curve.
Now create the sketch on the point created on parallel curve.
Pad it, Add draft to it. finally perform boolean operation on the model

Step 7: Draft analysis on final model

Observation: Locators surfaces are observed in red colour indicating draft angle close to zero
Observation: Heat stakes surfaces are in blue color, indicating negative draft angle, corrective action need to taken by providing proper draft angle.

Result

From the given class A surface
