Given CLASS A SURFACE

The Way of Creating the Tooling Axis

Need to take center of the surface for a Tooling axis. So, here i took the bottom face which is meet at all surface in a single point which is easy to create a tooling axis and i extracted that face by using extract command(extract definition = surface) as shown in figure 1.

By the uses of that face i created center point with the help of point command(Point definition = on surface = distance + reference) as shown in figure 2.

Then i created a line on the point with the help of line command(line definition = normal to surface = surface + point) as shown in firgure 3.

Thus the way i created Tooling Axis for draft analysis as shown in figure 4 which is showing in yellow color center line.

Draft Analysis

Draft Analysis is used to analyze whether our part model created in CAD is manufacturable based on the draft condition applied.

Color scale variant with draft angle for CLASS A SURFACE/Final Component

Color scale variant with draft angle for Locators

Color scale variant with draft angle for Heat stakes

CLASS A SURFACE

Locators with the proper color code of the draft analysis in various orientations

Heat stakes with the proper color code of the draft analysis in various orientations

Final solid model design with the proper color code of the draft analysis

This draft analysis is the normal tooling axis towards to cavity of the base component.

Final solid model design with the proper color code of the draft analysis towards Locators and Heat stakes

This draft analysis is opposite of the normal tooling axis and it's towards the core tooling axis of the base component. In this draft analysis we can see the result of the whole component with locators and heat stakes.
