Project - A pillar Design with Master Section

Objective:

The main objective of this challenge is to understand the given master section to create a solid body and B-side features for a given class A surface, by considering all the design parameters.

Overview:

Here in this challenge, I created the solid part body from the class A surface and B-side features (Dog house) for the class A surface. The master section measurements are considered to make the solid part body and Dog house. Created a tooling axis by using the bisecting line method and created a side core axis for clearing the B-side feature of the dog house. The draft angle is provided to the dog house outer faces concerning the Tooling axis, and the draft angle to inside faces are provided concerning the side core axis. The draft angle for a solid part body is 3deg, the draft angle for the dog house's outer surface is 1.5deg, and the draft angle for the internal surface of the dog house is 0.5deg.

Tooling Axis creation:

To create the tooling axis, I used the 'bisecting' line method. Initially, I extracted two lines from the master section and then I created a bisecting line at the centre of those two lines by using bisecting line option in the line command.

Draft analysis for class A surface:

The draft analysis check is performed on the class A surface before we create the solid part from that class A surface, to check whether the given class A surface is drafted properly or not.

Class B surface creation:

To create the class B surface initially, I measured the thickness of the master section (2.5mm). I offset the class A surface 2.5mm to the inside direction. The styling fillets on the class A surface are not offset properly, it created the patch on the offset surface. I used the multisection surface command to close the patch on the offset surface.

Final Product:
