Week 9 - 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.

MASTER SECTION

Master sections guide design requirements that decide the component packaging after technical (Styling, Concept, or Class-A) surfaces.

OVERVIEW OF THIS PROJECT

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's outer faces concerning the Tooling axis, and the draft angle to the inside faces is 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 created two lines on the master section by using the 'point to point line' and then I created a bisecting line at the center of those two lines by using bisecting line option in the line command.

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 sweep command to close the patch on the offset surface.

OFFSET PATCH SURFACE

I extracted the edges of the patches, to give a sweep command's guide curves to close the patch.

CLASS C SURFACE CREATION

To order to create the class C surface, I used the sweep command. I sweep the class A surface edges along with referencing the surface for the required length inwards. After the creation of the class C surface, the surface edges are needed to be extrapolated to intersect properly from all 4 sides. I trim the surfaces which were extrapolated, to get the closed class C surface. I joined the class A surface and Class C surface to get a single surface of class A+C surfaces. I trim the Class B surface with class A+C surface join, to get the closed surface to create the solid body.

CREATING A DOG HOUSE ACCORDING TO MASTER SECTION

To create a dog house, multi-extract the required line from the master section and sweep it according to the master section. Insert a new body and thicken the sweep profile for 1mm.

NOW CREATE A INSIDE SLAB ACCORDING TO MASTER SECTION

NOW CREATE A INSIDE COLUMN ACCORDING TO MASTER SECTION

AFTER CREATING ALL THE FEATURES, ADD THEM ALL TOGETHER WITH THE MAIN BODY
