Week 9 - Project - Master Section Development

AIM: To create a B pillar from the given master section and class A surface.

OBJECTIVE:

1. To check for surface discontinuities and perform draft analysis on class A surface.
2. To create a side flange from the master section.
3. To create a class B surface and C surface.
4. To create engineering features according to the master section.

B PILLAR

B pillar of a car is as shown in figure 1. Its properties determine the safety of the vehicles passenger in the event of a roll over. In this project a B pillar is created from the given master section and class A surface.

All the areas are cleared by the tooling direction and parting line is at the B surface as intended hence the design is satisfactory
