Week 9 - Project - Master Section Development
Aim :
The aim of this project is to model the B pillarcomponent along with the required attachmentfeatures using the given Class A surface and the master section of the component.
A class A surface is any of a set of freeform surfaces of high efficiency and quality. Although, strictly, it is nothing more than saying the surfaces have curvature and tangency alignment – to ideal aesthetical reflection quality, many people interpret class A surfaces to have G2 (or even G3) curvature continuity to one another.

Draft Analysis :
The Draft Analysis command enables you to detect if the part you drafted will be easily removed. This type of analysis is performed based on color ranges identifying zones on the analyzed element where the deviation from the draft direction at any point, corresponds to specified values.
- Click Draft Analysis (Mold Tools toolbar) or View > Display > Draft Analysis. Set analysis parameters and color settings, and then click .
- Click View > Modify > Draft Analysis.

4 Way Locator and the Dog House :
Dog House : It is an engineering feature used in plastic trim design. Dog houses are used as supporting feature. ... Dog houses are subjected to draft analysis to prevent breakage of the component during ejection from mould cavity. Dog house and other engineering components are built on B-surface.

Results :
- Draft Analysis was erformed and was under permissible value for manufacturing
- Class A,B and C were created as per the automotive standards using Catia V5 software.
