Benefits of this Project

This project involves the design parameters of the RUECKWANDTUER tailgate inner panel, hinge, gas-stay, wiper-motor, and latch mountings. A case study about the effects of converting an inner panel from Aluminium casting to steel deep drawing part, on the basis of vicarious tests and analysis on the part.

What will you do in this project?

Step 1 - Checking Styling geometry

Step 2 - Preparing the sealing flange

Step 3 - Developing concept inner panel

Step 4 - Modeling all the reinforcements for the tailgate child components

Step 5 - Assembling all the components together

  • This project starts by first analyzing the styling surface given. The styling surface might have few irregularities in the surface that you will be asked to fix before proceeding with the inner panel design
  • Then the design of the inner panel will begin where you will first develop an effective sealing flange by checking all the boundaries and by following the shape of the inner panel design.
  • By creating multiple flanges and by your surface modeling skills you will learn how to complete the concept design of the inner panel and what are the necessary parameters to consider while designing.
  • After the concept of the inner panel is developed, then you will study about the child components like a hinge, latch, gas-stay, etc. locations and how to prepare reinforcements for the same. Which complete the overall design of the tailgate
  • Here you will perform draft analysis and see if the model that you developed is suitable for manufacturing or not, and by doing this you will learn about what changes and improvements required to optimize your model
  • After complete the analysis part. you will complete the outer panel design by modeling the hemming flange and respective hemming reliefs on the model.
  • The final step of this project includes assembling all the components together and preparing a formal report for the tailgate design

Automotive Roof Design
In this project, you will be designing and developing an automotive roof with all its components. By doing draft analysis you will check the manufacturability of the part and with that feedback change the model design accordingly. This projects also require you do perform two sets of calculations depending on the region and weather conditions, and finally study the curvature of the roof and its strength with respect to its components.

Modeling the RUECKWANDTUER Tailgate

In this project, you will be designing all major components of the RUECKWANDTUER Tailgate. The major focus of the overall design will in the engineering behind each feature you make on the components, their positions, and most importantly their manufacturability. This project is one of the engineering design projects where only the knowledge of the CAD tool is not enough. you need to understand the function of each and every component you design. Each and every feature you design should have an engineering reason behind it, similarly, you will learn about various components of a tailgate and various design strategies while designing. In this, we discuss a case study about the effects that a change of material brings to the property and manufacturability of the component and how it behaves in various load conditions. After understanding the components and its behavior we focus on the overall assembly of the part and how all the components should be mounted. For example, the relation between the hinges and the latch which indicates the trajectory of the tailgate should be meet and the necessary mountings should be designed keeping that parameter in mind. At the end of this project, your takeaway will be the various design parameters discussed, design methodology used in designing a tailgate, different ways of creating similar features in CAD, and an improved Surface modeling skill.
