Guided industry project

Automotive Back Door Design

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.

Automotive Back Door Design

What will you do in this project?

  • 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

The project is a advanced level project

  • This project is great for undergraduate students, M.Tech, or MS students.
  • If you are a working professional, this project will be helpful to learn advance accepts of surface modeling and other workbenches of NX CAD or CATIA.
  • You will learn the engineering aspects of designing BIW components and various concepts and parameters in designing any component
  • You will learn how to approach the design by looking into the manufacturability of the parts and how to improve your design.

Pre-requisites

  • Must be familiar with Engineering drawing subjects.
  • Having a basic knowledge of NX CAD and CATIA or other design software will help in completing the project in a fast phase

Skills to develop

  • You will learn the basic principle of Design for Manufacturing
  • This project will change your overall perspective of a car. It will give you a deeper appreciation of the design and the safety measures taken in vehicle development.
  • You will have a deeper understanding of a BIW component is designed and what are the various parameters behind it's design
