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.

Benefits of this Project

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.

What will you do in this project?

Step 1 - Designing the Front, Back and the Side flanges of the outer panel.

Step 2 - Modeling Front and Rear roof rails w.r.t the master section

Step 3 - Design Center and Bow roof rails and complete the assembly design

Step 4 - Calculate the Heat distortion criteria for Roof curvature study

Step 5 - Calculate the Snow-load criteria for Roof curvature study

  • In this project, you first start with getting the styling data and then fix the surface if any geometry cleanup required
  • Then according to the master section provided and by following the parameters for designing roof you will create the front, side, and the rear flange of the roof outer panel
  • After completing the roof outer panel design you will start with creating the respective roof rails in the front and rear section of the roof by simultaneously analyzing the manufacturability of each part
  • Now by assuming the approximate positions of the center roof rail. you will model the bow roof rails. While designing the blow roofs of the component you will learn how these component are joined to the roof outer panel and the side body of the car
  • The next step will be assembling all the components together and then performing respective calculations for curvature study and to finalizing the positions of the bow roof.

Modeling the automotive roof design

In this project, you will be designing all BiW components of the automotive roof. 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 which helps the overall design of the car whether it is for safety or strength or any other parameter. And understanding that reason and implementation of the same separate an Design Engineer for all the CAD modeling professions. For this project not only you will be focusing on the design of the roof you also have to focus on the overall strength of the roof by performing a few simple calculations. These calculations are on the basis of the region and the weather the condition the car is going to perform. By doing those calculations you will understand the overall curvature of the roof and also the position of the components you have designed are correct or not. From this challenge, you will gain a deeper understanding of how the roof components are designed, how and where the roof will be welded and joined with the side body. and the overall function od the roof and its components.
