Guided industry project

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.

Automotive Roof Design

What will you do in this project?

  • 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.

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 advanced concepts 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 faster 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 how a BIW design changes from region to region, and what parameters are responsible for the change.
