Automotive Tail-lamp Design using CATIA V5

In this project, you will work on an Automotive Tail lamp assembly. You will perform the following steps in this project

• A-surface given by the styling team is not always smooth or behaves to surface operations properly, that's why the first step is to analyze the A-surface
• As soon as the surface quality is fixed, you need to create the B surface and then start making the welding track and by doing draft analysis simultaneously   
• The draft analysis will get defined by defining the tooling direction with respect to the welding track.
• Now you will move on to create the reflectors for the bulb. The number and position of the bulb is determined by following the ECE regulations.
• Once the welding track and the reflector creation is completed, you will create the housing vertical and horizontal sections which intern followed by how the housing design proceeds
• After creating the sections housing A-surface and B-surface are created  with respect to the reflectors 
• One the Housing is created you will optimize the housing design bu add ribs and other features for increasing its strength and mounting of the tail lamp
• Now all the parts in a tail lamp are assembled and a sample wiring harness is prepared
• After completing the assembly you will check your design with the ECE regulations 
• And Assembly drawing and the child part drawing will be prepared with BOM

• Analyzing the A surface and Geometry Cleanup
• Preparing welding track for the Lens
• Creating Housing A surface and B surface
• Creating ribs, dog house, and bosses on housing for child part mounting
• Mounting bulbs, bulb holders, reflectors to housing and other child parts to the housing
• Creating Assembly and Child part drawing with BOM
