Calculating Wheel Arc Area of the car using the European Standards

OBJECTIVE :

The main objective of this challenge is to calculate the Wheel Arc area for the car and check whether the car will pass the European standards or not.

SOFTWARE USED :

NX CAD 12

European Standards :

Fig 1. European standards

For European standars the clearence between wheel and fender should be 10 mm, If the car doesn\'t met this clearence value then car fails in Eurostandards. To correct this the curvature of fender should need to be change.

MEASURED VALUES :

SECTION	MEASURED(L)(mm)	REQUIRED(L)(mm)	COMMENTS
SA	10	10	PASS
SB	9.48	10	FAIL
SC	0	10	FAIL
SD	0	10	FAIL
SE	0	10	FAIL

CONCLUSION :

Since the clearence value is less than required value, so the wheel arc area of the car does not met European standards and hence it fail to prove wheel Arc length
