Design Of Hood Using NX Siemens

AIM:

• To design and develop car hood.
• To understand how Latch reinforcement and Hinge are placed on hood.

INTRODUCTION:

The hood or bonnet is the hinged cover over the engine of motor vehicles that allows access to the engine compartment, or trunk on rear-engine and some mid-engine vehicles for maintenance and repair. Hoods are typically made out of the same material as the rest of the body work. This may include steel, aluminum, fiberglass or carbon fiber. However, some aftermarket companies produce replacements for steel hoods in fiberglass or carbon fiber to make the vehicle lighter.

The hood release system is common on most vehicles and usually consists of an interior hood latch handle, hood release cable and hood latch assembly. The hood latch handle is usually located below the steering wheel, beside the driver\'s seat or set into the door frame.

Function:

Earlier main function of hood was easy acess to the engine. But its funtion has expanded. It design helps in reduction of air resistance so the vehicle can run more smothly which in turn helps in e4ngine performance.

Hood design also helps in protecting Pedestrian and Passenger.
