Design of backdoor
QUESTION. Use the provided styling surface to come up with a back door design, use appropriate design methodologies, and provide the necessary reinforcements and embosses
TAIL GATE : The tailgate is a door that gives access to the rear storage compartment of vehicles like trucks, vans, and SUVs. 2 It is made from steel panels that open and close with the help of a hinge mechanism. 3 The most common types of tailgates are drop-down, swing, split, and multi-way.
TOOL USED : CATIA V5
AIM :
To design Back door with the following requirements :
-Design outer panel with the hemming
-Develop the inner panel
-Develop all the necessary Reinforcements
-Mirror and position the hinge and striker
-provide mastic data
-Provide the required emboss definition
-Gas stay placements
-Wiper motor placement
The following guidelines should be considered while designing the hood:
- outer panel thickness = 0.75mm
- inner panel thickness =0.75mm
- Reinforcement thickness = 1.5mm
- Minimun fillet radius = 3mm+thickness
- No sharp edges
- Provide proper corner relief
- Emboss maximum depth = 6-7mm
GIVEN PART :

HEMMING : Hemming is a technology used in the automotive industry to join inner and outer closure panels together (hoods, doors, tailgates, etc.). It is the process of bending/folding the flange of the outer panel over the inner one. The accuracy of the operation significantly affects the appearance of the car’s outer surfaces and is therefore a critical factor in the final quality of a finished vehicle.
