Fender Design
OBJECTIVE :
The objective of the project is design a fender using CATIA V5
FENDER :
The main purpose of the fender is to prevent sand,mud, rocks,liquids and another road spray from being thrown into the air by the rotating tire .
TYPES OF FENDERS :-
There are two types of fenders , they are
1) full bumper type
2) half bumber type
- Presently we are using the half bumper type , the reason for choosing the half bumper type is that when we choose the full bumper type the blank used for creating it is very large and also has the lot of wastage , but in the case of the half bumper type we have the possibility to reduce the scrap . This is what we called as scrap management
- In half bumper type we reduce the usage of the steel materialand uses the lots of plastic on the bumper which in term decreases the cars weight and increases the performance
MOUNTING REGIONS ON FENDER : There are 5 mounting regions on the fender , they are
- A- pillar mounting
- Baffle mounting
- Sill mounting
- Bumper mounting
- Drip mounting
DESIGN METHODOLOGY :
GIVEN DATA :
GIVEN CLASS A SURFACE :
- 1)THE DRIP AREA CREATION BY USING PARALLEL CURVE AND POINTS BY USING MASTER SECTION MEASURMENTS.:- 
2) THE BUMPER MOUNTING AREA :- BY USING SAME PARALLEL CURVE AND POINTS METHOD WE CREATE THE BUMPER MOUNTING AREA AS WELL :-
3)BAFFLE AREA :-
4)SEAL MOUNTING AREA :-
5)COWL AREA:- 
EMBOSSES AND MOUNTING HOLES CREATION:- for the cration of embosses and mounting holes we use the sweep command and by using the sketch we trim the embosses with proper weep angle and give fillets to the sharp edges.the process is same for all the 5 side of mountings. And we split the sketch for the holes as well. 1)DRIP AREA -
2)BUMPER MOUNTING AREA:-
3)SEAL MOUNT AREA:- 
4)COWL MOUNTING AREA:
- 5)BAFFLE MOUNTING AREA:-
