Fender Design

                                                                                                       Fender Design

AIM = Follow the given Master section to create the Drip Area. Create  design according to the Engineering standard for the Sill, Bumper, Baffle(Splash), and A-Pillar mount with a report with all the relevant images included for the mounting points created.

DESCRIPTION

• Fender - Aesthetic component widely seen in cars that frames the body near to the wheel frame, manufactured with plastic, metal or rubber panel which extends from front bumper to car door.

  • There are  5 mounting regions on the  fender , they are

    • A- pillar mounting - Designed to attach the fender to A Pillar of the vehicle.
    • Baffle mounting - Created for attaching plastic components i.e baffle which prevents chipping inside the engine compartment.
    • Sill mounting - Created on the bottom portion of the fender for attaching to the sill.
    • Drip mounting - The point where the fender has to be attached to the engine compartment.
      • The drip area should be designed in such a way that it should be at least 150mm away from the front end of the fender to have sufficient space for mounting headlamps housing.
      • Mostly the drip area starts from 200mm away from the rear end of the fender, to have sufficient space for the cowl which carries the wiper equipment

Purpose of Fender :

• Protects car's internal frame from water, mud, snow, ice, thrown off the tires as you drive.
• Provide safety, good aerodynamics and better surface finish to make a close component.

SOFTWARE USED

• NX

REPORT

• As the inputs of master section, class A and dimensions are given in detail.
• Process started with creation of Sill mount followed by Baffle, A-pillar, and Drip mounts.
• The steps used in designing is properly aligned as separate feature groups in the below attatcted file.
• These mounts all are used in fender to connect the fender with other parts of car to maintain perosnal, vechicular safety, proper crash clearance and Noise vibration control tests, etc.
• Extend, sketch, project curve, trim sheet are commonly used in designing mounts for this fender. Finally it is deemed to thickening process inorder to make it a solid component.
• Detailed images and part file are attatched below for further reference.

Note: 

• Proper designing procedures as per video are provided.
• 0.75mm is the provided thickness to component.
• Fillets are provided of 3mm + thichness of the component format except those ones mentioned for drip area in the question itself.
• Tree structure are maintained properly.
