Fender Design - Wheel Arch Challenge

AIM :-

Calculate the Wheel Arch gap at required points and check whether the car passes the European standard.

ABSTRACT :-

Here we need to ckeck the Wheel Arc_Gap by the European standard, on the provided wheel arc part file.

PROCEDURE_1 :- Draw a sketch.

When we download the seimens part file & Step file we can use Catia v5 or Seimens Nx Software to measure the wheel arc.

  1. So here, I have use the Nx_software & poen the part file as well. After that , the first step is to create a sketch. so we need a datum plane.
  2. The datum plane has created there & select a sketch commad. First we need to covert the Wheel corner & Fender corner as a projection curve. Then we need to draw a line or create a sketch regarding to the European standard.First i draw the lreferance line from the wheel centre to the fender corner as well.
  3. And Another horizontal line. The main 2 lines are important to draw with the reference to the vertical line. The left one having a 30 Degree angle & Right one has a 50 Degree, as the European standard. The 2 lines has drawn the we need to draw the line with the referance the Horizontal line i have draw the one line with an horizontal & vertical distance is 150mm.
  4. Hence this line & right hand side 59 degree line between this we have draw the Derieved line. So in this way we have created the 2 referance line & 4 main line where we need to create a 5 points there. Where the lines & projection curve are meet there. After creatingg ppoints exit the sketch. In this way the sketch has completed.

PROCEDURE_2 :- Project the points.

Here we need to create a points with the referance by the created points in the sketch. We can use the project curve for the projecting the point on the places. In the project curve command we need to select a point first & second & project the curve at a specific y_vector. So i have projected the points as well. & finally the European standard 10mm distance or Gap has identified & it is favorable & accepteble to this Standerd as well.

CONCLUSION :-

In this way i have calculated the Wheel Arch gap at required points and checked the car passes the European standard. So it is passes the European standard.
