Fender Design - Wheel Arch Challenge

Wheel Arc Challenge

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the wheel arc challenge is to calculate the wheel arc area using Siemens NX CAD and to prove whether the given fender of car will pass the European standards or not.

Introduction

WHEEL ARCH: The wheel arch is the semi-circular part positioned above the wheel of a vehicle. The most important body change was that the front wheel arch was cut higher into the fender. Corrosion had occurred around the splash plate at the back of the wheel arch.

FENDER: Fender is the part of a car that protects and frames its wheels and keeps mud from splashing it. Most modern vehicles have fenders on their front wheels. It is the part of a car, truck or motorcycle that surrounds the wheel sell. The primary function of a fender is to prevent dirt and debris from being thrown into the air by the tire. The fender is located over the wheels of the vehicle. As such, there are four fenders on a typical vehicle: front right, front left, rear right and rear left.

As Per Europe Standard L value should be 10mm

The given fender passes European standard the L value is 10mm
