Fender Design - Wheel Arch Challenge
Aim :
To Calculate the Wheel Arch gap at required points and check whether the car passes the European standard.
Objectives :
Follow The Design Considerations Of Fender Wheel Arch.
Conclude The Fender is Passed or Failed.
Procedure :
Fender :
In Simple Manner,
a metal or plastic enclosure over the wheels of an automobile or other vehicle to protect against splashing mud, etc.
Fender Wheel Arch :
It is the semi-circular part of the fender positioned above the wheel of the vehicle. The design of the wheel arch of the fender should be such that it must shield wheels and protect both passengers compartment and pedestarians from the projection of watr, mud and stones.
Also Have Different Standards But we Consider the Europe Standards which meet our country requirements also...
Lets Construct the Fender Wheel Arch ..,
1.Open the Nx Or Catia.
2.Load The Given Data.
3.Create A Plane On Wheel.
4.Then Skecth According To the European Standards, Remember That creat the intersecting Points On Sketch As Shown in figure given below.
5.After that Project The Sketch Points On Fender As Shown in figure given below.
6.Measure The Sketched Points & Projected Points.
Let Us Consider,
1st Point Analysis (SB) :
Nearer To Head Light Analysis is The Maximum Distance is 10 mm As Shown in figure given below.
2nd Point Analysis (SA) :
90 Degree Analysis From Horizontal Axis Of Fender is The Maximum Distance is 9.94 mm As Shown in figure given below.
3rd Point Analysis (SC) :
Take 50 Degree From Last Line Of Fender is The Maximum Distance is 0.11 mm As Shown in figure given below.
4th Point Analysis (SD) :
Create the line of 150 mm From Horizontal Axis Line Of Fender so The Maximum Distance is 2.92 mm As Shown in figure given below.
5th Point Analysis (SE) :
Create another Line Between the Horizontal first line after to vertical first line after from door side so The Maximum Distance 5.99 mm As Shown in figure given below.
Conclusion :
The Values At SC, SD, SE are not Lies Between The European Standars, Therefore this fender cannot pass the European standards & It Needs To Be Send back to the class A designer to modify the design and increase the gap there.
