Fender Design - Wheel Arch Challenge

Wheel Arc area Calculation – Fender Design

Aim: To determine the Wheel arc area and i have to check whether the given fender design complies with the European standards or not.

Inputs: Model of Front fender and wheel,European standards for Wheel Arc area.

Checkpoints: For the arc area to comply with the given standards, the distance from the edge of the wheel to the given point must be 10.00 mm.
There are five different points (SA, SB, SC, SD, SE) given as per the image below.

Evaluation:

The sketch in the below is drawn as per the European standards to determine the compliance of the design with the standards.

Actual Values Measured: Point SB = 10.00 mm

Point SA = 9.9490 mm

Point SC = 0.1139 mm

Point SD = 2.8875 mm

Ponit SE = 5.9973 mm

TABULATION:

SECTION	REQUIRED DISTANCE	CLEARED DISTANCE	RESULT
SA	10mm	9.9490 mm	PASS
SB	10mm	10 mm	PASS
SC	10mm	0.1139 mm	FAIL
SD	10mm	2.8875 mm	FAIL
SE	10mm	5.9973 mm	FAIL

CONCLUSION: Acooding to European requirement the given wheel arch is not good for manufacturing , Design team has to work on section SC,SD and SE Sections.
