Hood design-Week 2
Aim: Design Hood Outer Panel, Inner Panel and the necessary reinforcements by following the Master Section mentioned with the Design parameters explained in the videos.
Data to be used:
Hood Thickness Information
- Outer Panel Thickness = 0.75mm
- Inner Panel Thickness = 0.75mm
- Reinforcement Thickness = 1.5mm
Here is the Master section:-
Introduction
Hood consists of outer panel and inner panel with latch striker reinforcement. Striker are used in hood to lock with the engine surface and we create mastics point to strength the part of hood with outer panel to avoid NVH.
TOOL USED TO CREATE HOOD
- FACE BLEND
- EDGE BLEND
- EMBOSS
- OFFSET CURVE IN FACE
- CURVE IN FACE
- LAW EXTENTION
- TRIM SHEET
- TRIM CURVE
Design the outerpanel:-
- First , we need to download the parts of hood.
- Then open the NX 12 software and set the assembly settings
Design the innerpane:-
- After taking the outerpanel save innerpanel as modal.
- then offset the outersurface in requred dimentions.
- by using offset, trim sheet, emboos, sketch, curve operations design the innerpanel
Assembling of Hinges and Strikker

Conclusion:
Hence, the hood design is completed considering all the master sections and all other requirements.
