HOOD DESIGN- CHALLANGE

Introduction:-

Hood is main component of a car at the front portion. It is used to decorate the car & add luxurious look. The shape of the bonnet is made aerodynamic in order to minimize the air effect.

HOOD DESIGN :

There lot more things before the hood gets in to designing hands that to be considered.

The height of the hood is designed based on the country standards as the height of a average person changes from place to place.

The material consideration is also required that should be cost effective to manufacture.

The Hood should be designed with a light weight for the pedestrain saftey as the person hit to hood there should be minimal harm to the person.

The input design for the input panel is given below :

The outer panel given is shown below :

So according to the input design given the outer model should be modified to get the final input panel model.

First the outer panel should be exactley halfed into middle using mid plane and should work on the half anel.

Then all the features should be mirrored and and sewed together.

Now the features are to be built up like embosses, mastic points, embosses for hinges and latch.

The law extension command is used to combine upper edge and the offseted surface.

Through curves command is used to join between the both upper face and the lower offset faces.

Now embosses should be created on the inner panel for removing material to get a light weight component.

Below image is shown for mastic embosses and the hinge embosses.
