Hood design-Week 2

DESIGN CONSIDERATION

INNER FANEL

using hood outer panel we design inner panel.
using Wave geometry linker by transferring hood outer panel in to the inner panel part design workbench, then design is done according to the dimensions given in the drawing.
first offset the surface 2mm and outer structure is made according to drawing inside we make the emboss.
these emboss design in such a way that when collision of car occurs the force carried by the wood should avoid and distribute the force away from the car and its hight is 8.5mm.
provide the mastic points to strengthen the wood structure and assembled with the wood outer panel.
also provide the emboss for the hinge assembly placement.
this design is mainly done half of the wood inner panel once it’s done using the mirror option get full body design.
After that using the sew command join the both the surface.
Make the emboss for the striker placement.
Once it’s done thicken the surfaces.

OUTER PANEL

design the outer panel in way that it helps in hamming operation.
We make the shape of the outer panel offsetting surface and trim the surface according to the value given in the drawing.
Consider the dimension in the way that after the thickening it should achieve the given design shape.
Once surface got the hammed shape then thicken it.

ASSEMBLY

First fix the hood outer and inner panel of the hood.
Move the hinge assembly to the surface of the emboss provided in the wood inner panel.
And fix the axis of the hinge assembly to the x-axis so that hinge won’t move in the x-axis.
Assemble the hinge to the inner panel using surface touch fixing.
After that mirror the assembled hinge using mirror geometry with XY-plane so that same hinge placed opposite side also.
Place the striker on the inner panel emboss in a way that striker hook tangent to the circle which we created on the plane
That plane is created on the line which contact the two hinges.
