Hood design-Week 2
Report On Hood Design:
Objective:
- To Design Hood Outer Panel, Inner Panel and the necessary reinforcements by the Master Section mentioned with the Design parameters.
Design Considerations:
- Hood Head Zone For Lock Striker.
- Opening & Closing Angle of Latchen Striker.
- Emboss.
- Gap For Mastic Seal.
- Hemming.
- Clearance for Hem Glue.
- Hem Reliefs.
- Pedastrain Safety.
- Outer Panel Thickness = 0.75mm.
- Inner Panel Thickness = 0.75mm.
- Reinforcement Thickness = 1.5mm.
- Minimum draft angle should be 7°.
Design Methodology:
- Develop the Inner Panel.
- Position the hinge assembly and latchen striker.
- Develop the outer panel.
- Hemming.
Master Section:
Design Procedure:
Hood Inner Panel:
- Extract the hood from the outer panel using Wave Geometry Linker.
- Using Emboss command create the embosses.
- Using the trim command create the cutouts.
- Mirror the part using mirror geometry command to develop the Hood Inner Panel.
Latchen Striker And Hinge Assembly:
- Activate the Hinge Assembly.
- Using Assembly constraints position the hinge assembly.
- Now mirror the hinge assembly using mirror geometry command.
- Thicken the Hood Inner Panel of length 0.75mm towards outward.
- Activate the Striker.
- Using Assembly constraints position the striker.
Hood Outer Panel:
- Activate the Hood Outer Panel.
- Offset the surface upto a length of 2.6mm.
- Offset the curve upto a distance of 7.7mm and trim it.
- Give the face blend of length 6mm.
- Provide releifs for hemmings and give the clearance of minimum 3mm.
- Mirror the part to develop the hood outer panel.
- Now thicken the hood outer panel of length 0.75mm.
