Hood design-Week 2

OBJECTIVE:

Project is about design a Hood or Bonnet BIW that satisfies the manufacturing requirements and functional equipment of Hood or Bonnet using NX-CAD.

INTRODUCTION:

Hood may be hinged at either front or rear edges in earlier models. it maybe split into two sections one each side, each hinged along the centreline. A further variant combines the bonnet and wheel arches into one section and allows the entire front body and wheel arches into one section and allows the entire front body work to tilt forward around a pivot near the front of the vehicle.

Hood is made aerodynamic in shape to reduce air effect and used to decorate the front portion of the car and to add a luxurious look of cars. Hood generally used to cover car engines, radiators and any other components, therefore the hood must be designed in such a way that all the maintenance on the engine. In addition to that f it come across any accidents from the front portion most of the time the hood system gets damaged first and absorbs most of the impact energy resulting from the crash.

PURPOSE:

• Provide access to the engine maintenance.
• Covers all engine, radiator and other components.
• Safety passengers.
• Reduce air effect due to its aerodynamic shape design.
• Reduces engine noise which helps for quieter drive.

COMPONENTS OF HOOD:

• Hood Outer Panel
• Hood Inner Panel
• Latch and Stricker Reinforcement
• Hinge Reinforcement

Hood Outer Panel:

Hood Inner Panel:

Latch and Stricker Reinforcement:

Hinge Reinforcement:

Assembly View:

CONCULSION:

In this challenge Hood or Bonnet is designed successfully in a top-down approach and a creating the Inner panel using given Master Sketch and assemble the Latch and striker and hinge assemble with reinforcement. Which satisfies the industry manufacturing requirements.
