Hood design-Week 2
- AIM
To create the hood for cars with atmost perfection.
- OBJECTIVES
- To create the inner panel for the hood using nx cad.
- Assembly of latch and hinges in the hood.
- Create trajectory for latch and the mastic data.
- BODY
- HOOD
A car hood, also referred to as a bonnet in some other countries,is the hinged cover that rests over the engine of a front-engine vehicle. Its purpose is to provide access to the engine for repair and maintenance.
- HINGES
The hood hinge is a mechanism that makes it possible for you to open and close your This part allows the hood panel to move up and down, similar to how a hinge allows the movement of doors and windows. Each car typically has a pair of hood hinges (driver and passenger side) installed in the front of the vehicle.
- LATCH
The hood latch mechanism in a car is a simple device. Located on the driver's side (usually on the left-hand lower corner of the dashboard) is the hood release handle. The hood release handle attaches to a cable which then routes through the dashboard towards the front of the vehicle.
- TRAJECTORY CIRCLE

- MASTIC DATA

- TOOLS USED
Line, circle, arc, point, ertude, offset surface, offset curve on face, trim sheet, trim body, through curves ,curves on surface, law extension, embose, edge blend, face blend, wave geometric linker, thicken ,sew ,mirror geometry, mirror feature, datum plane, extend sheet.
- CONCLUSION
With using all these tools ,hood panel is created using nx cad.
