Section Modulus calculation and optimization

Butterfly Valve assembly: The butterfly valve assembly is assembled in NX using various touch and axis align constraints. The individual parts designed are brought into the assembly file and aligned at the required places to form the butterfly valve assembly. GD and T: The flat surfaces of the butterfly are established…

Backdoor Design: Objective:  To design the backdoor of a car using the provided styling surface, with proper design guidelines. To check draft analysis to ensure the manufacturability of the part. To provide proper reinforcements and embosses at required places to improve strength and support of the outcome part.…

Objective: To create a roof assembly from the given master section, with all required reinforcements like bow roof, center roof, front, and rear roof, and perform draft analysis for the designed components to check the manufacturability. To perform heat distortion and snow load calculations to ensure the safety of the…

Objective: To design a front fender with all mounting features as per Engineering standards. Fender: A fender is a curved panel that sits above the wheels of a car, covers the engine component, and runs from the bumper to its doors. It protects the car by picking up all the dirt and other things on the road, which…

Objective: To check the Wheel arc gap of the given front fender and conclude whether it satisfies European standards. Fender: A fender is a curved panel that sits above the wheels of a car, covers the engine component, and runs from the bumper to its doors. It protects the car by picking up all the dirt and other…

Section Modulus: Section modulus is a geometric property that theoretically explains the resistance of a cross-section to bending. It is expressed as the ratio of the area moment of Inertia from the neural axis to the distance of the outermost point from the neutral axis. If Z is the section modulus Z= I/y Section modulus…

The intent of the project is to learn the design idea behind the development of automobile hoods and the overall hood assembly. What is a 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…

What is Underbody coating? Cars need to be given additional care, especially during monsoon seasons, the car’s underbody should be given extra care. A car’s underbody is exposed the most to muddy terrains, potholes, debris and stones, and wet and even flooded roads that lead to corrosion of the underbody.…

BENCHMARKING: Benchmarking is a process of comparing the technicalities, processes, and services of our product with similar products in the market. This comparison provides insights into the major selling point, setbacks, and other strong areas which improve the competitiveness of the developed product. The objective…

Working Procedure: Part build: The individual piece parts were built first as per the dimensions 2d drawing using CATIA V5. The features used are Sketch, Pad, fillet, Pocket, and boolean operations like add, union trim, etc. After building the piece parts, they were drafted to complete the task. Assembly builds: The assembly…

The design of B-side features was also built by maintaining the design guidelines. The draft analysis…

Isometric view: Front view: Side view: Modal Tree:        Draft analysis: The door applique is designed with all the required heat stakes and locators to make it properly fit in the location. A draft of 0.5 mm has been provided for all the features. The heat stakes make the door fit the correct…

Views: Isometric: Bottom: Front: Tooling axis creation and Draft analysis: The design of the screw boss and the dog house are done considering the design guidelines. They were designed considering the minimum draft of 0.5 degrees. The tooling axis of the doghouse is created by using the default tooling axis by orientating…

Isometric: Bottom view: Front view: Draft analysis results: The tooling axis is created normal to the base surface. The draft analysis is done with respect to the tooling axis but multiple colours indicate the need for additional tooling as these require some side cores. The draft analysis is run with a 3 mm draft and…

Views: Isometric view: Front view: Side view: Modal tree:       Tooling Axis Creation: The tooling axis has been created normal to the base surface, maintaining a minimum of 3 deg draft across the side walls. This was created using a 3D line and adjusted through Angle/ Normal to curve option. There…

Views: Isometric view: Front view: Top view: Tooling axis creation: First, the pulling direction is determined with proper analysis, and then by using the intersection option we create the faces which have shrinking issues. Then we create intersection lines with the points in the draft. By using the bisecting line option…
