Week 11 - Final project

DESIGN OF VEHICLE DOOR TRIM PLANE

AIM:

To create a solid body of side door including engineering features by using given class A surface and master section.

SOFTWARE USED: CATIA V5

INDRODUCTION:

By using class A and mastersection we going to create calss B,class c.In this present article we going to see complete automotive product life cycle and how new prooduct design is done . In OEM and tier 1 companies they first draw concept sketch and developed through class A team then comes to feasibility check moves to concept validation then to new product design.In this report we going to see complete detail report about door trim the class A divided into four majoir parts they are.

• Upper substrate
• Lower substrate
• Map pocket
• Arm rest.

PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE:

1. Concept sketch
2. Styling class A
3. Feasibility check
4. Concept validation
5. New product design
6. Development
7. Proto built
8. Design valitation
9. Pilot production
10. Mass production.

MASTER SECTION: mastersection are the guide for design requirement which decide the component packaging after technical class A surface.

ATTACHEMENT:

• Dog house
• Ribs
• Heate streakes
• Flanges.

CLASS A SURFCE:

• By using boundary or joint tool check class A to confirm there is no gap or patches .If u find any gap or patches infrom class A developer and after getting permission correct the patches and then start development.

TOOLING DIRECTION AND DRAFT ANALYSIS FOR INDIVIDUAL CLASS A:

• All parts are satisifed along Y tooling direction except door arm rest for that we need to create slider axis because it not satisfied along Y tooling direction so that we need to create slider axis.

CLASS B SURFACE CREATION:

• Class B are created by offset from class A surface to 2.5mm (2.5mm is conform by measured in mastersection)
• After extrate if need any split or MSS created it
• main thing is class B project same as class A.

CLASS C SURFACE CREATION:

• Class c surface create by using swwep tool with respect to the surface and tooling direction
• By using sweep tool select guide cure and reference surface and sweep along tooling direction
• Some boundary can't be sweep and that area use MSS,spline line and blend tool to create along surface
• After C surface created join it properly.

JOINT CLASS A,C AND TRIM WITH CLASS B:

ARM REST

MAP POCKET

LOWER SUBSTRATE

UPPER SUBSTRATE

CLOSED BODY:

B SIDE FEATURE CREATION:

FLANGE CREATION

• Flange is used to hold component

HEAT STREAKES:

DOG HOUSE:

COUNTER HOLES:

PUSH PIN:

DRAFT ANALYSIS:

FINAL PART:

COCLUSION:

• Class A,B and C surface created as per automotive standards
• B side feature created as per design rules for heat streakes,ribs,locators and dog house
• Draft analyis was performed for all component.
