Wiring Harness Design: Week 2   Introduction A wiring harness is an organized assembly of electrical wires, cables, and connectors used in various industries to transmit power and signals efficiently within devices, machines, or vehicles. It simplifies installation, maintenance, and repairs by bundling all necessary…

Butterfly valve (assembly): Week 14 Introduction: Butterfly valves are essential components in fluid control systems, providing reliable flow regulation and control. Their robust construction, variety of materials, and different operating modes make them suitable for a wide range of applications across industries. Proper…

Design of backdoor week 12 Introduction: It is a panel at the back end of a vehicle (as a station wagon) that can be let down for loading and unloading. A tailgate is a door located at the back of a car, designed to provide access to the trunk or cargo area. It is attached to the vehicle using hinges positioned at the…

Roof Design: What is roof of a car?  Roof of a car is an important element in a car from different aspects. It plays an important role in passenger safety. It protects the passenger from different external agents like dust, debris, high velocity stream of air, water, etc. It is also an important structural element of a…

Fender Design - Wheel Arch Challenge Analysis of the wheel arch area: For pedestrian safety, the wheel should be within the fenders. Fenders are used to protect the engine compartment and pedestrians from getting hit from small gravel on the road. There are different standards for different countries. The countries’…

Draft analysis: Deep drawing is a process where a sheet metal is formed using the process of pressing the sheet against a die using a punch. Deep drawing angle is angle between the perpendicular axis with respect to the tangent drawn with respect to the wall. This angle decides the quality of the 3d sheet metal part. It…

CHALLENGE REPORT Week 10 Assembly workbench Assembly 1: Creation of individual parts: The parts are individually created in the part workbench as per the given drawings. The drawings consisted of 2 dimensional structures and sections of individual parts. Perform part operations by constructing lines and sketches at appropriate…

CHALLENGE REPORT Week 9 Project 2 The class A doesn’t have any defect which needed to be improved. Hence this step has been skipped. TOOLING AXIS: Tooling axis has been created keeping in mind the position of the plastic feature. Hence, we need to create extracts and then proceed. Thus, create 2 planes each perpendicular…

CHALLENGE REPORT Week 9 Project 1 Tooling axis: While working with the part, view the given class A surface from all the 3 given axes. Upon looking the class-A, y-axis was found to be clearing the whole class A. Create a new geometric set “SURFACE WORK”, under which we will be creating our B and C surface.…

Challenge Report Week 9 challenge 2 Dog House Design: Dog House: It is a plastic attachment feature which is used to increase the height of a particular area where some other plastic feature like screw boss need to be mounted. It is designed such a way that it doesn’t produce sink marks at that region. Its main application…

Underbody coating: It is a layer of coating which is coated under the floor of the monocoque of the car. This process of coating comes after the stages of full body coating of ED and another full body coating of primer. It is made up of a thick, rubber like material which is sprayed under the floor.  Process: …

Benchmarking:   Benchmarking: It is basically a structured comparison of similar products, processes and services. It is the first stage in the development of a vehicle in Design Engineering stage. A detailed report is made upon the market size, customer requirement, specifications and features offered by the rivals,…

Challenge Report. Week 9 challenge 1 Rib making Ribs are made on the surface which might face wrappage or is feeble to loads. They are formed on the B side of the surface. Create a new geometric set naming “rib design”. Extract the surface on which the ribs are to be formed. Draw a sketch (line) on which the…

CHALLENGE REPORT Week 8 Challenge 5 Tooling axis: While working with the part, view the given class A surface from all the 3 given axes. Upon looking the class A, y-axis was found to be clearing the whole class A. Create a new geoset. “SURFACE WORK”, under which we will be creating our B and C surface. Create…

CHALLENGE REPORT: CHALLENGE REP.docx Week 8 Challenge 4 TOOLING AXIS Visually check the component from all the directions on how the component can be cleared through the tooling axis. Create a point on a surface somewhere in the middle of the component. Create a line along the x axis. Now perform a draft analysis…

Challenge Report Core and cavity design Create a new geometric set “CORE AND CAVITY DESIGN” under the main part. Create a boundary and extrapolate it in all direction incrementally till it is trimmable. Enable the draft analysis and observe which surfaces will go in core and cavity resp. Unhide the C surface…

    Tooling axis: Create a section and check the feasibility of the tooling direction. [SEC VIEW CLASS A]. Taking section along y-z plane, form a mean line with respect to the side walls. Take an intersection on class A and y-z plane on axis system. The walls are at 0-degree draft. (We should send the design…

CHALLENGE REPORT:   Tooling axis: Checked for the feasibility for the tooling direction by looking into the component from all the angles with respect to the 3 perpendicular axes. Found out the axis was directed along the z-axis. Created 2 dummy tool axis along x and y axes respectively. Dummy tooling axis along the…

Challenge Report (week 8 ch1)  Tooling axis: Checked for the feasibility of tooling axis along x, y, z axes. Z axis has been selected as tooling direction. Created a dummy tooling axis along the large hole. Created an extended line along the direction of the line of concern. Created a bisecting line along those lines.…
