    The document discusses the design of an inner hood panel for a vehicle using NX CAD software. It begins with an introduction to hood panels and their components. The objective is to create the inner panel along with hinge and latch reinforcements. The procedure uses various NX commands like offset surface, emboss, trim sheet, and blend to construct the panel geometry from a given outer panel and master section. Manufacturing methods like deep drawing and hemming are also discussed. The conclusion states the inner and outer panels were successfully created in NX while learning various modeling commands.

    HOOD DESIGN USING NX CAD

    1 INTRODUCTION
    HOOD: The hood is the cover of the engine in the vehicles with an engine at its front.
    The hood has two panels one is the outer panel, and the other is the inner panel. The
    outer panel design depends on the aerodynamics and car style. The inner panel design
    mainly checks the crash of the vehicle to the human body. For a good star rating and
    good NVC, the inner panel must be designed so precisely.

    The different types of parts present in the inner panel of the hood are, latch,
    reinforcements, hinge, support rods. The latch is the locking and unlocking
    mechanism of the hood. Once the latch is unlocked, the hood opens up to 2 to 5 mm
    for the hands to open the hood. The support rods are placed to support the hood in the
    open condition. The reinforcements are used for strengthing the hood. Hinges are
    attached to the reinforcements for opening and closing the hood. Support rods are
    used to support the hood in open condition at a certain angle. Mastic surfaces are soft
    surfaces that are placed between the outer and inner panel of the hood.

    2 OBJECTIVE
    The objective of the present challenge is to create an inner panel for the hood along
    with hinge and latch reinforcement in NX CAD.

    3 PROCEDURE TO CREATE HOOD OUTER AND


    INNER PANEL
    1. The styling department gives the outer hood panel. The given outer hood panel
    is kept in a feature group named as parent file.
    2. Trim the body to xc plane using the TRIM BODY command.
    3. Offset the surface with 0 mm using OFFSET SURFACE. Keep the offset
    surface in the feature group and name it as a working file.
    4. The hood inner panel master section is given. According to the given
    dimensions in the master section, the surfaces are created using commands: OFFSET
    SURFACES (2 mm, 4 mm, and 25 mm) OFFSET CURVE IN SURFACE(20 mm, 40
    mm and 55 mm), TRIM SHEET, THROUGH CURVES, and FACE BLENDS(6 mm
    and 15 mm radius).
    5. Now offset the curve to the inner panel and select EMBOSS command and
    give an angel higher than 7 degrees on the side of punching and create an emboss
    plane.
    6. As the car collides, the forces should not travel perpendicularly, so on the
    embossed area, sketches are given so that the forces travel sideways.
    7. To create these faces, LAW EXTENSION, TRIM & EXTEND commands are
    used. FACE BLEND and EDGE BLEND commands are used to give fillets.
    8. TRIM SHEET command is used to cut the sheets inside the emboss.
    9. Then the datum plane is created parallel to the inner panel region to create
    support for the hinge and latch sections.
    10. The latch has attached to its position.
    11. All the features are then placed in the feature group.
    12. The hood outer and inner panel is extracted as a body and named Hood outer
    and inner panel.

    4 MANUFACTURING METHODS TO CREATE THE


    HOOD INNER PANEL
    EMBOSS: To create the emboss, DEEP DRAWING manufacturing methods are
    used.

    HEMMING: The roller hemming method is used to attach the outer hood panel to the
    inner hood panel.

    5 CONCLUSION
    The outer hood panel and inner panel are created using the NX CAD software. The
    commands like EMBOSS, FACE BLEND, LAW EXTENSION, EDGE BLEND,
    OFFSET SURFACE, DATUM SECTION, OFFSET CURVE ON THE FACE have
    been studied and got a good knowledge about these commands.
