MAIN TOPICS
1.INTRODUCTION OF A CAR BODY

2.DESIGN OF A CAR BODY BY USING CATIA V5
3.ANALYSIS OF A CAR BODY USING ABAQUS SOFTWARE
CAR BODY
The car body, also
known as the BIW(body in
white), is the main
structure of a car that
holds all the other parts
together. It protects the
passengers and cargo
inside the vehicle from
the elements and external
impact.
CAR BODY PARTS
TYPES OF CAR BODY
CAR BODY MATARIALS
1. Steel:
Still the most common material used in car bodies, steel is strong, durable, and relatively
inexpensive.
2.Aluminum:
Aluminum is becoming increasingly popular for car bodies because it is lighter than steel, which
can help to improve fuel efficiency. Aluminum is also resistant to corrosion.
3.Composite materials:
Composite materials, such as carbon fiber, are even lighter than aluminum and can be very
strong. They are often used in high-end sports cars.
4. Plastics:
Plastics are used for many of the exterior parts of a car body, such as bumpers, fenders, and trim.
Plastics are lightweight and can be molded into complex shapes
DESIGN OF A CAR BODY
ABOUT CATIA SOFTWARE :
◦ Computer Aided 3D Intractive Application
◦ Developed By Dassault systems in 1982
◦ Founder Of Catia V5 Is ‘ Francis Bernard’
◦ Application are automobile,medical,industries,aerospace etc.
PART DESIGN WORK BENCH :

Part Design workbench is a parametric and feature-based environment in which you
can create solid models. The basic requirement for creating a solid model in this workbench is a
sketch. The sketch for the features is drawn in the Sketcher workbench that can be invoked
within the Part Design workbench. You can draw the sketch using the tools in this workbench
CATIA V5 TOOLS
1. Compass:
The compass is used to manipulate the orientation of parts, assemblies, or
sketches. You can also orient the view of the parts and assemblies. By default, it appears on
the top right corner of the geometry area.The Specification tree that the CompassAppears
on starting a new CAT Part file
2. Constraints:
Constraints are the logical operations that are performed on the selected element
to define its size and location with respect to the other elements or reference geometries.
There are two types of constraints in CATIA V5.
3. PROFILE TOOL BAR :
The Profile Tool Bar Is Used For Sketch
An Profle.
4. OPARATION TOOL BAR :

Here We Can Perform Various
Operations Like Corner, Chamfer,
Trim,transformations, etc. Of A Sketch
5. SKETCH BASED FEUTURES TOOL

BAR :
Sketch Based Feutures Tool Bar Is Used
For Convert Sketch Or 2d To 3d Diagram.
6. DRESS UP FEUTURES TOOL BAR :

Modifications Of 3d Diagram Like Fillet, Draft,
Corner etc.
7. VIEW TOOL BAR :

this is an tool bar to view in different angles
or different views.
Side view of the car body
PROCDURE
STEP 1 ; DRAW THE SKETCH FRONT VIEW
Designing of wall in catia v5
STEP 2 : USE PAD OPTION
ABAQUS SOFTWARE
Abaqus is a suite of finite element analysis (FEA) software tools developed by
Dassault Systèmes SIMULIA. It's widely used in engineering and simulation to
study mechanical, thermal, and other physical behaviors of structures and
systems.
Abaqus offers capabilities for modeling, analyzing, and visualizing simulations

across various industries such as automotive, aerospace, civil engineering,
biomechanics, and more. It's known for its robustness, accuracy, and versatility,
allowing engineers and researchers to simulate complex real-world problems
accurately.
Overall, Abaqus is a powerful tool for simulating and analyzing the behavior of
structures and systems under various conditions, aiding in design optimization,
performance prediction, and decision-making processes.
loading the designed part to Abaqus
Software.
using the Catia V5 deign a solid bar that
is used as rigid body for the analysis
Assigning the material properties to the
material.
 Assigning the material properties to
the material.
 Meshing the part.
Loading both parts to assembly module.
 Setting boundary conditions for
the wall in the load module.
 Setting Velocity for the Car in the
load module.
visualization of deformation of the
crash.
