Description
This course is designed to provide practical, industry-oriented training in Automotive Body-in-White (BIW) Hood Design using CATIA V5.

In this project-based training, you will learn how to develop a complete BIW Hood assembly following real OEM design methodology. The course covers hood inner panel development, outer panel reference handling, reinforcement creation, emboss design, and manufacturability considerations.

We start from understanding the design inputs and gradually build the hood inner panel using proper engineering logic. You will also learn how to design hinge reinforcement, latch reinforcement, and striker areas based on automotive standards.

Special focus is given to

• Emboss development for stiffness improvement
• Section creation and analysis
• Draft analysis for manufacturability
• Sheet metal best practices
• Industry design approach used in automotive companies

This course is ideal for mechanical and automotive engineering students, CAD designers, and professionals who want to enter the BIW domain or strengthen their practical project knowledge.

By the end of this course, you will be confident in designing a complete BIW Hood assembly using CATIA V5 with professional standards.

This project follows real automotive industry standards and workflow practices.

All design steps are explained with clear engineering logic and methodology.

Gain practical experience that matches real OEM BIW development processes.
