DESIGN FOR CRASHWORTHINESS OF AN AUTOMOTIVE SUB-SYSTEM USING CAE TECHNIQUES

Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) plays an extreme importance in Automotive design. In new automotive design process, crashworthiness simulations play a major role among all the dynamic Finite Element Analyses (FEA) simulations. This work deals with a design of automotive Cross-Car Beam (CCB) sub-system for crashworthiness. In this practice CAD modelling is generated by using Creo 2.0 and Finite Element(FE) Simulation Analysis was carried out via HyperWorks 13.0 and LSDYNA. The main objective of this work is to optimize the Cross-Car Beam (CCB) SubSystem design before production with the maximum crashworthy concert as per the legal regulations.
