In result, knowledge driven automation has become more and more important in the vehicle design stage. It focuses on a total system level vehicle development process and uses the knowledge throughout the product lifecycle. Being a leading global provider of PLM software and services in automotive industry, UGS delivers a collection of wizards to facilitate the whole process, starting from vehicle architecture design till detailed product development. This document explains how those tools are being used in vehicle architecture design. 1.1 Vehicle design process The whole vehicle development process can be divided into following steps, (1) Architecture Design; (2) Program Definition;(3) Concept Design; (4) Detailed Development; (5) System integration; (6) Release; (7) Production.

The user only needs to follow the steps to the design process. The wizard UI captures the existing knowledge in the design process. The burden of know how is not on the user but is captured in the wizard. Using Wizard to deliver technology enable less experienced engineers to effectively solve more complex problems with high quality results.Introduction Area Banner area Navigator tree nes Eyelipse Percentile O Tengent Cutoff Eyelipse 95% © Tangent Cutoff Eyellipse 99% © Both © Indusive Eyelipse 95% Head Contour Percentile (© 95% head position contour © 99% head position contour © Both ‘Navigator button Work area2.Vehicle Architecture Design 2.1 Architecture Study Introduction The architecture study shows a process & is not intended to be created as a wizard or assistant. It combines spreadsheet driven architecture files & menu driven editing (from within Nx) of the architecture files. It makes heavy use of internal Nx expression with links to external Excel spreadsheets (something that is new to Nx3). The study creates geometry & parameters (expressions) that can be used by the individual packaging tools for the evaluation of the architecture structure. The packaging tools are part of the “general packaging” tool kit. The packing tools leveraged during this study are 2D mannequin Eye ellipse Instrument panel visibility Windshield vision zones Direct field of view Mirror certification As more tools become available they can be leveraged as validation tools during the architectural study. Architecture files - an over view The architecture files consist of an assembly that contains Suspension sembly inipotor Powertrain 3 Ee acheter Chassis Body_eng Styling CAE Architecture These files contain geometry to create the required information for these relevant areas of the vehicle. The architecture file is the main driver file it contains the base geometry driven by the spreadsheet it also contains the information & geometry to be used by the general packaging tools.The architecture file Each layer that has geometry has a category name describing what the geometry is for. The image shows the layer status to demonstrate the architecture structure. Stepping through layers 105 to 110 with each packaging tool you demonstrate.

The expressions used within the architecture file to drive the geometry are linked to this spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is divided into 3 basic areas Basic vehicle dimensions Occupant location Body shape dimensions Basic Vehicle dimensions This sheet controls the basic vehicle dimensions, Vehicle configuration Basic dimension & hard points Wheel base informationOccupation location The occupant location information is contained in two sheets front & rear occupant. These are used to define the location of the hip point (SgRP or H point), hell point steering wheel and any other information relevant to packaging the front occupant. Some of the dimensions are calculated for example the SgRP and heel heights, these are calculated using the ground & rocker height etc from the vehicle dimensional information. The across car location (i.e. positive or negative value) is determined by the RH/LD drive setting in the basic vehicle configuration area. The passenger information is setup to be the opposite side of the centre line if you change the driver location the passenger location will be updated. Front Occupant Locations for Right Hand Drive3 General Packaging Study General Packaging Wizard provides SAE Study tools for 2D Manikin, Eyellipse, Instrument Panel Visibility, Windshield Vision Zones, Direct Field of View, Mirror Certification, HPD Tool, Seat Line, Reflection Date, A pillar obscuration, Maximum Reach Zones, Seat Belt Anchorage and Mechanical Packaging Study tools for Engine Roll & Tire Envelop. The study performed here mainly focuses on visibility checking and how to update the model using spreadsheet inside NX part and external spreadsheet. 3.1 Vehicle Packaging study 3.11 Introduction The vehicle packaging wizard lets you define vehicle and occupant packaging dimensions in a single, integrated environment. You can also perform general packaging studies and create comprehensive reports about a vehicle's interior dimensionénterior parameters are defined using the SAEJI100 standard. Tt has two wizards: Vehicle Packaging wizard and Occupant Pac Vehicle Packaging wizard first defines the vehicle's basic parameter Packaging wizard creates features for the occupant when a seating position in the former wizard is specified. 3.1.2 Prepare themodel To begin the Vehicle Packaging wizard, choose the Vehicle Packaging , GpWild’ TOME, MAE RETO PITT NEES MIE SITE EMA GLE Se ICTR ar Packaging-> Vehicle Packaging Vehicle Packaging wizard Occupant Packaging wizard (0 Vehicle Packaging (Front Driver “Zi vehicle setting of Setting FF B8 occupant List ov HPaint Design Ey Report o Steering Wheel Posture Checker =v Eye Position wv Evelipse ‘EEC Vision Points Rear View Dimension =) ¥ Side View Dimension Knee Clearance ¥ Floor Covering v Head Position vf Hand Reach Envelope Si Seat Track Travel Graph Seat Track Travel Grap Seat Position Curves Seat Dimension ‘v Seat Belt Anchorage Y Vision Angle 12 @ Vision - Front View The Vehicle Packaging wizard consists of steps show in above left navigation tree.

Step-17 14 Each step in the navigation tree represents a process to create a Vehicle Packaging study. Firstly, define the vehicle's basic parameters which are stored in a single vehicle packaging feature. Then, select a seating position in the vehicle and define an occupant to open the Occupant Packaging wizard, where you create features for the occupant. The Vehicle Packaging wizard provides step-by-step guidance through each element of the process. Use the navigation menu on the left side of the wizard dialog to move through the steps. 3.13 Procedure These procedures assume you are using the navigation tree to proceed through the steps in the wizard. You can also just double-click a step in the navigation tree at any time to change a step's options.First, the Vehicle Packaging Wizard: Wizard Graphic Steps Procedure 1: Vehicle Setting “<2 1.

The HPD is a simplified CAD version of HPM(H-Point Machine), and is used during design to establish key reference points within the vehicle, including the SgRP(Seating Reference Point) for eacbufitPoint Besian Tol occupant position, heel points(accelerator heel point gx Welcome for the driver and floor reference points for jue passengers). These points are then used to configure. SEzPostion Right shoe and measure many aspects of the interior &] Position Option compartment. Pedal Geometry It meets the recommendation of SAE J4002, POM.
