• Complete Scorecard Assessment for all Closures & Body : (Car and Minivan Projects)• The Complete scorecard assessment is done all above Components of doors(front &rear),Deck lid or Lift gate, Hood, Roof, Quarter panel and other BIW Components from initial design phase (Step 0) to final design phase(FDJ).• The scope was to perform Static and Dynamic analysis of closure assembly. The Scorecard of each closure contains list of analysis with various stiffness target to achieve in different conditions with only closure components and also with closure components are connected to body. Based upon the Stiffness target of each closure is analysed and design suggestions are given to improve the targets given for components in each design phase.
