Abstract:In order to get the optimistic structure property and design parameters of a car body, the system of vehicle body concept design (VCD-ICAE) was developed by us to make the body design in the conceptual phase in the paper. It can build parametric geometry modeling and FEM model of body-in-white (BIW) automatically, and the structural stiffness was calculated. Based on the former model, a multi-objective optimization of the total body was designed to afford the reasonable parameters for detailed model of BIW, which realized lightweight of the whole body and high stiffness. In the paper, the total theory and flowchart of vehicle body concept design were afforded. An example with real body's data was shown to prove the validity of the multi-objective optimization module in VCD-ICAE system. Finally, the optimal design scheme of the body was provided.
