This course is a complete industry-level Automotive BIW Door Design project using CATIA V5. It is designed for mechanical and automotive engineers who want to gain practical Body in White (BIW) design experience. In this course, you will learn how to develop a full BIW Door assembly from scratch following real automotive design standards and manufacturing considerations.
We will start with understanding the door structure and then move step-by-step into designing:
- Door Inner Panel
- Door Outer Panel
- Emboss development
- Hinge and Latch reinforcement areas
- Hemming design
- Mounting and structural considerations
- Draft analysis and validation
This is a project-based course where you will build the complete model inside CATIA V5. The workflow follows industry practices used in automotive companies. If you are preparing for automotive design roles or want to upgrade your BIW skills, this course will help you build practical and job-oriented knowledge.
In addition to modelling techniques, this course also focuses on design intent, manufacturability, and real-world BIW standards followed in the automotive industry. You will understand how to approach a door design systematically, considering structural strength, assembly requirements, and production feasibility. Each step is explained clearly so that you not only learn the commands in CATIA V5 but also understand the engineering logic behind the design decisions. By completing this project, you will gain confidence to handle similar BIW components such as hood, fender, and tailgate designs in future automotive projects.
