Abstract

As with all industrially manufactured goods, it is generally necessary to ensure costumer requirements are met. Therefore, it is important to ensure that functional as well as optical specifications of a product are fulfilled for large quantities in series production.
The following piece of work demonstrates the effect that the elasticity of an assembly has on specific functional criteria in order to meet the aim of a robust design. For this purpose an automotive door assembly is examined, where tightness is one of the most relevant attributes from the customer’s perspective. In the present case, the effect of the elastic sealing system on the development of the limiting positions of the observed assembly that result from a corresponding tolerance analysis will be examined in greater detail which, in turn, has an impact on tightness. The term ‘limiting position’ generally describes the largest deviation from the nominal dimension that can occur with a high level of statistical probability.
To that end, a simulation-based integrated process is introduced that covers CAT as well as FEM methods and in this way respects the elasticity of the system with its corresponding deformation.
