The document provides details on hood design for a vehicle. It discusses designing the outer panel with a hem, developing the inner panel and necessary reinforcements. It also covers positioning the hinge and striker, providing mastic data between panels, and including embossing to properly distribute forces. The goal is to design the hood for better grip, visualization, strength and safety during opening and closing.

Objective:
● Design Outer Panel with the Hem
● Develop the Inner Panel
● Develop all the Necessary Reinforcements
● Mirror and position the Hinge & Striker
● Provide Mastic Data
● Provide the required Emboss definition
● Develop a detailed Report for the Mastic position and
Embossed you have placed

Positioning the Hinge & Striker
Positioning of hinge and striker such that there is perfect tangent
relation of latch and trajectory of hood movement if it does not
satisfy this condition there is problem occurs during engagement
of the hood with engine compartment, then we have to adjus
