 ABSTRACT
Trims are the plastic parts installed on the inside and outside of a car. The interior trims
are usually used for giving the aesthetic look to the interior of the car. There are various
types of trims used in automobiles.

Functionality and aesthetically pleasing trim applications are crucial factors for a
perfect interior experience and successful vehicle sales. The selection, design, and
processing of plastics solutions for interior trim components are very important for
consumers when making their purchase decisions.

Trim applications require a variety of essential plastic material properties such as

Protects the occupant from sharp edges and hard points of the sheet metal and
underlying components.

In this project, we are looking in for the Strength study on Automotive various hard
trim dog house based on the plastic material.

In this work, the stress distribution of the dog house on hard trims is calculated using
the software Ansa. First, the methodology that was followed is described, detailing the
formulation of the problem, the procedures used for calculation and the post-processing.
Then, the results of the calculated loads, von Mises stress and total deformation
distributions are shown. Finally, conclusions are presented.
