The Body Control Module regulates the operation and coordination between the different parts of the car also by using signals of some sort. The various electronic parts of the vehicle are actually controlled by a Body Control Module – from the car light to the simple door locks; each part has a module that controls it. In today’s automotive setups, these modules are operating under a single assembly – they are now controlled by the Body Control Module. It may seem like the module performs a very complex function. Hence this Body Control Module has been protected from the damage during handling and vehicle running condition. This Body Control Module is subjected to various loading conditions such as vibration loading, Impact loading, mechanical shock. One of the case studies is doing to modify the existing Body Control Module. These modifications are carried out by using Computer Aided Engineering approach and verified by the experimental results. The software being used for the simulation is ANSYS and Ls-DYNA/explicit method.
