Analysis of a Front Integration Frame

The purpose of this article is to provide a methodology in analyzing the Front Integration Frame (FIF). Since this structure is a key component to closing out the Body in White, one needs to analyze this structure as a singular and integral part of the front body structure. A Design Verification and Report is a common methodology used to prove out a design before marketing. The more computer simulations that are adopted, in the analysis of the FIF before prototyping, the less revisions will be needed due to design failure.
