- the inventors considered that there is a problem in that both of these methods optimize factors that affect both weight balance and stiffness balance, which affect vibration characteristics.
- the inventors therefore came up with a method of using optimization of stiffness balance in sensitivity analysis, instead of the sensitivity analysis methods disclosed in Patent Documents 3 and 4. Specifically, as a method of performing sensitivity analysis of vehicle body parts with respect to the vibration performance of the vehicle body parts, they came up with a method of performing optimization calculations by minimizing the effect of weight balance as a physical property value and using a virtual element that only has the effect of stiffness balance as a sensitivity determination element.
- the inventors also investigated an analytical method for selecting body parts with a structure that increases rigidity through sensitivity analysis of rigidity balance, in order to improve the vibration-damping properties of target areas for noise and vibration reduction without degrading other vehicle performance and without increasing weight.
- the present invention was made based on the above findings, and its specific configuration is as described below.
- the automobile body designing device designs an automobile body in which the body parts constituting the automobile body are modified to have a structure that increases the rigidity, thereby improving the vibration damping performance of the parts of the automobile body that are the target of vibration noise reduction.

- the sensitivity analysis unit 21 performs sensitivity analysis to determine the sensitivity of vehicle body parts in the automobile body 100 that can be modified to have a structure that increases rigidity, to vibration characteristics used to evaluate the vibration damping properties of the target areas for vibration and noise reduction.
- the sensitivity analysis unit 21 has a sensitivity analysis vehicle body model generation unit 23, a sensitivity determination element material property setting unit 25, a sensitivity analysis condition setting unit 27, and a sensitivity analysis unit 29.
- the sensitivity analysis vehicle body model generation unit 23 places sensitivity judgment elements in a two-dimensional space along the surface of a vehicle body part that can be modified to have a structure that increases rigidity, and connects the placed sensitivity judgment elements to the vehicle body part to generate a sensitivity analysis vehicle body model.
- the sensitivity determination elements can be arranged, for example, by dividing the two-dimensional space along the surface of the vehicle body part into elements using shell elements.
- connection between the sensitivity determination element arranged along the surface of the body part and the body part may be, for example, by connecting the nodes of the sensitivity determination element and the nodes of the body part with elements (rigid body elements, elastic body elements, or elasto-plastic body elements) (rigid joints or elastic joints).
- the sensitivity determination element and the body part may be connected by sharing nodes of the sensitivity determination element and the body part.
- the sensitivity determination element material property setting unit 25 sets the elastic coefficient and density as material properties of the sensitivity determination element in the sensitivity analysis vehicle body model.
- the elastic coefficient is set to a value equivalent to the metal material used in the vehicle body part in which the sensitivity determination element is arranged, and the density is set to a value small enough not to affect the vibration properties of the vibration noise reduction target portion in the sensitivity analysis vehicle body model.
- the purpose of the sensitivity analysis by the sensitivity analysis unit 21 is to obtain the sensitivity to the local stiffness of the vehicle body part. Therefore, the elastic coefficient set in the sensitivity determination element is not limited to the value of the elastic coefficient of a steel sheet itself.
- the density set for the sensitivity determination element must be a value that does not affect the weight of the shell element, which is the sensitivity determination element, and the vibration characteristics of the target area for vibration and noise reduction. For this reason, it is advisable to set the density value of the sensitivity determination element to 0.
- the density value of the sensitivity determination element is not limited to 0, and can be any value that does not affect the vibration characteristics of the target area for vibration and noise reduction.
- the plate thickness of the sensitivity determination element should be approximately the same as the portion of the vehicle body part where the sensitivity determination element is placed in an overlapping manner.
- the sensitivity analysis condition setting unit 27 sets vibration input conditions, an objective function, and constraint conditions as sensitivity analysis conditions.
- the vibration input conditions are conditions related to the vibrations given to the sensitivity analysis vehicle body model in the sensitivity analysis.
- the vibration input conditions can be set as amplitude (magnitude of vibration), frequency, and the part that gives vibration to the sensitivity analysis vehicle body model, and can be set appropriately assuming, for example, the vibration (road noise) input to the automobile body 100 via the tires when the automobile is driving.
- the part that gives vibration can be, for example, the connection part between the subframe 101 and the lower arm (not shown) in the sensitivity analysis vehicle body model (the part indicated by the ⁇ mark in Figure 2).
- the objective function is a condition that is set according to the vibration characteristics of the target part for vibration and noise reduction, and the vibration characteristics used to evaluate the vibration damping properties of the target part for vibration and noise reduction can be vibration intensity.
- the vibration intensity can be the frequency response value of either the acceleration, inertance, or equivalent radiation power in a specified frequency band of the target part for vibration and noise reduction.
- Inertance is a vibration characteristic expressed as the ratio of the force input to an object to the acceleration generated by it, and is also called the vibrational transfer function.
- Equivalent radiated power is an index that simply expresses the level of sound emitted by a vibrating structure, and is a vibration characteristic expressed based on the idea that the perpendicular component of the vibration velocity of a structure gives energy to the acoustic space.
- the objective function may be a function whose variables are acceleration, inertance, or equivalent radiation power in a specified frequency band of the target part for vibration noise reduction.
- An example of a function whose variables are acceleration, inertance, or equivalent radiation power is a function that gives the average or maximum value of acceleration, etc., at multiple positions in a body part (e.g., a panel part, etc.) that is the target for improving vibration damping.
- the portion of the target portion for vibration noise reduction for which vibration characteristics are evaluated may be set appropriately according to the operator's instructions. For example, if a panel component is the target portion for vibration noise reduction, the portion for which vibration characteristics are evaluated may be the entire surface of the panel component, or a specified portion of the panel component.
- the constraint condition is a constraint on the sensitivity judgment elements in the sensitivity analysis vehicle body model.
- a constraint condition on the sensitivity judgment elements for example, when topology optimization is applied to the sensitivity analysis by the sensitivity analysis unit 29 described below, a constraint can be set that the sensitivity judgment elements remaining after the optimization process are equal to or less than a predetermined volume ratio.
- the volume ratio of the sensitivity judgment elements may be the ratio of the volume occupied by the sensitivity judgment elements remaining after the optimization process of the topology optimization to the volume of the design space set for placing the sensitivity judgment elements.
- the sensitivity analysis section 29 performs sensitivity analysis under the sensitivity analysis conditions set by the sensitivity analysis condition setting section 27, and obtains the sensitivity of the sensitivity determination element with respect to the vibration characteristics of the target portion for vibration and noise reduction.
- topology optimization can be applied to the sensitivity analysis by the sensitivity analysis unit 29.
- the virtual material density of the sensitivity judgment element (virtual density representing the filling state of the material in each shell element) is used as the design variable.
- sensitivity judgment elements that contribute greatly to the vibration characteristics remain with a material density value close to 1, indicating high sensitivity to the vibration characteristics.
- sensitivity judgment elements that contribute little to the vibration characteristics are eliminated with a material density value close to 0, indicating low sensitivity to the vibration characteristics.
- the sensitivity analysis unit 29 can determine the material density calculated for each sensitivity judgment element as the sensitivity to the vibration characteristics.
- the high-rigidity structure determination unit 31 determines a structure that increases the rigidity of the vehicle body part based on the sensitivity of the vehicle body part determined by sensitivity analysis.
- the high-rigidity structure determination unit 31 can determine a structure that increases the rigidity of a vehicle body part by determining the positions of sensitivity determination elements with high sensitivity, determined by the sensitivity analysis unit 29, as areas to be changed to a structure that increases rigidity.

- the dimensions of the concave-convex shape can be set appropriately by the operator.
- a structure in which the concave-convex shape of the part corresponding to the high sensitivity determination element determined for the body part is changed to the concave-convex shape of the part directly, through sensitivity analysis by the sensitivity analysis unit 29, can be determined as the structure that increases the rigidity of the body part.

- conditions related to the uneven shape (bead) to be imparted to the highly sensitive body part are set.
- conditions related to the uneven shape include the minimum width, maximum width, bead angle, and maximum bead height of the bead. These conditions related to the uneven shape can be set appropriately by the operator depending on interference with other body parts existing around the body part to which the bead is to be imparted, and the requirements of the automobile body.
- an objective function, constraint conditions, and vibration input conditions are set as optimization analysis conditions.
- the objective function and vibration input conditions should be set to the same vibration input conditions and objective function as the sensitivity analysis conditions set by the sensitivity analysis condition setting unit 27.
- constraint conditions should be set to constraints related to the uneven shape (for example, minimum and maximum bead widths, bead angles, maximum bead heights, etc.).
- the area where uneven shapes (beads) are imparted to the surface of highly sensitive body parts through topography optimization is preferably set to the areas where the surface of the body part is flat or nearly so.
- the unevenness of the beads with various inclinations imparted to the die after press molding can cause a problem where the die cannot be removed.
- beads are formed on the mating surface (flange portion) with other parts, gaps can occur, making joining difficult and reducing the joining strength.
- vibration noise occurs on flat or nearly flat parts of parts, it is possible to accurately prevent vibration noise by setting the area where uneven shapes (beads) are imparted to the surface of the body part where the surface is flat or nearly so, avoiding the areas where the above problems are likely to occur when beads are added.
