Developing an algorithm to calculate vehicle trunk volume

In this thesis study, an algorithm was developed in order to calculate the trunk volumes of vehicles according to international standards. The algorithm was coded inside the CAD model and applied on the example models. Standard blocks are arranged orthogonally inside a given outer and inner surfaces of trunk volume according to ISO 3832 and DIN 70020 standards using developed algorithm. The maximum number of blocks is set as trunk volume. Therefore, there will be significant gains in terms of time and cost in the new vehicle design process. In the current situation, the manual and time-consuming tests in the physical environment can be performed in the CAD environment in the vehicle design process in a shorter time.
