Abstract

This paper made a study on automobile modeling design by taking two factors, aerodynamics and family characteristic, from many considerations, with an example of BMW 3 series. It analyzed the significant roles of these two factors’ influence on automobile modeling, and studied regular pattern of its evolution by taking a successful experience in automobile family characteristic in modeling. This paper is expected to provide assistance and instructions for automobile industry in China.
