        abstract = {The present market is safety oriented and survival of any products/manufacturer is largely depends on cost, quality and performance of the product. The design work is continuously focused on increasing the safety of overall vehicle without compromising in quality and performance. Under this light, the present work is focused on automotive car door assembly to increase the safety and quality by using NITINOL. The door assembly is an important closure in the automotive system. The door assembly is mainly includes inner panel, outer panel, glass railing supporting bracket, speak mount bracket etc. The strength and stiffness of the door panels are important and it should meet the design requirements. The strength and stiffness of the door panel depends on many factors like design, material, gauge thickness etc. In this work, automotive door is considered for the analysis. The topology optimization will be carried out to improve the performance and to increase the quality of the overall door assembly. For this, the finite element model will be built and analyzed using ANSYS.},
