Reverse design and forward design have their strong points each other. The advantages of reverse design lie in the treatment of free-form complex modeling, while forward design is good in modeling in simpler feature. The car body often contains complex curved surface and some simple features. Through a single reverse or forward design can’t realize the efficient design. In order to combine advantages of reverse and forward design, using the hybrid design process design can improve the efficiency of the development of car body.
