S200: After constraining all degrees of freedom of the local body-in-white section, establish corresponding temporary coordinate systems for the connecting mechanism parts on the wiper motor side and the non-motor side, and adopt different loading methods based on different temporary coordinate systems; S300: Obtain the angular displacement of the loading position of the connecting mechanism parts on the wiper motor side and the non-motor side respectively, compare the angular displacement with the preset target value, and output the judgment result of whether the rigidity of the front wiper system mounting part meets the standard.

[0026] In this embodiment, a finite element model of the partial body-in-white and the wiper system corresponding to the front wiper system mounting area is constructed. When simplifying the modeling of the wiper system, the wiper system mounting bracket and the connecting mechanism parts on the wiper motor side and the non-motor side are retained. After constraining all degrees of freedom of the partial body-in-white section, corresponding temporary coordinate systems are established for the connecting mechanism parts on the wiper motor side and the non-motor side respectively. Based on each temporary coordinate system, torque is applied to the connecting mechanism parts on the wiper motor side and the non-motor side using differentiated loading methods. The angular displacement of the connecting mechanism parts on the wiper motor side and the non-motor side at the loading position is obtained respectively. The angular displacement is compared with the preset target value, and the judgment result of whether the stiffness of the front wiper system mounting part meets the standard is output.
