Abstract:
A vehicle surface simulation apparatus for mapping a nozzles spray pattern of a water leak tester configured to spray water onto an exterior of a vehicle. A jig of the apparatus can be configured to simulate a plurality of exterior surface portions of two different vehicles. The jig can include at least a first area configured to represent at least a portion of a side-view profile of the first vehicle and the second vehicle, and at least a second area configured to represent at least a portion of a front-view profile of the first vehicle and at least a portion of a rear-view profile of the second vehicle. The funnel can be supported in one of the areas such that a funnel inlet lies in a plane that represents a predetermined surface of the vehicle. The conduit can be in fluid communication with the funnel and the container.
