    摘要: A method of assembling a body of a rail vehicle includes steps of: creating a numerical model of at least one specific module; dimensioning in the numerical model, the position of fixing holes in the specific module, the dimensioning of each fixing hole being defined at least with respect to one edge of the specific module extending in a direction of greater length of the specific module and with respect to an axis transverse to the longer direction; supplying the specific module; drilling the fixing holes in the specific module by a drilling device at the position listed in the numerical model; and assembling the body, the assembly including attaching the specific module to at least one adjacent module utilizing a fixing unit inserted into the fixing holes drilled in the specific module.

    摘要: Disclosed is a railway vehicle body, the body including at least one floor module, at least one wall module and at least one roof module, the modules being connected to one another by rivets. The rivets include lower rivets connecting each wall module to the floor module, the lower rivets including at least one group of stiffening rivets including at least three stiffening rivets that are all arranged along a curve formed in a plane perpendicular to a transverse direction of the body, and having a first end with a first tangent and a second end with a second tangent, the first and second tangents forming an angle between them smaller than or equal to 90°.
