Study of Different Parameters on the Chassis Space Frame For the Sports Car by Using Fea

Abstract

The concept of Finite Element Analysis of a chassis space frame has been highlighted in this project. The topic has constrained the study of the chassis space frame. Complex assemblies are to be avoided, for sports car. The model of the chassis space frame is built using CATIA V5 and then imported to ANSYS CLASSIC 11.0 to find its finite element module. To perform a torsion and Bending Test on the computational prototype chassis to determine its torsional stiffness. To incorporate a design improvement study and note the effects on the global torsional stiffness of the chassis. The stress ,strength and degrees of freedom of the chassis will be investigated. The body shape is fixed and therefore the overall external shape of the chassis must not be altered. The engine bay must remain as open as possible to allow a variety of engines to be fitted.
