ANSYS Tutorials & Projects for BAJA-SAE

When it comes to anlyze your vehicle structure, ANSYS is the best option for students because you find lots of Tutorials and ANSYS official site itself provides a good bunch of stuffs for students community . There are regular workshop and Seminars organised by ANSYS which you can find from ANSYS  Training Schedule. The worldwide Events calendar is available online at Click here .
For proper analysis of your vehicle you need to conduct structural analysis of your cage for side, roll, front, rear & torsional impacts.
The primary aim in your analysis should be to reduce weight of the vehicle and to test for failure.The un-sprung weight, rotating mass and roll cage are primary weight reduction areas and you should try to reduce the weight of your car to 300 kg with higher stiffness of the roll cage to help your car achieve the highest acceleration while maintaining a sufficient factor of safety. The driver comfort and sturdiness of the vehicle is considered of primary importance.
For weight reduction of the cage, You can test a number of cage types having different pipe thicknesses in ANSYS Mechanical with various types of impacts and then evaluated the maximum stress. The final cage is selected by considering the resulting stresses & applying a suitable factor of safety.

Some basics and how it works in conventional CAD

1. Reverse engineer from scanned photo tracings. Sometimes, I wanted to reverse engineer a part where I didn’t need precise measurements for most of its geometry. Remodeling from a photo, along with calipers when I needed more resolution, has proven to be a very efficient approach. One particularly compelling trick is to put flanges and other flat interfaces directly on the glass of the office scanner. Sketching over those images easily achieves similar resolution to most 3D printers. Years ago, I modeled most of the castings on this ‘78 Beetle Transmission in SpaceClaim by tracing carefully taken photographs and scans of its flanges. 2. 3D sketch on top of images. The next step is to try actual 3D sketching on top of images. Below are some examples I did by 3D sketching on MC Escher lithographs using a technique substantially similar to the basic approach used in the video. 3D models from photos  Now let’s take a look on how to to accomplish this basic tric...
