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.

Good Solid Modeling

Solid modeling is great for visualizing ideas but it's often misapplied in finite-element analysis. One of the latest methods of slashing development time is to use the 3D models that CAD users create as a basis for finite-element analysis. In a perfect world, performing finite-element analysis on these models directly, rather than recreating data for this purpose, lets analysts concentrate more on analysis and less on syntax. Solids appear to be a wise choice as a basis for FEA because FE meshing can sometimes take place directly on CAD geometry without modifications. The literature abounds with examples of engineers doing exactly this. In real life, however, the interface between 3D CAD and FEA is seldom that simple. Solid CAD geometry almost always requires extensive modifications before it is suitable for meshing with finite elements. There also are occasions when solid CAD geometry is completely inappropriate for finite-element models. Successful interfacing requires...
