Summary
Australian Universities including Deakin University are entering the Formula One SAE car competition this year which was initialised in USA many years ago and has attracted many universities to participate all over the world. There are many categories to be competed for novelty of the design. To achieve optimised design of the car, computational techniques have widely been used in all aspects of the design and manufacturing of the car for the team at Deakin University. In this work, the design and manufacturing of the chassis was computationally simulated to optimise the structure for stress and natural frequencies. The chassis is designed using solid modelling code IDEAS with the geometry exported to ABAQUS, a FEM software, for optimisation.
