Sprint_Race_Car_Chassis_Analysis

A parametric model of the sprint race car's chassis constructed in SOLIDWORKS. The model is defined with a total of 20 design parameters and static torsional analysis are performed. See the figures provided.

Perform the following steps for torsional analysis:

1. Open SLDPRT file and select any design from the Design Tree
2. Go to Simulation -> Study Advisor and create New Study
3. Select Static Type Analysis
4. To define boundary conditions; right click on Fixtures and select Fixed Geometry
5. Select endpoints of the chassis and fix them in all directions (see figures)
6. To apply forces; right click on External Loads and select Force
7. Define forces of same magnitude and opposite direction (see figures)
8. Finally, create the mesh and run the analysis
