Optimization design and research of college formula racing car frame

The frame is the "skeleton" of the college formula racing car. Its function is to carry the load of the internal system of the entire car and the connection arrangement of the parts. At the same time, it is a component connected to the external suspension system. Its structural strength affects the performance of the vehicle. Therefore, the structural strength and stiffness of the frame must meet the requirements. The frame of the second generation formula car of Beijing Institute of Technology Zhuhai was designed and optimized. Some software was used for structural design and finite element analysis, including CATIA modeling software and ANSYS finite element analysis.
