So I have been playing with the idea of adding a couple more tubes to the back of the Anklebiter. If you were to replace the back half of a 914 with tubes where would you put them? Here is a rendering of the original cage (red), drivetrain (Grey), and points that need to be tied in (green).
What would you do? Attached image(s) |

I'm not too good with this kind of stuff, but as far as solid works goes they have a nice set of tutorials on youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/solidworks... I believe they explicitly cover frame design in the tutorials. The FSAE team I'm on uses NX for frame design, I'm not sure what is used to analyze it though....
As I said I'm not very good at this, but squares are bad, triangles are good. These two seem to jump out at me. Sorry, but I can't give you much better advice. I haven't really been involved in that aspect of our car's design... |
