1

1. Create updated chassis model that is accurate to in-person chassis

2. Run vehicle collision simulations to determine if there is a large difference in result when compared to using the ideal CAD chassis

2

1. Review current vehicle collision setup and justify sims setup to increase accuracy

2. Troubleshoot and resolve any issues that prevent intended setup from solving

3

1. Apply reinforcement solution to chassis model

2. Run vehicle collision simulations to determine if solution will pass yield strength with SF of 2

3. Troubleshoot and resolve any issues that prevent intended setup from solving

Note: Current solution being investigated is an iterative approach that applies tubes to high stress areas.

4

1. Perform detailed design of reinforcement solution

2. Determine and document implementation approach of reinforcement

3. Account for adjustability to deal with inaccuracies in the Chassis

4. Keep track of costs and masses of implementation method

5

1. Reach out to Mech Advisors about their availability and specialties

2. Arrange detailed review meetings with advisors for project.

6

1. Review FEA setup of sheet metal solution

2. Compare it to previous Chassis sims. (MS12 + MS14 by Jason)

3. Try to insert current sheet metal model into old simulation files

4. Do another iteration of sheet metal solution, but use a single sheet metal that is very similar to BP (bonded to all tubes), but make it out of steel instead of composites

5. Setup detailed FEA review meeting with Mech Advisors
