Item | Who | Notes |
---|
Chassis | Matt Suski, Adam Marchand | - Optimizations have pushed chassis weight below 70kg (68.8kg), still aiming for 60kg
- Still passing impact simulations very well, so plenty of wiggle room
- Need to revisit rear hinges and how they interface with the aerobody due to geometry changes
- Erratic roofline needs to be verified w.r.t. aerobody mounting locations
- Torsional stiffness test shows good results as well
- Chassis jig design coming along
- Hoop jig is single-solution (i.e. all main hoops can be done on one jig)
- Adjustability might be overkill, look into designing a jig with pre-set sizes for all of our hoops to clear things up for the welders and reduce weld costs
- Want to mount the jig to a moveable surface (i.e. table)
|
Aero | Former user (Deleted) | - Complete solidworks model of the panelized aerobody (rev 1)
- Workflow has now been verified so things should run much more fluidly
- Need to properly define mounting solution and locations
- Speedform to be finalized tomorrow, detailing to follow (overlaps, waterproofing, etc.)
|
Steering, Brakes | Adam Marchand | - Parking brake selected (cable activated)
- Issues with u-joint angles from shaft to steering column - need to locate a proper u-joint or look into double
- Selected a shorter steering column
- Selected a steering wheel
- CAD 90% completed
|
Solidworks Upgrades | Adam Marchand | - Will be rolling out to 2016-2017 or 2017-2018 come end of July
- Adam Marchand to determine the version dependant on the SDC's upgrades
- Will sort out logistics of upgrades closer to the date
