ItemWhoNotes
ChassisMatt Suski
  • New simulations with 1.25" dia tube, 0.035" wall passing. Safety factors much more reasonable (Min FS=2)
  • Want to add gussets to aid with rollover simulations to strengthen critical nodes in rollover
  • New torsion spec is around 30% lower (3600) than the previous simulations with 0.049" wall
  • New weight specification close to 55kg
  • Wanting to step up wall thickness in high-stress areas to increase safety factors in critical areas
  • Will do sequential cleanups of the model to ensure geometry is good to go to VR3
  • Kickoff for approval to VR3 on Sunday night, will pull parts from model once approved
AerobodyFormer user (Deleted)
  • Models out to FormaShape for review - hoping to call them early this week for a design review, as well as a rough cost
  • Array spacing fits nicely with current Aerobody spacing
  • Mounting features coming along - still bouncing ideas around but heading in the right direction
  • Matt Suski and Former user (Deleted) to plan out mounting points in the future
Doors/MountingDevon Copeland
  • Some interferences in the top level assembly that need to be cleaned up before chassis kickoff to VR3
  • Want to weld a plate into the triangle below the top clevises to support the coilover at a more desirable angle
    • FEA tbc to verify new angle doesn't create a total garbage load path
  • Adding one more lower shaft support to the steering assembly
  • Devon Copelandto address the "snake pit" (Steering/pedal area) this week before VR3 kickoff
