What the project is A comparative structural impact study of three lightweight occupant-cell concepts for a small side by side 2 seater urban vehicle: 1. Tubular frame (aluminium) 2. Monocoque frame (preferably carbon or maybe polyurethane like foam filled stuff) 3. Hybrid redesign based on the weaknesses found in 1 and 2 The occupants are side-by-side in every case. The impact speed is 28 mph (45 km/h) in every case. The impact conditions are: • frontal impact • side impact The purpose is to find which concept gives the best occupant protection for a lightweight design.

Hi, Thank you for the project description. I will use ANSYS to run a comparative FEA analysis for the 2 frames. Please share the CAD model for the 2 frames on the chat so that I can import and start setting up. I have a mechanical engineering masters degree and FEA expertise using ANSYS for more than 10 years. Let’s discuss further details on the chat and start right away. Best regards, Saleamlak A.

I can help you with this. three things worth flagging: 1. The isotropic CFRP assumption at E=70 GPa makes the monocoque behave structurally like an aluminium shell — so the tubular-vs-monocoque comparison risks becoming a geometry study rather than a material one. Either model CFRP as orthotropic (proper layup) or keep the isotropic value and flag the limitation explicitly in the findings. I'd recommend the first. 2. Equivalent static load won't capture crash behaviour — buckling sequence, plastic hinges, and energy path all need a dynamic solver. Explicit Dynamics with prescribed velocity is the defensible route, and it needs an effective mass. The brief doesn't define one, and KE = ½mv² depends on it — ~400–500 kg is realistic for this vehicle class. Worth locking in before meshing so all 12 runs stay consistent. 3. Factor of Safety isn't really a meaningful crash metric (it's a static design concept). I'll still report it as requested, but the comparison should lead on intrusion into the occupant zone and specific energy absorption (J/kg) — that's what actually tells you which cell protects the passengers. On screenshots: since you mentioned you may not be able to open the SolidWorks/ANSYS files, I'll document every stage — geometry build, mesh, BCs, contacts, solver settings, results — with reasoning captions for each, plus every graph ANSYS outputs so you can pick what goes in the report. No watermarks.

Hi I am Ready to start working, Each design can vary in weight naturally — mass is one of the output metrics we want to compare. The only fixed constraint is that all three models must share identical outer dimensions and occupant cell envelope. Please report the mass of each structure as part of the results

With my diversified skills in design optimization, mechanical engineering, simulation, and structural engineering, I believe I am the perfect fit for your project. Despite being new to this platform, my vast experience in the field spanning from 3D architecture to designing illustrations has provided me with a unique advantage. Not only well-versed with design software such as AutoCAD, Rhino, Keyshot10; I also have hands-on experience with Abaqus which is renowned for its modeling and simulation skills. This means that I can not only analyze the three frame designs but provide you with real-time insights into their structural impact at 45 km/h during frontal and side collisions. Best Regards Sumit

Hi, I have experience in mechanical engineering, structural analysis, FEA (ANSYS), materials engineering, and impact simulation studies. For this project, I am going to model and compare the three occupant-cell concepts (tubular aluminium frame, monocoque, and hybrid redesign) under frontal and side impact conditions at 45 km/h, using FEA to evaluate energy absorption, deformation patterns, and occupant protection metrics, then propose a refined hybrid solution based on identified weaknesses. I have hands-on experience with structural simulations and lightweight design optimization, so I can deliver a clear, data-driven comparison with technical documentation that supports design decisions and future development. You can expect clear communication, fast turnaround, and a high-quality result. Best regards, Juan
