3D design of electric light truck’s frame using FEM

Abstract

This article presents the theoretical basis and simulation calculations
for the design of electric vehicle frame with a load of less than 500kg.
The research was carried out using the Finite Element Method (FEM)
and using the ANSYS Workbench specialized software. Through the
obtained results, a 3D drawing of the electric vehicle frame was
established to provide data for the problems and the FEM software.
The following analyses were carried out: structure analysis based on
the element types, the element properties and the number of nodes
when meshing; the analyses of types of load applied to the structure;
analysis, evaluation and selection of structural engineering solutions
according to the durability criteria of the electric vehicle frame. The
research results will help users choose the appropriate structure in
frame designing.
