2023 Chassis and Suspension Architecture
Summer/Fall 2022
I own the design for our 2023 vehicle’s suspension package as well as the tubular spaceframe design.
The frame iteration process contained a number of packaging and torsional stiffness studies. I completed these in Solidworks and ANSYS Mechanical.
2023 Suspension design included tire data processing and selection, hardpoint selection, spring rate selection and damper tuning
I also own the spaceframe jig design for this year’s vehicle. 2023 marked a change to laser cut jigs for our team which sped up assembly a great deal and got our frame welded to completion 3 months earlier than years previous.
