Abstract
The frame of a Formula Racing car is the core component connecting the arm and chassis frames, and it accounts for a relatively large proportion of the overall vehicle mass. In order to reduce the overall weight of the racing car and realize the lightweight innovative design of the frame, this paper utilizes the Fusion360 generative design tool to carry out the lightweight design of the frame structure of the Formula Racing car, and finally uses the ANSYS software to carry out finite element analysis on the generated frame model to verify the generative design of the frame structure to satisfy the mechanical properties at the same time, the quality is reduced by 18.7%, and the maximum deformation is reduced by 4.4%. The results show that the generative design can reduce the mass by 18.7% and the maximum deformation by 4.4% while meeting the mechanical properties. The results show that the generative design can realize the lightweight innovative design of the frame.
