Two real workdays left before Thanksgiving Break
Concern about part-level design and progress thus far to thanksgiving break
PDR is Jan 18, the first Saturday after we return from winter break
We only have a limited amount of time until the break, it’s come to the point where we will probably have to do work over the break
Naming convention is a real concern right now the longer we wait to fix it the harder it will be to fix. Leads and sub leads must take initiative on this
Advait Joshi needs to clutch up on Statics
System updates:
Unsprung, in talks with calipers, bearings need to be set, haven’t looked too far into sensors. Might not have caliper selection determined by this week, still needs validation in order to make a selection. Preliminary design of hub+ spindle design by the end of this week. Projected date of selection is to have it done by the end of Thanksgiving break.
Steering ackerman geometry and sterring linkage hasn’t been selected. Steering geometry update: they have a position but they need to test it for bump steer, needs to validate with better values, needs to utilize/refine Jacob’s code. Came up with an issue with where the rack bounding box will be placed relative to ergo and front axle
Roll cage needs to be finalized by end of week (11/16)
PDR - CADs need to be made, general geometry is made,critical mounting points need to be fixed (belly pan tabs, etc)
Ergo next-gen pedal box design needs to start
Shell to frame may need to have by PDR
Shell to shell interface may also need to have by PDR
Geometry issues with the shell with simming the current shell
Workday Review
Dynamics
Manas and Johnnathen on trailing arm geometry
Steering 3D sketch of geometry
Concern with location of steering rack and ergo bounding box
hash out a plan for FEA
Aerodynamics
Teaching Ansys
Simming approach
goal is for everyone to have a sim done on the parts they have
Composites: battery box layups
composite test fixtures and resin infusion
Body
Driver model can be finizaled
frame first iteration done
how to integrate the composite sandwich panels and tubes together
Good work on the steering designs for next-gen and daybreak
Body
test setups need to be setup with current frame iteration
comtune work with sgeering wheel design
design and testing o pedal jig
starting work on nect=gen seat utlizing data from ergo jig
