Updates/Blockers

Please update me on the progress you’ve made the past week. Do you have any blockers? YOU MOVE OUT OF THE WAY

Workday Review

• Unsprung ran sims on axle diameters, tried out SKF Sim Quick Pro for bearing and trailing arm geometry began development

• Suspension researched adams kinematics software, Kayla worked on refining her sketch to find non-hdpts defined values, trailing arm geometry began development

• Steering worked on bump steer research + created a 3D sketch for Ackermann because I had anti for some reason + found the C factor of the old steering rack on the car + found issues with steering placement relative to the bounding box that we have + found a steering geometry that should work for new gen

• Aerodynamics:

  • Matthew taught ppl ansys, 1 person was able to fully run a sim over the course of workday

• Composites:

  • Battery box layup, worked on resin infusion research and test fixtures for composite panels

• drivers sized → driver model can be finalized this week

• first frame iteration finished → simming to begin

• initial composite research finished → sandwich panel design and mount design next

• steering wheel designs (daybreak and nextgen started)

• critical hardware back in car and harnessed

• mock cooling intake to send to regs

Next Workday Plan - please break tasks down into sub-tasks

• Sim all the CADs that have been made throughout the week for Unsprung

• Steering will create CAD for the bumpsteer effects that they have been researching throughout the week

• Suspension begin simming the control arms and pushrods. Finialize HDPTs

• Composites

  • Battery box, first frame panel test subject, maybe machining test fixtures (not sure on this yet, depends on materials), design molds for wire cutter

• Aerodynamics

  • Everyone have a sim done of the parts that they have made by next workday

  • Getting into the flow of make variation, sim variation

  • its really just CAD the shell until January 18th, so it may be repetitive, any tips on how to fix that?

• start simulating frame → get initial data for first iteration

• create initial design ideas for frame jig

• continue working on steering wheel designs

• finish up daybreak pedal box changes (test pedal jig, finish design)

• start work on next gen seat

• manufacture mock module

• characterize a few battery cells and bin

• have all battery box panel cutouts finished and dxfs created for waterjet

  • only layups will be a blocker then

Daybreak Progress?

• Created a preliminary design (CAD model) of the radial tubular intermediate steering shaft constraint

• no shell rn so nothing, may just do prep over thanksgiving break?

  • idk yet tho

• Ideas are there for canopy hinge and shell to shell, need to cook

nah

• made intake mock before finalizing to get checked by steve and dan

• car can drive theoretically

  • need to pump tires
