Blockers/Conflicts | Do you have any blockers or conflicts that are preventing you from making forward progress/completing certain tasks OR making things more difficult than they should be? | |||
🚪 🛑 🔒🚫 🚧 🕰️ 👩 | can we make roll cage smaller 🥺 - TBD ask Josh Ansys whitelists? - over winter break | nah. (yay yippee woooooooo hooo!!!!!!!!) | ||

Winter Break Plans | Unsprung:
Suspension:
Steering:
| Aerodynamics We (will) have a finalized shell, and break will just be making edits. We could send out the shell now and be done, any edits we make now are for optimization Composites Mold prep testing - Foam and prep materials are ordered so when they arrive i’m I’m gonna test application and processing methods. Goal is to have a clear methodology by end of break so that we are ready for when molds arrive Resin infusion - Initial resin infusion tests, set up; flow distance, just figuring out process. Hopefully we’ll be able to use it for flat panels/small components (maybe if we wanna remake daybreak canopy? idk yet tho) HV Distributuion Distribution enclosure manufacturing - Up to when Ajay can come to austinAustin, we’re gonna figure something out Composite frame - Manufacture test pieces for aluminum honeycomb and nomexNomex; test process of application for secondary bonding, finalize shear test fixture (hopefully manufacture that too but thats that's not something i can do) Start learning simming of composites through ansys Ansys mechanical → personal goal for winter break is to have a 4 ply composite face sheet simmed, will add core if I have time Acetone vapor smoothing - Figure it out, may have to remake enclosure for smoothing bc current emech one has leakage issues Composite Pushrods - Buckling calcs, starting with metal so that we can understand how buckling works, and then trying to figure out how buckling for composite tubes works, ansys sim maybe (i found combustions doc on how to do these so we could try doing that) Misc - Re- Resand sand and refinish the metal sheet; sand another one too just bc we need the work surface for future (Assuming its not too cold to wet sand loll) I think im forgetting something else but honestly cant remember rn | Sim tweak validate, sim tweak validate, etc.
Experiment with composite structural simming Complete Daybreak pedal box Have all Next Gen ergo parts exist in CAD (i.e. have a 1st iteration essentially finished) Start PDR slides | HV Distributuion Distribution enclosure manufacturing - honestly up to advait if he has time and wants to do it DB dashboard, mppts, mounting for moco. DB Batt pcbs panel waterjet completed |

Questions people have | Want to get a list of everything that goes outside of frame so we know what to avoid when aeroshelling | |||
What do you need from me this week? | Slides template |
Notes:
Ansys whitelist → members added over winter break ideally
Roll cage → driver shoulders too large possibly? TBD → need to talk to Josh about it
Dynamics
Using gear box for steering because of placement (might not be able to do u joints)
Steering placement is still in front of steering wheel, behind suspension
Talk to bill and brian about what “full contact” for brakes means
Body
Look over next-gen steering wheel → make sure its viable to manufacture
Emech
Wanted to try something for MPPT → need to restart those
Ask question about regs for cooling system
EPlan finalized?
Need to figure out what is close to frame so that shell to frame can be close but also not cause interference
✅ Action items
- Review static hardpoint sketch Gerard Cardenas Philip Bortolotti
- Send question about brakes to Bill and Brian Gerard Cardenas
- Get a slides template for PDR Gerard Cardenas
- Create When2Meet for mechanical meetings over break
- Talk about components that are external to the frame for Aeroshell consideration - during leads
