Impact Attenuator Nose Cone Designing for Formula Student Racecar (by Zsombor Sápi, TU Budapest)


The topic of my project was designing a carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer impact attenuator nosecone for a Formula Student racecar.
I used HyperMesh for my work as pre-processor, including cleaning up the geometry, meshing the surface and checking the quality of the mesh. HyperCrash was also used as pre-processor for setting up the simulation, while RADIOSS was the solver. I post-processed theresults in HyperView.
