Design, Analysis, and Optimization of Baja SAE Cars

Are you a member of a student team taking part in the Baja SAE competition? The following compilation of training and tutorial videos comprehensively addresses various design aspects of the student Baja Car. Each video provides a step-by-step guide for simulation, complemented by component geometry for hands-on experimentation.

 

 

Overview Quick Overview Videos on how Altair Simulation Software can be used for Baja Cars.
Altair SimSolid for BAJA	Altair Inspire Motion for Baja
Simulation-driven Design with Inspire Tutorials on how to use Inspire for Designing Baja Vehicle components (Static Structural Analyses)* *Note some videos for demonstration use the "faster" setting during analysis, which is more appropriate for getting general results quickly and should not generally be used to base design decisions on.  switching to the SimSolid solver in preferences is the suggested method to increase speed.
Baja Car Frame Analysis	Seat
Steering Rack and Pinion	Steering Wheel
Differential Casing	Primary Pulley
Gear Train Assembly	Secondary Pulley
Simulation-driven Design with SimSolid Tutorials on how to use SimSolid for Designing Baja roll cage and Baja components.
BAJA Car Frame Analysis	Rear Suspension Assembly
H Arm (part of the Rear Suspension)	Collar (part of the Rear Suspension)
Simulation-driven Design with Inspire Tutorials on how to use Inspire for Designing Baja Vehicle components (Topology and Topography Optimization)* *Note some videos for demonstration use the "faster"  setting during analysis, which is more appropriate for getting general results quickly and should not generally be used to base design decisions on.  switching to the SimSolid solver in preferences is the suggested method to increase speed.
Suspension Mounting Optimization	Belly Pan Optimization
Optimization of Engine Rails	Control arm design
Optimization of Brake Disk / Rotor	Bell Crank Optimization
Acceleration Pedal Optimization	Gear Box Casing Optimization
Analysis with HyperWorks Tutorials on how to use HyperWorks for Designing Baja roll cage and Baja Vehicle components.
Front Impact	Side Impact Analysis
Success Stories Read case studies and success stories of how Baja Student Teams have used Altair Software to succeed.
Baja Champions Team Predators Racing Design the Lightest and most Rugged Car with Altair Software	A Competitive Edge with the Altair Hyperwoks Suite™ - Michigan Baja Racing
