Any suggestions on how to run a pothole FEA for a Chassis?
Hi @simonvinothmartin,
In general, a vehicle is simulated driving the pothole event using MotionSolve, a multibody dynamics application, to calculate the loads that the chassis would experience from this transient event. A load case is then developed and that load case is then applied to the chassis-only in a FEA environment like HyperMesh to complete a structural analysis.
If you are new to either application, please make sure to check out our eLearning to easily take one this automotive workflow here:
