 Material :- Isotropic : Steel

 Thickness : 2 mm (to all the members)
 Total force on front suspension mounts: 2,500 N (+Z Axis)
 Constraints : Rear Suspension mounting points

 Output : Total deformation, Von Misses Stress

Important Notes:

• Feel free to assume any parameter/input not given in the problem statement. Please refer to the
respective video to understand which inputs are required for which analysis.
• Use engineering handbooks or Google to find out material properties (if not given).
For example, if material is given as Titanium but no values are given then use google to find those
values as they are very commonly available on the internet.
• Constraints should be applied as per the inputs or real life working conditions.
Please refer to actual working of the component/structure/assembly to understand which
constraints to define at which location.
Prepare a Power Point presentation for all the problem statements exactly in the order given below:

• Your name, email id, contact number, college/company name

• Problem Statement 1
1. Screenshot of final geometry
2. Screenshot of final Mesh
3. Screenshot of loading & boundary conditions
4. Screenshot of all results (as requested in the problem statement)
• Problem Statement 2
• Repeat Steps 1-4.
• Repeat the process for all problem statements.

Please save all HM files for verifications.

Note: 1. Follow the above order of screenshots and format strictly.

2. All the screenshots should cover the entire screen including time in bottom right status bar.
3. Do not forget to save the HM file for future verifications.

Once the PowerPoint presentation is complete, then save the PowerPoint Presentation in PDF format and send the
PDF via mail to [email protected].
