1. INTRODUCTION
Computer-aided drafting (CAD) is the use of computer
systems to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or
optimization of a design. Computer-aided engineering
(CAE) is the broad usage of computer software to aid in
engineering analysis tasks.
Firstly, we selected the type of steering, suspension
and transmission system to be used and according to
that made the design. The seatback angle was kept
such that it is most ergonomic. Considering the safety
of driver, the sitting space, ground clearance and height
of driver was kept in accordance with the rulebook.
3D CAD design was made in Solidworks 2015 SP0 x64
edition. Meshing and analysis of frame for front, side
and roll over impact was performed in Altair Hyperworks
13.0 (64 bit) edition. The other CAE analysis such as
fairing supports and seatback member supports was
performed in Ansys Workbench 15.0.

c) Analysis Results:
A safety factor of 2.08 was obtained which shows that
the side protection members can hold up to 2000N of
impact force on them directed upon them.
c) Analysis Result :
A safety factor of 1.03 was obtained on application of 600
N of force (200 N on each of three faces) which shows
that overhead support member can bear a total force of
600 N impacted upon it.
