Abstract

With the growing need to design increasingly efficient and complex systems, engineering studies are increasingly resorting to computer simulation techniques to analyze the performance and behavior of physical systems. These simulations help to reduce the time and cost of developing new projects. The aim of this article was to carry out a free-body modal simulation of the chassis of a Baja SAE off-road mini vehicle, using the finite element method. The study used Solidworks software to generate the 3D model of the chassis and Ansys software to carry out the simulations. At the end of the simulations, it was possible to see that the chassis structure has natural frequencies between 36 and 86 Hertz (Hz) when the structure is free, which are different from the frequencies of the main source of forced vibration in the structure. In this way, it can be concluded that the structure does not enter the resonance phenomenon, meeting the design assumptions.
