Finite Element Analysis
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a computational technique used to solve complex engineering problems by breaking down structures into smaller, simpler parts called finite elements.
MUR Motorsports uses FEA to conduct strength analysis of components to determine if our designs meet safety and performance requirements. Two primary software programs are used for FEA: Fusion 360 and Ansys Mechanical.
Members across aerodynamics, ergonomics, chassis, powertrain and vehicle dynamics benefit from having this technical skill.

Formula SAE Chassis Analysis (1hr)
The chassis is a major part in any automotive design since it is the structural backbone of various functional systems attached to it and responsible for carrying loads of different components. Analyzing a chassis in Ansys Mechanical helps to test different configurations to make it as stiff as possible with minimum manufacturing cost. In this course, FEA analysis of a chassis (frame) is carried out by considering various loads like torsional, twisting, aerodynamic and front impact.
