this week, according to our Gantt chart, we are supposed to finish our CAD design. The reality is we still have a lot to do just on CAD design. Servel new ideas are brought up. But consider the complexity of the structures, these designs are denied. This is the current version we have. and new stress analysis of this structure is modeled.

In these two weeks, I have focused on doing the FEA on the whole structure. Currently, I have a general analysis of the whole structure. I did two analyses, one is taking consideration of future weight will be applied on the bogie. The other one is the steering part. In the future, the part will experience a side moment provided by the guide rail.  The above pictures are the result we have. It has shown few parts that we need to change in the future. once the complete CAD design is finished, I should be able to get more results from the FEA test.
