RC-Monster Forums - View Single Post - FINALLY, chassis design almost finished...

I haven't been on these forums for over a month now, i am just updating that i have pretty well finished designing my chassis (chassis brace).

Serum, I have Alibre Design Professional, and one of the add-on programs is ALGOR design check. It's a static, linear material stress model simulation, and if i am reading the results properly; at 360Newtons(800 lbs) of force on the upper-front mounting point, this thing doesn't even budge. You can visually see where the forces are transferred and everything.

Anyways, people here that know anything about the energies, and forces involved with an RC crash (e-maxx size); i need to know the absolute minimum amount of force that a chassis should be able withstand (ultimate strength-wise). I think i should be able to shell sections on it after all.

Here is a pic.. sorry for crappy size
