Abstract

Among of motorsports events, the Formula Varsity organize by University Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) is the most popular motorsports for higher education institutions. Formula Varsity was held once for two years. The main objective of this project is to design and develop a Electric Formula Varsity Race Car that consist of several components such as driver's cockpit, the strength and lightweight for the new design of control arm, the nose cone, and knuckle racing electric ear with high performance and reliability for the upcoming Formula Varsity race. Methods used for this project in accordance with the engineering design process and engineering software. The result of this project, a driver cockpit will be developing. At the end of this project, a new better cockpit and can satisfy the driver when use it will be develop and will be used for the next series of Formula Varsity race. The aspect of handling performance cannot be missed. Fabricating new design of control arm will need an initial view of the detail design. CATIA is 3D CAD modelling that help to create and develop a new design of control arm. With this software, the embodiment design for detail drawing can be done early and help us to proceed to fabricating process based on the clear dimensions to be measure on the element of fabricate. To check the effect of camber angle and other suspension geometry aspect for this project analysis, Adams/View providing a Real-time analysis for kinematics and dynamics analysis. The final fabrication will be test in real world to check the reliability and quality of the control arm. Development consisting on designing, analyzing and fabricating the nose cone section. The design must be tested for its aerodynamic in virtual and real world analysis using Ansyst-FLUENT software that been add-on into CATIA V5R20 designing software. The 3D model also will be generated to a scale. The best design will be mounted onto the Electric Racing Car for Formula Varsity 2012 event.
