Abstract

The paper presents a conceptual design of side-pot body panel for UTEM formula style race car. The development process involved two major stages; conceptual design and structural analysis. In first stage, a side-pot body panel design was selected and a 3D model of a side-pot body panel was developed using CATIA V5R16 computer aided design software. Further analysis of a material selection has brought the selection of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) as the side-pot body panel material. The 3D of a side-pot model will be applied in detailed structural analysis using finite element analysis; MSC Patran Nastran 2005. In the later stage was the fabrication of side-pot body panel using wet-lay up process. Thus the discussion and conclusion is made. The recommendation is suggested to make an improvement in future study.
