Car #185
Info
This is our first electric car, thus the aim of the project has been creating a solid, scalable baseline for future years. We decided to take two years to begin the electric project, spending the first year mainly to develop the most critical and time consuming parts like motor prototypes, inverter software/hardware, matlab vehicle models, preliminar CFD analysis and development of composite material prediction models. The second year we focused on the specific car design and manufacturing.
Engineering Design Priorities:
Baseline for future Scalable powetrain MATLAB models Composites FEM Analysis CFD
