The invention provides a finite
element analysis method for formula racing car frames, belongs to the technical field of
computer aided engineering, and aims at solving the problem that existing racing car frame optimization and analysis are bad in
correctness and long in design period. The finite
element analysis method comprises the following steps of: A, constructing a three-dimensional model and carrying out meshing to convert the three-dimensional model into a finite
element model; B, applying boundary conditions according to each working condition, carrying out finite
element analysis and calculation on frame bending rigidity under each working condition, and comparing the analysis result with material bending strength to carry out structure optimization; C, respectively applying forced displacement in opposite directions on two sides of the car frame, carrying out finite element analysis and calculation to obtain
torsional rigidity of the car frame, and carrying out structure optimization according to the analysis result; and D, analyzing and comparing whether a
fixed frequency of each order
modal of the car frame is different from an external main excitation frequency or not, and carrying out structure optimization according to the result. According to the method, the
correctness of optimization and analysis is improved, the expenditure is decreased and the design period is shortened.
