Front Frame Analysis – Cost Reduction
Project Scope
- Perform detailed G-load and rim-pull load analysis under various operational conditions:
- Drum movement with tires grounded (forward & reverse) Tire movement with drum grounded (forward & reverse)
- Front bumper grounded with drum/tire motion
- Rear bumper grounded with drum/tire motion
- Evaluate steering force impacts
ARi’s Solutions
- Developed simulation models for all relevant assemblies and parts
- Applied fixed constraints to drum support plates, axle mounts, bumpers, and rear frame
- Simulated force and moment load across 7 defined load cases
- Delivered validated FEA results to client, enabling design refinement (Total Hours: 300)
ARi’s Value Proposition
- Ensured front frame life and structural integrity under critical load conditions
- Reduced bumper thickness from 10 mm to 8 mm, achieving direct cost savings
- Enabled confident design decisions based on accurate simulation data
- Contributed to overall product weight and material optimization
