DESCRIPTION
202 - FSAE Car Design Using Solid Edge Michael Nunnelly and David Paulk, Auburn University Graduates, Auburn University For several years, Auburn University has used Solid Edge in the Mechanical Engineering curriculum and as the software of choice for FSAE car designs. This technical session presentation will present an overview of the FSAE project and a step-by-step guide to assembling an automotive sub-system using Solid Edge Assembly Relationships. Highlights include how to edit a part in the existing assembly, as well as how to create parts in assemblies. How the FSAE team approached common troubleshooting and failed relationship fixing will also be covered. Attendees interested in the application of Solid Edge as it relates to automotive design in a time-sensitive environment will benefit from this session. The student presenters will demonstrate with some of their FSAE car parts.
