Let us go throughan example
to see how CARScan be used to solve a
typical automotiveproblem....
Make the UltraLight lighter...Make the UltraLight lighter...
Problem: Reduce the mass of the front rail and maintain axial capacity.
Drive through the CARS 2005 model to make required design changes, meet structural requirements, and still reduce mass.
CARS Solution:
The front rail and its connection to the body have a great influence on
load transfer. A new UltraLight front rail was
created to improve the load transfer by distributing the load
along three paths.The front rail is joined directly to
the rocker. The dash cross member transfers
loads cross-car. The front rail extension carries some of the load directly to the
front floor cross member.

First we pick a material from the CARS material database to be used as the default material for all further analyses.
Use GAS to compute the
nominal properties of
the hat section.
The mass of the hat section (Area * length *mass density) is computed to be 1.16 kg, using t = 1.55 mm
Also compute the effective properties of
the hat section...
The effective properties under axial load are
calculated using the material properties from MAP.
These nominal and effective properties will be transferred to the CARS design procedures.
Use a CARS 2005 design procedure to calculate the axial capacity of the front rail.Use a CARS 2005 design procedure to calculate the axial capacity of the front rail.

SummarySummary
HAT Section:
HEXAGONAL Section:
Thickness: 1.55 mm
Axial Capacity: 151,800 N
Mass: 1.16 kg
Thickness: 1.3 mm
Axial Capacity: 154,200 N
Mass: 1.07 kg
We find that the hexagonal section can effectively replace the hat section.
We have achieved a mass reduction of 8% and maintained the axial
capacity by following the CARS design procedures.
