Topology Optimization Design of Pure Electric Unitized Body

Abstract:

According to the model devised by the design team of PACE Future Bus and the layout size of pure electric coaches in the market, we used CATIA to make a 3D model and made Topology optimization design by using HyperWorks. After that, we imposed loading according to specific conditions and made structural topology optimization and sized optimization design. Then we checked the coach skeleton beam element model and the strength of shell element model. Finally, the future bus frame was built completely.
