Objectives: To simulate and analyse the suspension system of formula-1 car under dynamic condition by using solid works, hyper mesh and Adams software tools. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The method followed for modelling of front and rear suspension in Solid works by considering the vehicle components allowances and constraints, by decision matrix finalized the material for suspension components. The thickness and outer dimensions are reduced for the weight reduction, for the better performance in acceleration. By using Finite element analysis with Hyper mesh software and fined the deformations and stresses. Finally, simulation is performed in ADAMS to visualize working model. Findings: Deformations and stresses were found by using Finite element analysis with Hyper mesh software. Simulation is performed in ADAMS to visualize working model.Application/Improvements: Effective suspension system for formula-1 car. Through FEA reduced the material.

Methods/Statistical Analysis: The method followed for modelling of front and rear suspension in Solid works by considering the vehicle components allowances and constraints, by decision matrix finalized the material for suspension components. The thickness and outer dimensions are reduced for the weight reduction, for the better performance in acceleration. By using Finite element analysis with Hyper mesh software and fined the deformations and stresses. Finally, simulation is performed in ADAMS to visualize working model. Findings: Deformations and stresses were found by using Finite element analysis with Hyper mesh software. Simulation is performed in ADAMS to visualize working model.Application/Improvements: Effective suspension system for formula-1 car. Through FEA reduced the material.
