Reply to "Pantera Front Cut"

Most of the items I have made for my Pantera I have designed on Solidworks.
Such as the rollbar, suspension arms, font nose module, remote thermostat, 930 CV upgrade, Taper roller bearing rear upright upgrade, wheel rims etc.
If the part was structural I have conducted FEA on the part, (Finite element analysis).
Such as the nose & suspension arms & wheels.
To a certain extent there is a bit of educated guesswork involved to determine how much stress the part actually sees in the real world.
But if nothing else the program shows where the main stress areas are, the weak points.
And that means you have a better idea of where strength or stiffness is required.
It's a good tool to aid in design & removes the hit & miss approach.

Tony.
