Each BAJA team dedicates special efforts in optimizing a chassis/roll cage to understand its strength and area for weight reduction. So, we have created a set of video tutorials help them get started with suspension design using various ANSYS products. 

Aim is to make sure that chassis have enough strength to withstand all possible impact loads. Here are the set of chassis design tutorials guiding on step by step process in ANSYS Mechanical
