Rancang Bangun Chasis Electric Buggy Car berbasis Solidworks 2016

Abstract

The development of electric vehicles is increasingly rapid as an alternative environmentally friendly transportation. One of the important components in electric vehicles is the chassis, which functions as the main frame supporting the entire vehicle system. In this final project, the design and fabrication of a chassis model for an electric buggy car vehicle was carried out using SolidWorks 2016 software. The methods used include collecting design requirements data, determining frame dimensions based on ergonomics and load requirements, and 3D and 2D chassis modeling using the main features in SolidWorks such as part drawing, assembly, and 2D drawing. The chassis design is designed according to the materials needed in making the chassis such as square hollow steel and pipe type hollow steel, by considering the precision aspect in the fabrication process through the welding method. The results of this final project are the final design of the electric buggy car chassis in 3D and 2D formats that are ready to be used for the fabrication process, with the final result obtained from the design process involving 12 component parts combined through the assembly process. The SMAW welding method is used for the real product fabrication process, and after the design drawings resulting from the assembly, a 2D drawing process is carried out as a basis for size. It is hoped that the results of this design can be a reference in the development of simple electric vehicles with a strong and efficient structure.
