Lightweight Design of Driveline Flange 

Conducted lightweight design of driveline flange based the CAE analysis, decreasing the weight of the flange by 45%. 

• Simplified driveline mechanisms by analyzing loading and boundary conditions, then established CAD models and CAE mesh work in HyperMesh

• Analyzed the worst loading condition on flange, simulated this case in ABAQUS to evaluate the stress distributions

• Cut down materials on low stress area, remodeled flange in UG NX and calculated the mass reduction

• Verified new design in structural durability performance by checking the stress level in ABAQUS
