Configuration and Packaging of Powertrain

[smithbeuvic]

Context

Packaging design is needed for space constraints on frame.

Objectives

• Optimize space efficiency of engine bay
• Minimize COM height
• Minimize polar moment about z

  Constraints

• Rules
• Design must fit in engine bay ;)
• Must allow mounting of engine and motor to come dirctly from the frame, triangulation of tubing should be possible.

  Related Issues

  Chassis design finilization will require the final COM.

  Steps to reproduce behavior

• Use 2016 frame model or 2017-2018 frame model.
• Brainstorm and test fit configurations for the motor, engine and differential. Brainstorm ides for mounting the components.
• Include the exhaust in your model and make allowance for cooling system tubing, fuel line, and air filter.
• Search the web and other resources for alternatives and ideas.

IDEA 1

The motor in front of the engine with 2 seperate chains. Offset differential. Would resize drive shafts to match diff offset.
