A new project!

            Something very exciting has happened quite recently, because I have just started on a new research project! This time, I will be working on performing stress analysis using ANSYS. I will be building off of Bengt Gustaffson's response to the Kalwad report to implement . The steps and deadlines for the project go as follows: By 11/05/16: Learn ANSYS. By 11/26/16: Get Model of guideway uploaded to ANSYS and take in to account Bengt's suggestions. By 12/17/16 Obtain Peak stress, max von mises stress, realistic podcar loads, torsion, and bending stresses. I will also have to write up a final report that includes a title page, table of contents, table of figures and tables, introduction / background to why this work is important for the Spartan Superway, state myspecific project (ANSYS Analysis), what Ifound, results, and conclusion.

I have already mastered the basics of ansys, and am now going through the tutorials.
