Formula Student - Introduction
Formula Student is an annual UK and European university competition where teams design, build and race a single‑seater car at Silverstone, showcasing engineering and manufacturing skill. This introductory video outlines how the series will use SOLIDWORKS CAD and Simulation tools to create and validate a complete rolling chassis, including the tubular frame, suspension and steering systems. It introduces the five‑part structure covering chassis layout, weldment profile creation, static torsional analysis, rigid‑body suspension motion studies and topology optimisation of a key component, demonstrating how integrated virtual development underpins a successful Formula Student design.
