Progress from November 11th to November 25th, 2023 The team has made significant progress in completing Milestone 2. The team arrived at a finalized design for the front and rear uprights after many iterations using FEA and Topology Optimization. After creating a design that met all of the weight saving and performance goals, the team imported the design into the master assembly of the FSAE car to make sure fitment with all of the other suspension components, shown in Figures 1 and 2 below. Finally, creating a bill of materials is the last step for the team to complete milestone 2. Figure 1: Front upright integration side view. Figure 2: Front upright integration isometric view. Final Design and its Features The final design of the front uprights incorporates several key features to address the main issues related to suspension geometry and handling. The dimensions of the uprights have been meticulously crafted to achieve optimal suspension geometry parameters, thereby enhancing ove
