FINALLY, chassis design almost finished...

It's cool that you can model stress factor. Don't forget stresses on different axis' - because not all crashes are directly head-on (I'm thinking when the truck does cartwheels).

you bet! I can do any axis force direction you can think of. I have been playing around and when i apply a 4000 (1800Newton) force head on, i only get up to 60N/m^2 of stress on the thing. I don't know about you, but that seems very low. I did, however design it so it quickly distributes the load away.

I will have pics soon of a legit stress simulation.
