Projeto e modelagem de um protótipo de veículo elétrico : mecânica e elétrica

Abstract

This paper discusses the design and complete 3D modeling of a small electric vehicle prototype. Initially, research was conducted on existing prototype models, seeking to understand the components and construction characteristics of these vehicles. Inspired by the BAJA SAE BRASIL and FÓRMULA SAE BRASIL vehicles, the premises and requirements for the model development were established. Calculations and simulations were performed to ensure the expected performance of the vehicle, as well as sizing some parts and equipment. Using a 2D and 3D CAD softwares, the mechanical and electrical modeling was carried out in order to facilitate the project visualization, bringing it closer to reality. This work aims to contribute to the understanding and application of modeling principles and proper design in this context of developing a small-scale electric vehicle prototype.
