The Brunel Masters Motorsport team finished the first phase of the design for the BMM-04 car, which will compete this July in the Formula Student competition at Silverstone. The team made an amazing effort to complete this tough step, as all the members had to work really hard to get the model done on time.

The CAD model incorporates all the parts with a high detail of accuracy that are ready to be tested by FEA and CFD modules. This preliminary assembly is also very useful in order to check interference among different parts, showing which parts need to be slightly modified to avoid future problems.

The software package used by the team is Solid Works 2007 which is possibly the most used
software among Formula Student teams. This software is also capable of performing FEA, CFD and simulating the motion of some mechanisms of the car, such as suspension or steering. The next milestone for the squad will be to finish the simulations prior to manufacturing, which is scheduled to start in 4 weeks.
