• Through the help of finite analysis and bench marking the upright was able to be designed to maximum strength and minimal weight
• Use FEA analysis to show the maximum deflection of the spindle
• Establish the optimum position of the ball joints

Successes: Through 3D modelling and FEA analysis the design of the upright and spindle was maximised to optimum strength and weight before the manufacture of the development part proceeded. This eliminated the customary trial and error testing of different designs.
