156B Week 7

Week 7 Accomplishments:

Sheet metal parts for the test platform are ready and have been picked up. We ran into complications into ordering and our other necessary parts were ordered later than expected. One last attempt at FEA in ANSYS was attempted.

Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Due by sponsor meeting on Wednesdays.

1. Built and assemble the test rig platform as soon as parts are received. - Everyone

2. Continue development of FEA model in ANSYS if possible - Josue/Jose

Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

In Person (via Microsoft Teams):

1.  Our meeting with our sponsors was cancelled due to no progress on parts recevied for assembly. 

2. There were no questions or concers on either ends either, so the sponsors were in agreement to cancel the meeting.

Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments  (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

In person (via zoom):

1. Good progress overall.

2. Try to assemble a document with questions if possible. Dr. Ghazinejad will try to schedule a meeting with an ANSYS engineer to assist in our development of an FEA model.

Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

• None

Risks and Areas of Concern

1. Our order was delayed due to a delayed response in approval from Dr. Ghazinejad. This was because the email was sent to the wrong email address.

2. Due to this delay, we lost quite a few days in manufacturing. We still plan on being able to test on time.
