The FEM analysis of a unibody bicycle frame involves solving a system of equations derived from the discretized mesh using numerical methods. These equations capture the frame's response to applied loads and boundary conditions, enabling a detailed understanding of its structural behavior.
The analysis generates key results, including distributions of displacement, stress, and strain, which are vital for assessing the frame's performance. These insights help pinpoint potential weak points and inform design improvements to enhance durability and efficiency.
Finer meshes and complex geometries significantly increase computational demands, requiring more processing power and memory. Nevertheless, this approach provides precise and reliable information about the frame’s behavior under realistic cycling conditions, ensuring informed and effective design optimization.
