Being a student in 5th year in the French engineering school SupMéca, I carried out a 6 months internship in the BMW Group Research and Innovation Center (Forschungs und Innovationszentrum: FIZ) in Munich. I was integrated into the department "Chassis Study" of the section "Dynamic Development". My work consisted of modeling, simulating and optimizing a new concept of chassis for the Sports Activity Vehicle X3:
• To take an active share of this project team
• To do the mechanical studies of the rear wheel axle unit,
• To carry out the parts under CATIA V5 and manage the life cycle of my product thanks to VPM V4, PSN, and PRISMA.
• Construction had to be parameterized and flexible to fit the kinematics optimizations. It had to answer the various constraints of the project: dynamics, functionality, mechanical resistance, machining, cost...
• To optimize the architecture and its dynamics.
At the end of August, the project was well established, and it was planned to have a successful conclusion in 2006.
