Non-Commercial Solar Wheelchair FEA
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
I have a complete CAD model of a solar-powered wheelchair and now need the finite-element side handled entirely with non-commercial, open-source tools such as OpenFOAM, CalculiX, Code_Aster, or a comparable package. The brief is three-fold:
• Structural integrity – run static and dynamic load-bearing cases reflecting everyday use and the maximum payload I will supply.
• Thermal performance – evaluate heat build-up around the photovoltaic panels and battery housing under standard and extreme weather conditions.
• Aerodynamic efficiency – use CFD capabilities in the same OpenFOAM workflow (or equivalent) to understand drag and identify opportunities to improve range.
I will provide the geometry in STEP and STL formats along with a document outlining operating, extreme-weather, and load scenarios. What I need back is the complete project file(s) ready to rerun, a concise technical report that explains assumptions, boundary conditions, solver settings, and key results, and a short recommendations section.
Accuracy, clear documentation, and repeatability in an open-source environment are my top priorities; no commercial software or libraries can be part of the workflow.
