This week was like many other prior weeks this week focused on communicating with other teams and improving our design. This week we have received the dimensions and CAD files from the guideway team. This allows us to flush out the height of the bogies. Adjusting the hight of the bogies affects the route selection system. Since we are changing the design of the drive bogie from a 4 wheel drive system to a 2 wheel drive system as well as the dimensions of the drive bogie itself, this affects the motor team. We have checked in with them and luckily the changes made to the bogie is not going to affect the motor team.

This week we have also have been using Ansys to look at the deformation of the drive bogie. I have been running into issues since the student version of Ansys is limited by the files it is able to accept as well as the mesh profiles it is able to generate. I have just found that the student version of Ansys is extremely limited, this is why that I will try and go to school and use the full version.
