To provide an idea of the topics for the Saturday evening presentation, here are some of the items we are considering:
1) Beams and Trusses - You can now perform beam element FEA analysis on Space Frames using Cosmos
2) Optimization - choose dimensions in SolidWorks and Cosmos will optimize for minimum mass while not exceeding stress or stiffness criteria
3)Modeling highlights in external aerodynamics, Fluid-structure Interaction, Impact testing, and Rubber behavior.

We look forward to everyone joining us for a chance to discuss these topics as well as any other SolidWorks or Cosmos areas of interest.

Hi Mike,

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. I am out of twon doing some testing with limited email and phone access. Robert Wynn from PE was going to contact you. Hopefully he got a hold of you.

Good Luck.

I would like to say thank you to UTA for putting on this awesome event, as well as lending us an ECU when ours went kuput. It was an awesome event and I look forward to attending in the future.

Agreed, it was a blast! Thanks to UTA and Dr. Woods for putting it all together.

Can't wait till Nationals when SRT-07 will lay the smack down.

Definately, I know Wichita State had a blast and would also like to thank Dr. Bob and UTA as well.

Official results?? If there is such a thing??

I should have done this a week ago but I just wanted to thank all the guys at UTA for the effort put into Texas Autocross Weekend. Everyone from the SD team had a great time- even if it was one heck of a drive. Also thanks for access to your shop, tools, and equipment- without your help we wouldn't have gotten near as much racing in!

The Texas Autocross Weekend was a great event this year with 25 cars and 90 drivers. Thanks to all of the sponsors and supporters that made it possible. Thank those of you who have posted kind words about the event.

UTA, Texas A&M, KU, and UT Austin were battling for the faster times on Saturday with other schools turning in really fast times as well.
