Design of Motorcycle Swing Arm with Generative Design

Abstract

Now-a-days high speed racing bikes can attain speeds of 300kmph; hence, there is a need to lesser dragforce at the rear end of bike. Drag force can be reduced if the weight of rear components of bike gets reduced. Thus,weightoptimizationshouldbetakenatmostcareindesignwithpropertestresults.Inthisdesignadifferentmethodhas been chosen for optimization of swing arm that is generative design. This indicates the need of weightoptimization and design to be made with utmost care. In this design a different method has been chosen foroptimization of swing arm that is generative design. This method quickly generates high-performing designalternatives and with generative design, there are multiple design results with great solutions.
