Finite Element Analysis and Structural Optimization Research of New Energy Vehicle Battery Box

Abstract

Abstract This study takes a new energy vehicle as the research object, establishing a three-dimensional model of the battery box based on CATIA software, importing it into ANSYS finite element software, defines its material properties, conducts grid division, and sets boundary conditions, and then conducts static and modal analysis to obtain the stress and deformation cloud maps of the battery box under three typical operating conditions, as well as the natural frequencies of the first 6 modes. Based on this, the ANSYS software’s topology optimization tool was utilized to successfully reduce the weight of the box by 6.8%. Following finite element analysis, the battery box’s performance satisfies the necessary standards in all aspects, demonstrating the viability of the lightweight solution.
