SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the design of differential mounting for an open differential (chain driven) in the SAE-INDIA supra-car project. Key considerations include understanding the forces acting on the differential and its mounting within a box-type frame. Participants emphasize the importance of using CAD drawing programs and FEA software, such as ANSYS, for effective design and analysis. The forum encourages users to conduct their own research and create initial designs rather than seeking direct assistance with project completion.
