Abstract
The vehicle structure of the SAE Formula is a subsystem from the general design developed for the car, which involves other subsystems. Typically, teams use a tubular metal frame in the designs. This work aims to compare two structures developed over the years in Fênix Racing Formula SAE Team, focusing on the static simulations developed in the project, to ensure a reliable structure and to be able to withstand the loads coming from the driving conditions, as well as car and pilot safety. Thus, the advances in the three years will be discussed, explaining the cause of the changes made, directly linked to the improvement of the structural performance of the prototype.
