1. ME 495 EV Team 3: Adapter Plate Brett Joseph, John Jolly ME 495 EV: Electric Pontiac Fiero Project

2. Connects motor to transmission case, aligning motor shaft to flywheel and clutch Provides structural support for motor coupling system Adapter Plate

3. Cleaned transmission Recorded rough transmission dimensions Initiated Solidworks generation Performed design calculations Performed finite element analysis Initiated report composition Previously on Adaptation

4. Finite Element Analysis

6. Adapter plate thickness depends on collar length Price is directly proportional to plate thickness Complex geometry or multiple parts might be necessary to stay under budget The design cannot be complete without final collar specifications and accurate transmission dimensions Set Backs

7. Solidworks Assembly

8. Obtain accurate transmission dimensions Update Solidworks model Consider complex plate geometries Complete conceptual design of adapter plate Acquire material for manufacture Next Week
