The objective of this work was to develop a new design of a high performance intake manifold through a combination of CAD and FEM. First a FEA model was done, which included a complete thermal and structural analysis of the new intake manifold and the contact area between the aluminum coupling, using the combined tools of CATIA, ANSYS WORKBENCH, MATHCAD. Then several composite prototypes were made where analyzed.
