ATV is an off-roading vehicle and one of its essential parts is its roll cage on which all parts are mounted. The roll cage not only protects the passenger inside the vehicle it also acts as a structural defense for the vehicle. Now because of the above-mentioned properties, the roll cage is required to be structurally robust and it should tolerate high Von mises stresses and should have the least possible deformation during a crash while protecting the motorist inside the vehicle. Hence due to these high concerns of the roll cage, it is necessary to undergo simulation of the design to detect points that are vulnerable to stresses and high deformation. High Impact forces are applied on the roll cage in analysis to achieve real world actions of the chassis, which in fact helped us in developing a design that have mandatory safety standards and adequate potency to withstand these loading.
