In the present work, the numerical analysis of the structure of a prototype of a SAE BAJA type automobile chassis is developed. Within the proposal of the model, factors that become important when implementing it are considered, these factors are: driver safety, sufficient spaces for vehicle components, among other basic points. Likewise, the model is subjected to different tests established by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), tests such as: Front impact, rear impact, side impact, overturn, landing tests for front jump and rear jump; the conditions to which these tests are subjected are extracted from articles (tests) and applied in the appropriate areas to have the most accurate and close to reality results. The analysis is carried out with different materials and profiles used for structural members, in this way the appropriate configuration of the profiles and materials is also obtained. Due to the satisfactory parameters obtained, a fairly efficient model is obtained, this has an impact on the necessary safety for the driver, basically, because the system has low deformations in the materials and withstands relatively high stresses.
