N2 - Driver safety is the main concern in any motorsport event, and evaluating the fatalities, it was observed that most of the fatalities were due to head on collision. SAE Baja competition expects the student teams to build an ATV vehicle from scratch, pertaining to the rules specified by the governing bodies. The work focuses on the safety of vehicle at the student level. The model of the roll cage was prepared according to the rule book in SOLIDWORKS 2016. The calculations necessary for the forces to be applied on the roll cage include basic mechanical formulae like bending moment, force calculations, and mass-energy conversions. The model was analyzed for two materials, namely AISI 4130 and AISI 1018 using static structural in the ANSYS Workbench. The main parameters considered for analysis were mesh sizes, mesh type, and the order of element, and various iterations were made considering these parameters. The model was further optimized for weight reduction. The simulation results were compared with analytical results, and a convergence graph was obtained to justify the design.
