Abstract This paper is focused in importance of simulation in designing approach. The static test are created in this paper. The designed frame has been investigated in a variety of altered circumstances to predict that whether the frame will endure during and after the impact or fail in crash or hitting condition or in working condition. The outcomes from these simulated result show that the frame should indeed be safe sufficient in the range of worst case of crash or hitting situations.

INTRODUCTION

Go-kart is just a type of open-wheel car .It comes in all shapes size and customs. From motorless models to high-powered racing machines, some like Superkarts are being able to beat racing cars or motorcycles on long circuits. Karting is commonly perceived as the stepping stone to the larger ranks of motorsports .Karts may differ usually in speed or power and some (known as Superkarts) can reach speeds exceeding 260 kilometers per hour (160 mph), while recreational go-karts governed or meant for everyone might be limited to lower speeds. The frame of a vehicle providing safety and seating arrangement of driver and including other sub-systems of the vehicle. We have designed a such frame good in the terms the safety and aesthetics. This paper is focused on various impact conditions like  Front Impact  Rear Impact  Side Impact, Theses there cases are the worst case and have maximum impact energy created during impact. II. ABBREVIATIONS Finite element analysis (FEA), Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES), (AISI) the American Iron and Steel Institute. III. ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY Once cad modeling of the frame structure is done by using solid works, then this design is checked by Finite Element Analysis method. We have used ANSYS (workbench) software for FEA RESULT. We have first import the solid works file model in ANSYS (work bench by) IGES Model format, then specified the properties of material, define the cross-section of tube created component, then create 3D meshing, and them applied load and constrained. The final analysis is shown in ANSYS. We have to minimum deformation and stresses and target to minimum weight of chassis the flow chat of entire process is shown in fig 1.
