An upright also known as a knuckle but upright is an upgraded form of the knuckle. Upright offormula student car is generally subjected to various mechanical loads. Upright isthe part that isconnected with suspension arms, and wheel hub, and is attached to the suspension components. Thehub brake caliper mounting and also the steering tie rod (for front upright) in the FSAE vehicle. Allthe loads that are acting on the wheels are transmitted to the knuckle/ Upright and then they aredirectly transmitted tothe chassis through A-arms. Our paper aims on analyzing the upright as well asthe design of theupright by reducing weight with maintaining therequired strength and stiffness. Themodel is designed by using CREO software for suspensionmounting points and Meshing and Ansyssoftware is used for analysis. The methodology consists of generating good quality mesh and applyingforces and moments for different types of load occurring on the upright and analyzing their effect onthe upright.
