CR21 primary firewall panel.
Superseded by the main hoop and seat firewall arrangement.
No part-specific design process is documented. The Frame subsystem design process applies: 1. Kinematics supplies the pickup points and an LLTD range; the intersection of the frame-stiffness curve with that range sets the torsional stiffness target (CR26E: 1651 lb-ft/deg design target, from an LLTD target of 41.6% within a 39.5-42.5% range). 2. Model in SolidWorks 1D beam element FEA: couple moment across the front axle, rear upright points fixed, actuation geometry as trusses, representative engine tubes, displacement measured at the front upper pickup points. 0.5 in mesh spacing after a convergence study. 3. Physically test on the torsional stiffness jig: solid dampers installed, rear spindles fixed, front spindles on a pivot beam, weights hung at known distance. Historical FEA error 2.94% (CR22), 10.23% (CR25), 19.60% (CR26E). 4. Analyse each suspension tab for bearing stress and bending at its critical load case. 5. Weld in CNC-milled 6061 jigs with dowel pins; heat treat suspension nodes; FARO the finished frame.
