    That's true: in engineering classrooms we rarely have this kind of excellent information, and the presentation is excellent, it worth more than hours of mathematics & formulas
    By the way, the newest design tools have a great focus in "topology optimization"... that's why is explained here.
    Thank you very much!

    This is literally the best, most engaging lesson I have ever had; what a space frame is, how it works, and the visualization of how it is applied!

    What a treat to watch a presenter who really knows what a space frame is!
    My two go-to modelling methods are soft soldered brazing rod and hot melt glued drinking straws - they'll quickly show you any missing triangulation.

    Very Nice . I remember most of this from “Chassis Engineering” by Herb Adams”. Especially the use of scale chassis models and levers for chassis deflection. I didn’t notice the use of shear panels in place of tubes for chassis design and triangulation.

    Great video. The process to describe the theory was well thought out and well executed. There was a small technicality in terminology but nothing anyone should hold an individual accountable for in a live presentation. Loved it.

    Every time I watch real demos of what I was studying in class I feel I want to cry. WHY DON'T THEY DO THIS IN CLASS!
    is it that hard to put some pieces of wood and show the demo!
    does it cost an arm and leg to build it. I just don't understand.
    Just glad I live in this time and age

    dLots of off-road vehicles use the ladder type chassis design like land rover and suzuki and the reason an article suggested is that it produces minimum to no flex which is opposite to whats being demonstrated in the video. i am a bit confused. is there something i'm missing here ??

    Doesnt the rear engine mounts and engine block count as a cross member
    In the context of the ladder chassis with limited wheel travel wouldnt the ladder chassis keep the rubber to the road better due to the flexibility hence be an asset over the other box and angled chassis with the same amount of wheel travel

    • @SurajThapa-gv9tx

      chassis should not be made to do the job of a suspension, if that is what you are asking.
