Abstract
The automotive industry's efforts to create vehicles that can harness and retain energy lost during braking are shown by the development of regenerative brakes. Thus, the possibility to stimulate the behaviour and performance of the regenerative braking system of an electric vehicle through ANSYS was tested. In this study the design of electric vehicle (EV) braking system with friction and regenerative braking using SolidWorks. Using ANSYS, we compare the braking performance of conventional vehicles and EVs, focusing on structural integrity, thermal performance, and durability. The findings offer insights into the efficiency and reliability of EV braking systems compared to traditional systems. SolidWorks and ANSYS are the two computer-aided design programmes utilised for design, simulation, and analysis, respectively. The brake disc will be imported into ANSYS for additional processing once it is completely built. The computed value is produced and is to be utilised for simulation using all of the derived formulas and beginning assumptions. The results shown that electric vehicles exhibit lower heat generated during braking with minimum value of 12.22% from conventional braking system. It also shows that the total deformation of brake disc is lower than conventional braking system with percentage of 1.69% and 1.83% respectively. Conclusively, the comparative study between conventional and EV braking systems able be examined where it shows that the EV braking produced lesser damage in term of thermal and structural compared to conventional braking. This conclusion had been made after the system modelling and analysis had been made through SolidWorks and ANSYS respectively.
