COMPUTER-AIDED ENGINEERING CATEGORY

Conceptual gun mount structure to support a 155mm howitzer cannon. This gun mount would sit in a self-propelled howitzer vehicle (the cannon itself and the Turret base with elevating cylinders are also depicted). Cut-outs are used to show hidden parts of the structure. The design was optimized using Pro/Engineer for the solid geometry and RASNA's mechanics for structural analysis to minimize size and weight.

Hardware used: Iris 4D35

Software used: ProEngineer, RASNA
