The frame is the frame of a heavy truck, which holds the engine, cab, transmission,
steering, and loads. In the process of vehicle running, it not only bears the mass load of fixed parts,
but also bears the impact, torsion, bending and braking loads caused by rough road surface and
various complicated working conditions. The lack of frame stiffness and strength may cause serious
problems such as the distortion and cracking of crossbeam and longitudinal beam, the decrease of
frame reliability, the distortion of cab and the cracking of front windshield. In this paper, the solid
model of the frame is built by CATIA, and the frame model is simplified by HyperWorks, the grid is
divided, the stress concentration area is laid out and the boundary condition is simulated. According
to the actual operating conditions of the vehicle, the stiffness and strength are analyzed, through the
application of high-strength steel, high-strength ductile iron and aluminum alloy materials, its
rigidity and strength can be guaranteed, at the same time, the weight can be reduced by 30% , and the
transportation efficiency can be improved, lower transport costs, the frame has been place on the market in small quantities.
