- Abstract
This study aims to model and analyze the design structure of the Tram car body using the finite element method. The help of software will compute a calculation to display a visual form of an estimate of the actual condition of a tram mover design. The simulation was carried out based on 5 cases of loading by the Regulation of the Minister of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia No. 175 of 2015, which regulates the load that was applied according to car body testing and standardization. The output of this research was the maximum vertical deflection, von-misses stress, and the value of the safety factor. This simulation found that the maximum stress occurred at the end center sill of 148.16 MPa due to compression loading and the maximum vertical deflection value of 4.4058 mm on the roof due to vertical full load loading overall safety factor value from this Tram car body simulation wa 1.6536. This value was still considered safe because it was still below the allowable stress required by standardization, which is 75% of 245 MPa (SS400 material permit stress) or 183.75 MPa.
