ABSTRACT: The finite element model of body-in-white was built in ANSYS. The torsion stiffness was
analyzed using the finite element method. The results were compared to the test results, which proved the
reliability of the finite element model. The adhesives were applied to the car body instead of welds; the torsion
stiffness has been studied using the finite element method, the results showed that the body’s torsion stiffness
was improved, and the longer ...
