Coachmen Recreational Vehicle Co. recently introduced its Sportscoach model motorhome, a contemporary, affordable vehicle with an aerodynamic design and more features and ergonomic considerations than any other Coachmen product. One innovation in the new Sportscoach is a plastic-molded, automotive-style dashboard that replaces the outdated, vinyl dashboards of older motorhomes. Coachmen used Algor's linear-static stress-analysis software to optimize the geometry of new dashboard's steel support structure after subjecting it to a static load with a computer. The finite element analysis software shortened the length of the design cycle in time to introduce the Sportscoach at the Recreational Vehicle Association tradeshow.
