Abstract. Car cabin front suspension bracket (CCFSB) plays a supporting role of cab which connected cab cabin and chassis parts. In the conventional design, CCFSB is large and heavy usually to ensure its design strength. Therefore, structure optimization design is becoming the focus on the design of CCFSB. To solve the problem, this paper presents a structure optimization design method of CCFSB based on HyperWorks. The “Analysis-OptiStruct-Refine-Analysis-Contrast” method is proposed to realize the structure optimization. By the process of “meshing-loading- calculating- view of results”, the result of structure optimization of CCFSB is got which shows materials distribution. Trough taking OptiStruct optimization, the weight of CCFSB is reduced about 39% but stiffness is increased. The performance of product is improved and the cost is reduced greatly.
