Abstract
A system for designing vehicle chassis carriers comprises a user interface that receives vehicle parameter data. The user interface may be implemented using a spreadsheet or other data entry application as are known in the art. A user enters the vehicle parameter data such as vehicle dimensions and geometry. A design program such as a CAD program receives the vehicle parameter data and generates a vehicle chassis carrier design according to the vehicle parameter data and design constraints. The design constraints include weights, structural strength, and clearance information with respect to the carrier, the vehicle chassis, and obstructions in the environment.
