Torsion Testing Team Member Update

Since last meeting, we have further discussed our goals and obtained a better understanding of what is expected of each team member.  My team contacted Kriti Kalwad, a former member of the Superway project, and received torsion track test files and information.  The files are in .wbpj format, but we do not yet have the skills required for working with the data.  Currently, we are still scheduling time to set up and take an ANSYS course.  A few people have requested they see our progress with the tests within the next month or so, and we let them know of our current status.

This week, we expected each group member to research similar top-hanging rail vehicles so we could discuss alterations we could make to the current system.  For now, we will continue brainstorming and focus on learning ANSYS to back our claims with hard evidence.  During the meeting, we discussed the details of the upcoming presentation, as well as our future goals.
