Abstrakt: Vehicle weight reduction leads to less fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions. In this study, the component that is considered for weight loss is the Front Lower Control Arm (FLCA) on the Suzuki Carry. Topology optimization is a method used to reduce the weight of vehicle components. Topology optimization is a method tofind the ideal distribution of material within a predefined design space for a given set of loading and boundary conditions. This research uses computer simulation with ANSYS software to test the structural strength and topology optimization process. FLCA geometry modeling is done using 3D Scanning in order to get an accurate geometry. The value of the FLCA design mass after optimization is 4,075 or a decrease in mass of 0.779 kg (16.04%).
