Nowadays, there is a great demand for technical solutions, which is the main reason why individual components have to be designed for limited weight, size minimization, accuracy and cost reduction. Weight reduction, utilizing less expensive materials, increasing the strength, etc. have always been desired in designing different mechanical structures. This factor is also related to car body design. The trend is to create them from a variety of composite materials, where great emphasis must be placed on choosing the material as well as correctly determining the type of load and boundary conditions. As a result, many optimization theories are used for composite materials. The basic factor is the failure theory based on failure criteria. Based on these trends, we can see a great progress in the car body design, which also helps to increase the overall performance of vehicles. In this paper strength-based criteria are used in FEA to predict failure events in composite formula nose. Finite element software Altair HyperWorks was used in present study.
