Aerodynamics is a crucial issue in the design of a high-speed vehicle.

It is useful and “safer” to simulate in advance the Aerodynamics at different race scenarios

NumericalNumerical AnalysesAnalyses
For achieving a complete and reliable numerical simulation we shouldconsider the impact of the aerodynamic forces on the mechanicalbehaviour of the vehicleIn practice, carry out the coupled numerical solution with CFD tool(CFX) and Multi-Body tool (Adams) using a three-dimensional model.

Conclusive Conclusive remarksremarks
• modeFRONTIER managed a real-life multi-disciplinary optimization problem in a easy-to-use environment. CATIA, ICEM, CFX, ADAMS have been integrated in a process integration framework.
• The design chain worked successfully achieving virtually 2 seconds reduction of the lap time.
• Each the Process Integration issue and the Design Optimization problem have been reliably solved
