Vehicle Tire Modelling in ELEMENTS

WEBINAR ON DEMAND In this webinar, we will provide a practical introduction to the different tire models available in ELEMENTS and provide a walk through of how to setup simulations with these different models. Tire treads, rims, and the rotational motion of wheels have a tremendous influence on vehicle aerodynamic performance, both on the road […]

Accurate Wheel Modelling With Generalized Moving Reference Frame (GRF)

WEBINAR ON DEMAND This webinar will discuss a new Generalized Moving Reference Frame (GRF) technology and how it compares to several of these traditional approaches and experimental data. Wheels have a large influence on vehicle aerodynamic performance. As a result, the ability to accurately predict wheel and tire physics is extremely important when engineers and […]

Simulating the “Porpoising” Phenomenon Using HELYX

Amongst the most significant changes that the 2022 FIA regulations brought to Formula 1 are those directly related to the aerodynamic design of the car. With attention focused on the revolutionary 3D-contoured underfloor, the teams now heavily rely on its efficient design to produce the majority of the car’s total downforce. This new tunnel-style underfloor, […]
