Creating a Bespoke CFD Simulation Template for Koenigsegg
The automotive industry is currently enduring one of its most challenging periods to date. Manufacturers need to develop lighter, cheaper, more efficient vehicles whilst dealing with chip shortages, rising costs and the continued debate around powertrain technologies. This has demanded innovation and in 2020, €58.8 billion was invested in automotive R&D in Europe alone, the […]
Benchmarking CFD for External Aerodynamics
Enzo Ferrari famously said “Aerodynamics are for people that can’t build engines”. But in today’s efficiency driven world, aerodynamics is one of the most important development areas for OEM’s. New regulations demand vehicles to maximise fuel economy and minimise emissions, leading engineers to design aerodynamically efficient cars.
Power in Numbers: Assessing Vehicle Convoy Aerodynamics with CFD Simulation
While the idea of autonomous driving has been around for many decades, recent advances in software, computational power, sensors and mobile communication techniques have accelerated the development and understanding. Already, drive assistance systems, such as lane holding, cruise control and emergency braking have made it into production cars, making a ride in a vehicle more […]
Machine Learning for Accelerated Aero-Thermal Design in the Age of Electromobility
Artificial Intelligence (AI) coupled with traditional Compute Aided Engineering (CAE) tools provide the potential of transforming the engineering design process. This is one of the driving forces behind the UPSCALE Project, specifically applied to the future design of electric vehicles. The EU project is a collaboration of several industrial and academic partners, where ENGYS is […]
CFD Analysis of Vehicle Aerodynamics with ELEMENTS
Analysis of vehicle aerodynamics using CFD can be time consuming and prone to variability without a consistently applied methodology. This on-demand webinar discusses how ELEMENTS can be used to provide more accurate and consistent CFD results when performing vehicle aerodynamics analysis. Within the webinar you will see:
Multipoint Adjoint Topology Optimisation for Automotive HVAC System
In the previous post about multipoint adjoint optimisation I showed the concept and process of our recent developments in this field on a very simple demonstration case (Definitely read this before you continue!). We now have received permission by our partner Volkswagen AG to show the original case that sparked this development. I will introduce […]
