Episode 19: Virtual Vehicle Styling Using Aerodynamics Guidance & Immersive Visualization

With vehicle electrification and intent to maximize range, Transportation and Mobility OEMs have stringent targets related to vehicle aerodynamics. The design process requires to take into account vehicle performance and esthetic trade-offs, which leads to numerous iterations involving different teams and stakeholders. We will present a MODSIM process within the 3DEXPERIENCE platform allowing the aerodynamics performance information to be brought into the design studio as guidance for early concept design with SIMULIA PowerFLOW.

Highlights:

• MODSIM on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform integrates design and simulation to transform the way vehicle OEMs develop their products.
• Easy-to-use dashboard process simplifies the execution of CFD simulations through automated templating, meshing, setup and post-processing, allowing designers to get aerodynamics feedback on their design ideas.
• Leverage an extensively validated CFD process and methodology by comparison to physical test to ensure trustworthy results and guidance.
• Facilitate collaboration by keeping all stakeholders informed by operating on a single source of truth and using easy access of flow results in VR on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
