Simcenter Amesim – Modeling and Simulation of a Cooling System
Thermal and energy management plays an important role in passenger and racing cars, especially against the background of the increasing importance of electric mobility. In this webinar we analyze and evaluate the cooling system of an automobile using the simplified model and simulating different load and environmental scenarios. Additionally we will present some aspects and approaches of modelling and simulation in Simcenter Amesim using specific model libraries from multiple physical domains.

From F1 to Formula Student – Composite Part Design at Renault F1
The Renault Sport Formula One Team faces increased pressure every year to design the “perfect” race car – one that is stiffer, lighter and faster than the last one. This webinar will discuss the use of composites in race car design and the how the team’s designers use Siemens PLM Software’s Fibersim to address the challenges of optimizing a race car and its design-to-manufacturing processes.

Simulating Aerodynamics with Simcenter STAR-CCM+
In the present webinar the workflow to set up a simulation with Simcenter STAR-CCM+ is presented. The focus is given on the Aerodynamics of race cars and the topics discussed include the geometry preparation, the mesh creation, the set-up of the Physics and the Post-Processing. Best practices and Aerodynamics case studies are presented as well.

Simulation Aspects of Generative Design for the Automotive Industry
In this webinar you will learn how to take advantage of several simulation techniques, including MBS, FEM and Topology Optimization and to create innovative designs. By using these techniques early in the development process, you will gain deep insight in the performance of single parts or full systems in your car long before the first prototype is built. By applying generative design methodologies you get access to highly optimized concepts that allow you to draft disruptively novel parts almost impossible to imagine using conventional development processes.
All Webinars will be recorded and published to our Formula Student Community page.
