Race car tuned in 8 weeks
When CEEMO Engineering needed to test and optimise a new concept car they turned to EFD.Lab, a general purpose engineering fluid dynamics software from Flomerics for the task.
The entire design optimisation process for the 2-seater chassis took about eight weeks despite the design engineer being a novice in the use of fluid analysis software. “I am an aerospace engineer by background but I had never used CFD software before,” said Evan van Wolfswinkel, an engineer at Ceemo.
CEEMO Engineering develops and manufactures products for the racing industry such as airfoils, body panels and air boxes. In the past, CEEMO has contributed to the success of many racing teams by delivering products for Renault, BMW, Marcos, Lexus and Spyker racing cars.
“Since we had an extensive background in designing various aerodynamic parts for racing purposes, we decided to expand our portfolio by designing a new concept car,” explained van Wolfswinkel.
