Race Car Development Center
Race Car Development Center
(OP)
We are in a process of creating a shop for race cars development and testing, we think of having the following tools:
A 3D scanning device to have a model of the car
A flow analysis/virtual wind tunnel
A post processing software to analize aero changes
A FEA software for structural analysis
A simulator for track analysis
and whatever else somebody suggests
I am seeking advise from all of you who i know have a vast experience, on what are the best software for this and what else should we add to the shop. If you have the information what are the prices?
As allways thank you for the time to solve our doubts

FEA must be able to handle composites.
Which race series do you have experience in?

Lots and lots of strain gages.
Plenty of hydraulic rams, winches and great big heavy chunks of concrete to smash things into so that you can validate your modeling.

RE: Race Car Development Center
Are you guys mostly doing Chassis and Aero design and farming out Engine and Suspension?
RE: Race Car Development Center
It seems rather good at aero/mechanical interactions.
for cfd look no further than OpenFOAM.
The price is right on both those products.
