In an era of fuel price and emission conscious consumers and governments, low aerodynamic drag of automobiles plays a key role in achieving good fuel economy/battery range and low emissions. We also see an increasing diversity in consumer choices on vehicle exterior design and aesthetics. In such a scenario, today’s aerodynamicists and CFD Engineers have a tight timeline to deliver on multiple development products while having to explore over a large design space.

 

Most traditional simulations take too long to complete and takes significant toll on the vehicle manufacturer’s capability to arrive at an optimal design that considers styling and aerodynamic performance. In this webinar, we introduce you to Altair’s ultraFluidX, a GPU based Lattice Boltzmann solver that delivers unbeatable performance and overnight transient simulations of full vehicle aerodynamics on a single server. We will discuss the challenges in executing a full vehicle transient simulation and demonstrate how ultraFluidX technology and workflow helps you to overcome many of these with tremendous ease. We will also discuss some of the unique features that helps you perform multiple design analysis cycles with an unprecedented level of automation.

 

This webinar will be useful for all aerodynamicists, CFD engineers, design engineers, professionals who want to understand GPU based CFD technology and anyone interested in external aerodynamics.

 

During this 45mins webinar, you will learn: 

 

  • Complete external aerodynamics solution.
  • Intuitive case setup using Altair’s Virtual Wind Tunnel.
  • Improving styling and design with overnight aerodynamic analyzes.
  • Capabilities and benefits of Altair’s CFD solutions.
