Optimize vehicle aerodynamic and thermal performance with simulation - ERP Spain.com - España y América Latina

 

Stricter emission limits and new test procedures put the automotive and transportation industry under a lot of pressure. The Worldwide harmonized Light vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) introduced a new driving cycle (WLTC), resulting in a higher average and maximum velocity during testing. For this reason, the importance of aerodynamics has increased. Simulation provides a way to improve aerodynamics earlier in the design cycle, allowing vehicle manufacturers to enhance aerodynamic performance before the first physical prototype.

 

In this webinar, we have a guest speaker from Jaguar Land Rover who will discuss using aerodynamic simulation to help build quality vehicles. Our guest speaker will look at how they use the right level of fidelity to help the efficiency have the most significant impact on design.
