The 3D model is automatically integrated with other Siemens software packages such as Capital Essentials for wire-harness, Simcenter Star-CCM+ for aero downforce analysis, and FiberSim for composites design. This enables an even more accurate digital twin. Fibersim even tells us in advance how to prevent fabrication flaws preventing wasteful cost and labor! Since our 3D CAD model in NX is so integrated with the other Siemens tools, we can ensure that our simulations are accurate regardless of the sub-system. The ability to bring together all engineering disciplines that make up a comprehensive Formula Electric car digital twin with Siemens software has been a major factor for GFR\u2019s consistent success at competitions.\u201d<\/em><br><br><strong>See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Wp29ejUsodU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this video<\/a> for a more technical and illustrated explanation of how GFR uses Siemens Xcelerator suite of engineering software.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/08\/mcgill-and-students-on-banking.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5968\" width=\"735\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/08\/mcgill-and-students-on-banking.jpg 980w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/08\/mcgill-and-students-on-banking-600x324.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/08\/mcgill-and-students-on-banking-768x415.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/08\/mcgill-and-students-on-banking-900x487.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Digital Twin 2nd place team on the banking at Michigan Int&#8217;l Speedway.<strong> McGill Formula Electric Racing <\/strong>took 3rd place in autocross, 1st in cost presentation, 10th place overall at the event and 6th in the Design presentation judging.

Last year, we decided to remodel the car\u2019s nose and related wing. We made many iterations on Star-CCM+ to drive our design process. We also used it to test early versions of a new front wing and rear diffuser, to improve downforce and thus cornering grip. The full-car simulations were really useful to determine major performance target variables such as the car\u2019s lift and drag coefficient &#8211; which will then be used in other simulations such as lap-time track simulations. As students, we are greatly thankful of the fact that your software offers a large array of easy to access tutorials, online training, and FSAE-specific aero articles that have helped us in learning how to properly use Star CCM+ to its maximum potential. We think it is a great initiative by Siemens to show off our work done using your software. We are extremely grateful for your support.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, there was possibly the strongest showing of industry support ever at an FSAE North America event, which is great to see as we come out of the worst of the pandemic.
