Fluid flow performance and behavior are becoming increasingly important for the design of automotive vehicle shape and key components with increasing pressure to improve design performance while reducing cost and time to market. The goal is to generate optimal design shapes within the available space that provide the desired performance for specified design goals such as drag, lift, swirl and tumble, flow uniformity, noise reduction, material reduction, and reduced energy requirements.

ENGYS Limited, a provider and user of open-source technologies for CFD and design optimization, combined Pointwise’s high-quality, unstructured mesh generation with Helyx Adjoint to provide efficient and effective topology optimization of automotive components.
