The engineering demands affecting automotive aerodynamics are rising significantly, due to requirements to reduce global carbon emissions coupled with an increasingly competitive and consumer-driven marketplace. These demands touch every aspect of the vehicle development process, requiring more innovative engineering solutions, bolder designs, and more complex trade-offs between vehicle attributes. In response to these demands, digital models allow collaborative design with rapid iterations. They also enable a transformational shift in the testing process, away from the sequential “build-and-test” approach using physical prototypes, and toward a purely digital design process enabled by accurate digital simulations of vehicle performance attributes.
