Engineering ingenuity driven by Generative Design: Integrating gear and motor into an electric race car’s wheel carrier
New drive train unlocks new design approaches
The racing team from Paderborn University developed an entirely new wheel carrier concept and generated an entirely new, optimised design with MSC Apex Generative Design from scratch
Motorsports is always about maximum performance and minimising weight; combining Additive Manufacturing and Generative Design is the perfect way for engineers to achieve this. Simulation has a pivotal role throughout the process, from load detection to non-destructive testing. UPB.racing proves in this case study that MSC Apex Generative Design is the right tool for designing perfectly optimized, innovative parts for highest performance as engineers are no longer limited by their imagination or legacy designs. Read by yourself how generative design and its advanced algorithms take over actual geometry definition to get to entirely new design ideas.
