Student competitions

Adams Car software allows students to design and simulate their FSAE vehicles to maximize their vehicle performance. With Adams Car, FSAE teams can quickly build and test their functional virtual prototypes of complete vehicles and vehicle subsystems. FSAE engineering teams can exercise their vehicle designs under various road conditions, performing the same tests they normally run in a test lab or on a test track, but in a fraction of time.

CAE Software makes its industrial-strength engineering simulation software available for FREE to university student-teams participating in real-world, multi-school competitions.
