155 Engineering
Motorsport nowadays is still dominated by a practical approach, not always making full use of modern technologies.
Furthermore planning the future is globally limited to a (race) season or overwinter.
"What if you could predict how your design will function?"
The last decades computer aided engineering has rapidly evolved, giving the engineer a variety of tools to lower design-to-product time and increase quality. Besides the more common computer aided design, finite element calculations and vehicle simulations for example predict respectively strength and dynamical behaviour.
"Giving rise to forward engineering in motorsport..."
Although decent innovations concern long time planning, the challenge is to lay a basis that can endlessly be extended.
Shooting for the endresult must be a primary goal and every sub-solution must bring better understanding along the way.
Better understanding your vehicle will give rise to more structural solutions.
As a master student Automotive Engineering Science I have a fair interest in the development involved in motorsport engineering.
Combined with a Bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering this provides me with the right tools to search for forward solutions.
