Case Study: Gurit achieves an energy-efficient, aerodynamic solar car for endurance racing with Altair simulation software

Gurit - Customer Case Study

Gurit, supporting Western Sydney University's Bridgestone World Solar Challenge team, needed to optimize a solar car for endurance and energy efficiency while ensuring driver safety and compliance with class rules. To address this challenge, Gurit used Altair simulation software to drive the design process.

Using Altair's simulation tools, Gurit ran aerodynamic and structural analyses to iterate designs quickly, validate safety features, and ensure rule compliance. Altair enabled measurable improvements in aerodynamic performance and energy efficiency, helping the team refine the car for greater endurance and competitiveness in the race.
