Case Study: HorsePower Hannover optimizes racecar suspension with Hexagon's Adams simulation

HorsePower Hannover - Customer Case Study

HorsePower Hannover, a Formula Student team from Leibniz University, faced the challenge of optimizing the suspension design for their electric racecars to meet rigorous competition standards. To move beyond estimations and achieve a more professional development process, they turned to Hexagon and implemented its Adams multibody dynamics simulation software.

Hexagon's solution provided the team with advanced simulation capabilities to model the dynamic behavior of their vehicle, including the critical acceleration and skidpad tests. This allowed them to validate their designs against real-world measurements, avoid failures in technical acceptance tests, and gain a deeper understanding of their vehicle's overall performance. As a result, the team developed with greater confidence, prevented costly design errors, and laid the groundwork for future, more complex simulation projects to further optimize their racecar.
