Every day, cars you see on the road or track reflect cutting-edge designs powered by ICON’s expertise. With over 30 years of dedicated support to the automotive industry, ICON is your trusted partner for driving performance and innovation in vehicle aerodynamics. Whether you’re looking for affordable, scalable solutions or need expert support tailored to your unique needs, ICON delivers.
Choose ICON’s SaaS for flexible, scalable simulations with low entry costs, volume-based pricing and unlimited users, or opt for our ultimate on-premise solutions with fixed costs and total control over your infrastructure.
ICON’s solutions streamline the simulation process by speaking the language of the aerodynamicist—not the CFD specialist. Our intuitive pre-processing tools focus on essential automotive inputs like vehicle type, positioning, and road conditions, freeing you from technical modeling concerns such as turbulence models and numerical schemes. By embedding continuously improving best practices, ICON maximizes the power of your simulations, allowing you to stay focused on refining your designs while we handle the complexities.
ICON’s advanced ride-height tool ensures your simulations match real-world driving conditions—without requiring you to modify your CAD. The tool automatically manages morphing, positioning, and tire deformation, as well as suspension compression, to accurately simulate ride-height variations. This allows you to predict aerodynamic performance with precision under any speed or load scenario.
Meshing is no longer an obstacle! ICON’s fully automated high-fidelity mesh tools deliver exceptional quality directly from tessellated CAD, using advanced embedded wrapping technology that preserves surface integrity while seamlessly filling gaps. Unlike simple octree methods that lack anisotropic boundary layer capture and fall short in boundary layer flow accuracy, ICON’s solution guarantees 100% layer mesh coverage down to y+ 1. Pioneers in body-fitted automated parallel hex-dominant meshing, ICON has been leading the way in continuously setting new standards for precision in vehicle aerodynamics.
ICON’s solutions deliver proven accuracy and reliability you can trust. Our tools are validated against over 500 real-life models using wind-tunnel data across various conditions, ensuring real-world performance. Highlighted in the seminal article SAE 2017-01-1524, which demonstrates the depth of ICON’s validation processes, our technology has been integrated into WLTP-certified workflows and is applicable to all vehicle types. ICON’s aerodynamic simulations are continuously evolving to maintain the highest standards of accuracy and reliability at every stage of your project.
Why settle for tools without proven pedigree when you can use a solution trusted by some of the world’s leading automotive manufacturers?
