Global Leaders in Automotive Aerodynamics Digital Product Engineering

ICON’s on-premise and cloud-based Automotive CFD products and expert services deliver remarkable operational, commercial and competitive advantages. Better, faster, significantly cheaper than the big software conglomerates and easier so why pay more?

 

Why does the automotive industry choose ICON?

  • Over the last 30 years, 65%+ of the Top-20 automotive OEMs have been clients
  • Expertise; ICON developed the first, industry-robust open source CFD process
  • Extensive automotive industry experience; we understand the applications and issues involved and provide an industrial best practice
  • Software that’s accurate enough to achieve certified compliance e.g. WLTP
  • Enables greater agility and faster response to change
  • We don’t push or lock you into expensive products like big software vendors
  • Huge savings on costs – operations, design, wind-tunnel/testing, prototyping, etc

 

What can you expect?

  • Accurate and efficient steady and transient digital wind tunnel validated against a variety of global physical wind-tunnels (Ref: SAE 2017-01-1524)
  • ICON engineers fully-integrated into your design, development and production process. This ensures that a broad knowledge of the technical objective of the analysis is also supported by experience of how new designs will be integrated within the vehicle development process as a whole
  • Rock-solid robustness and rapid turn-around times
  • Fully-automated end-to-end workflow for all applications ready for instant deployment in industrial environments
  • Automated design optimisation using mature one-shot adjoint method and integrated DoE methods

 

This will help you develop the best, fastest and cheapest solutions for:

 

  • Aerodynamic Performance
    • Drag Prediction and Evaluation
    • Wheel Modelling
    • Downforce Optimisation
    • Aero-Acoustics

 

  • Front End Air Flow
    • Cooling Efficiency
