Formula Student (Formula SAE)

Applications of ICON World-Leading Products and Expert Services

Global partner in the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics

If you’re looking to win the Formula Student (Formula SAE) competition, iconCFD® could provide the competitive edge you need.

It’s chosen as the better, faster, cheaper and easier alternative by engineering leaders in the automotive and motorsport sectors. We were the first to industrialise open source CFD for the automotive industry. Today, we are global experts with a proven record of helping motorsport teams to win.

The ICON Formula Student (Formula SAE) App gives you the ability to explore multiple options. For example: Ride height, side wall and bank angle, yaw, steer, roll, drag coefficient, brake cooling, down force, etc. It’s also easy to operate – you can start running simulations within just a few hours.

Our cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering also reduces the investment required for in-house simulation infrastructure. We recognise this is often limited or difficult to access in university labs. This collaborative platform allows you to document and share progress and outcomes amongst your team at any time or location.
