ANSYS computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology helps
Ferrari maintain best-in-class aerodynamic performance.
Specifically, Ferrari leverages ANSYS software to reduce overall
drag, maximize downforce and to optimize its complex brake cooling
systems, all of which are essential to keeping the car running
properly. To this end, Ferrari engineers have extensively automated
the simulation process and run many design iterations to improve
speed, reliability and safety.
"Ferrari relies on fast and accurate simulation to design
winning race cars like the 458 GT," said Gilles Eggenspieler,
senior product manager for the fluids line at ANSYS. "ANSYS'
systematic approach to simulation enables engineers to conveniently
evaluate multiple product design ideas across a range of operating
conditions, leading to enhanced product performance and integrity.
Congratulations, Ferrari, on another successful season."
"The reliability of our cars has been one of the main drivers of
our success for a second year running in this category," said
Enrico Cardile, responsible for
aerodynamics, thermal management and air conditioning at Ferrari.
"As we begin to prepare for the upcoming 2014 season, we're
confident that the high-fidelity results from ANSYS simulation will
help us stay ahead of our competition both on and off the
track."
