Siemens today announced that the Oreca Group, a major motorsport engineering organization, has selected Siemens’ Simcenter software, part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, to support advanced CFD and composite structural optimization for its high-performance racing vehicle development programs, including Le Mans 24 Hours with Ford Motor Company.
To fulfill the Oreca Group’s ambition to expand the use of advanced simulation technologies across highly competitive racing programs, it has replaced its legacy CFD environment with Siemens’ technologies to improve simulation efficiency, enable more advanced multiphysics simulation and strengthen workflow integration across its motorsport engineering teams.
“Oreca was looking for a simulation environment that could support accelerated and more streamlined workflows from design through simulation while enabling new types of multiphysics analysis,” said Jean-Philippe Pelaprat, head of aerodynamics, Oreca Group. “Siemens’ simulation software gives our engineering teams the flexibility to run more advanced simulations and optimize composite structures in a highly demanding motorsport environment.”
“Our collaboration with Oreca shows how Siemens Xcelerator empowers engineering organizations to push the limits of performance through simulation-driven engineering," said Sam Mahalingam, executive vice-president of Simulation, HPC and AI, Siemens Digital Industries Software. "By bringing advanced CFD and composite optimization together within a digital twin environment, we're giving customers the tools to explore bold new design approaches and drive innovation in some of the most demanding, competitive engineering programs in the world.”
