Formula Racing Innovation with HPCBOX
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are a major part of our team’s design processes and have been a source of huge improvements in the past. However, limitations in hardware can limit the scope of our simulations and traditional HPC solutions, while powerful, can be somewhat unintuitive to use. As our team needs to run on tight deadlines to produce a new vehicle every year, we want to maximize time spent running simulations, and avoid the limitations of running simulations locally. The University of Toronto Formula Racing (UTFR) team is a student lead design team focused on the design fabrication and racing of a small formula style racecar. The team competes internationally against other university teams in the FSAE and Formula Student divisions of racing. As wi
