Operational Impact
The fast simulation turnaround enabled by Rescale’s platform kept the team on schedule to compete on event day. It also allowed the team to quickly explore a variety of new concepts and design features before iterating to a final design. This comprehensive design exploration phase led to the discovery and implementation of several design features that significantly reduced the total weight of the carbon-fiber body. As a result, the energy-efficiency of their hydrogen-powered car was significantly increased. The team was able to achieve their goal of designing a lightweight, but strong vehicle within their constrained project schedule and budget. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Reduced the total weight of the carbon-fiber body by 5% | |
Reduced typical simulation turnaround time from a couple of days to a matter of hours | |
Ran the majority of simulations on 192 cores of the Gold hardware configuration, the most cost-effective configuration for their simulations | |
