Griiip, an Israeli motorsport company, aimed to popularize motorsport in Israel and globally, outside the Formula 1 circuit. The company designed a new, fast, and professional race car, the G1, that combined efficiency in racing with a competitive purchase price and low running costs. However, the challenge was to create a race car that was both very strong and very light. All parts of the car needed to be optimized for loads, stress, weight, and endurance. The company also wanted to reduce the development time and the many iterations needed before getting to the final product and each component. Another challenge was to create a new and exciting viewing experience for motorsport fans.

Griiip employed several products from the Altair HyperWorks™ suite, including Altair Radioss™ for crash simulation, Altair OptiStruct™ for structural optimization, general FE analysis, and Altair HyperMesh™ and Altair HyperView™ for pre- and post-processing tasks. The use of these tools allowed Griiip to optimize every part in the G1 for loads, stress, weight, and endurance. The company was able to reduce the development time and the many iterations needed before getting to the final product and each component. Griiip also developed a media platform that created a new exciting race-viewing experience. The company used new data-related technology to collect, analyze, and distribute different data, allowing drivers to improve their skills and knowledge about the setup of the car without requiring an expert in the middle.
