FIA Taps Simens for Its Digital Twin Technology
References: press.siemens
In order to develop the next-generation race car concept, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) — the worldwide governing body for motorsports — has entered into a sponsorship agreement with Siemens. This development has designated the technology company as FIA's Official Digital Twin Sponsor.
The partnership is part of the newly created FIA Global Partnership Programme and involves an expanded utilization of software from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio. The primary application will be for the FIA's own aerodynamic research, which is focused on developing and refining the regulatory frameworks for future single-seater racing vehicles across multiple Formula series. The core methodology involves using Siemens' Designcenter NX application to construct highly detailed virtual models of next-generation race car concepts. These digital twins are then subjected to computational fluid dynamics simulations, a process that allows for the analysis and optimization of aerodynamic properties, performance characteristics, and safety aspects entirely within a computerized setting.
