Hyperworks Suite Used to Develop Eco-Friendly Car

Altair Engineering has announced that Surrey-based Gordon Murray Design chose the Hyperworks product suite to develop the T.25 City Car, which addresses congestion, carbon footprint and emissions. The Hyperworks pre-processor Hypermesh was used to build and assemble the T.25 CAE model, which was subsequently analysed for a variety of load cases and performance measures using the suite's Radioss solver. The results were then post-processed and visualised in Altair Hyperview.

The combined use of the Hyperworks tools helped the engineering team design a lighter car in a significantly reduced timescale. The light weight will further enhance the city car's road performance through less fuel consumption and, ultimately, lower CO2 emissions. Optistruct, Altair's optimisation tool, will be used by Gordon Murray Design in the future to help further refine primary structures. In the meantime, Radioss is used to analyse the torsion stiffness, bending stiffness, frontal offset loading and normal mode characteristics of the vehicle.
