Autodesk Launches Free Formula Car Design Curriculum
 FARNBOROUGH,
UK, Oct 28, 2008 - As a partner sponsor in the long-running Formula Student
single-seat racing car design and build competition, Autodesk has launched
the Autodesk Formula car design curriculum as a free download to assist
competitors and faculty staff. The curriculum is available for
free-of-charge download at the Autodesk Student Engineering and Design
Community website,
www.autodesk.com/edcommunity.Established in the UK in 1998 and run by
the British Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), Formula Student
provides engineering students with a real-life experience in designing,
producing and marketing of a single-seat racing car. The competition
challenges and encourages highly-talented young engineers from around the
world and culminates in a prestigious race at the legendary Silverstone
Circuit followed by an awards ceremony.”
The Autodesk Formula Car Design Curriculum has been launched as a free
facility for students to help demonstrate the competitive advantage they can
achieve by designing their cars with Autodesk software. This comprehensive
resource provides tools from its Autodesk’s Inventor software such as the
frame generator, dynamic accelerators, stress analysis and dynamic
simulation, which contribute to the teams creating more innovative designs
and ultimately to success on the race track.
As a leader in design innovation software and technologies, Autodesk is
proud to support young engineering talent both through its partnership of
Formula Student and its provision of free software to participants.
“By demonstrating the ways in which our digital prototyping software can
help the student teams create higher quality designs in less time, we hope
to encourage innovation amongst the engineers of tomorrow,” says Autodesk’s
Alistair Brook, education manager, EMEA.
