IPG Automotive releases CarMaker 10 and Formula CarMaker Pack

Good simulation requires good data and IPG Automotive know how hard it can be to accurately manage so many vehicle parameters

In a world of lockdown restrictions, simulation will play a bigger role than ever in Formula Student car development. With this in mind, IPG Automotive have been working hard to continually improve our Formula Student offerings.

Teams can now get access to an updated Formula CarMaker project pack including: an FSAI vehicle model; ROS integration examples; updated documentation; cone placement script. A download link has been sent out to all registered teams.

April also sees the release of CarMaker 10, with a host of great new features. Registered teams can request and upgrade to their licence by emailing FormulaCarMaker@ipg-automotive.com.

If you're not yet registered, register your team now on the IPG Automotive website for access to free CarMaker licences including Formula Student specific vehicles, scenarios and documentation to get you started!

We've also launched a Formula CarMaker dedicated forum for teams to compliment the FAQ page and our online support. This forum is a great way for students to help each other and share knowledge. Sign up HERE.
