If you haven’t already considered it, here are six reasons why you should make Formula CarMaker a part of your team’s software toolkit.
Minimal set up
Some software packages are provided as-is, with reduced features, no pre-existing assets and only a few tutorials to get started – not so here.
The Formula CarMaker package comes both fully-featured and optimised for the Formula Student competition with everything you need to get started, including:
- A pre-made ADS-DV vehicle model
- A standard Formula Student vehicle model
- All the Dynamic Events tracks, including Acceleration, Figure of Eight Skidpad, Sprint and Endurance Courses and more
- Full guidance for customising your models
- A technical forum supported by a global IPG Automotive team
Formula CarMaker makes it easy to load up your project, customise your setup to match your current vehicle and get to work.
Test and iterate wherever you are
With some teams still facing restrictions related to COVID-19 and with exams on the way, we know it is difficult to test and optimise your completed vehicle.
With Formula CarMaker, you can set up and perform hundreds of tests in a virtual environment and use that data to enhance the design and setup of your car, all without leaving your home, workshop or garage. No test track? No problem!
Maximise your points haul for the LTS event
Use of Formula CarMaker is mandatory for the Lap Time Simulation event this year. Be sure to download and get to grips with the software ahead of the Formula Student 2021 competition and claim the win in this category.
Add to your software skills
CarMaker is the world leading option for virtual vehicle design testing and optimisation across vehicle dynamics, powertrain and ADAS/AV domains. It has a wide variety of applications and is a valuable asset for graduates looking for their first role in industry.
Designed to support all teams
No matter whether you are in a Formula Student, Concept Class or FS-AI team, Formula CarMaker gives your team the tools to carry out dynamic vehicle testing and setup optimisation for all the dynamic events at Silverstone – even on the day.
FS-AI teams are able to test sensor types and placement on the provided ADS-DV model, providing a low bar to entry for all new and existing teams using this platform for the competition.
