1. Efficient modeling and analysis If you need to create frames, you are probably using an outdated beam element analysis program to construct a frame and then remodeling it in the CAD tool, all of which may require extruding concentric circles or squares.
Software: Autodesk Simulation - ATHENE Racing Team and Giessen Motorsport
With Autodesk® Inventor® software, the ability to model a frame, analyze it, and make modifications quickly is only the beginning. You can also analyze parts and components at many different levels.

4. Extensive parts catalog You shouldn’t have to spend time modeling parts. Standard components–whether they are belts, bolts, or bearings–are built to standards. Autodesk® Inventor® Design Accelerator tools enable you to select standard components from a catalog of hundreds of thousands of parts based on engineering calculations. Once the calculation has been made, Autodesk Inventor places the physical model in the design.

3. Mechanical and electrical interoperability Things would be a lot simpler if teams only had to deal with mechanical issues, but that’s not the case. Being able to integrate mechanical and electrical systems is crucial to success. In fact, you may even have an electrical engineer on your team. Autodesk® AutoCAD® Electrical software enables electrical engineers to work with schematics while you incorporate their work in your 3D models.

6. Photorealistic visualizations Autodesk® VRED™ 3D visualization software enables automotive designers and engineers to create product presentations, design reviews, and virtual prototypes with highly realistic materials, physical camera settings, engineering tools, and even surface analysis modes. Visualize your ideas, evaluate your design, and move from physical to virtual prototypes in real time.
Software: Autodesk® Vault Collaboration
5. Simple data management When you are working within a limited budget, you can only afford to have a part machined once. Autodesk Inventor makes version control issues a thing of the past. The Autodesk® Vault data management environment is easy to set up and work with, and it’s probably the same environment your future employers will be using.

“The versatility of the Autodesk products available to all students has allowed us to streamline our entire design process. A smooth transition between CAD and FEA and the generation of highly professional images for team publications are just two advantages of using Autodesk’s industry-standard software packages.”
We already knew Autodesk Inventor from last year and the program has now rightfully established as the CAD tool in our team. We use it for the design of the entire assembly and are especially convinced of the ease of use. The simulation capabilities we used for checking many of the components. Autodesk Multiphysics simulation we used for precise and progressive iteration of the wheel construction. As we are using magnesium wheel carriers this year the precise simulation was even more interesting for us. Various load cases were simulated and the component could be optimized with respect to its weight and the material. We have used Autodesk VRED because we wanted to create a very realistic view of the car for promotional purposes.

Eco-motion–Burg Giebichenstein Hochschule fuer Kunst und Design Halle (Germany) “Autodesk products not only help us create and design our ideas, they also enable us to communicate and express our ideas to each other and our partners.” The team ecoemotion has already built two vehicles for the Shell Eco-marathon. These prototypes convinced spectators and judges with innovative concepts, special materials and groundbreaking designs – and won several awards. In summer 2011 15 students from the "University of Art and Design Burg Giebichenstein Halle" decided to built a whole new car within less than 12 months. The new concept persuades with its special steering and angular appearance. While turning, the vehicle body leans into the curve like a motorcycle, hence the name TILT. Ecoemotion always made eco friendly prototypes, because of that we aim to reduce the amount of materials and energy used. TILT's outer structure is made of folded honeycomb core panels to get torsion resistance and low weight. The visual appearance was developed in sketches, clay and Autodesk Alias Automotive. –Hendrik Nater - Team Leader
