| Courage Competition turns to simulation for help to meet challenges of 24 Hours of Le Mans |
05 April 2005 - ESI Group
For over 20 years, Courage Compétition's prototypes have been successfully competing against those of global OEMs in LMP1 and LMP2 races. Yves Courage, founder of the Le Mans, Sarthe based manufacturer, set the goal of designing 100% of the vehicle content, except for the engine. Software simulation tools are an integral part of the development process, allowing the manufacturer to reduce lead times and development costs and design better performing race cars. PAM-CRASH allowed Courage Compétition to study the behavior of the nose of the new C60 car which will compete in the next edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This analysis was extremely complex, since this component is made out of composite materials, which, unlike metallic materials that deform under impact, explode in multiple tiny pieces. PAM-CRASH made it possible to meet the new more stringent frontal crash test regulations, while reducing the weight of the component by a factor of four. |
