When form follows flow.
Accelerating the design process with real-time aerodynamic performance
An Exploration of New Design Practices on a 1/10 Remote-Controlled Vehicle
InFLUX explores how designers can engage earlier in the development cycle by using performance data to protect creative intent, accelerate convergence, and turn engineering constraints into design intelligence.
Modeling and simulation together are catalysts for transforming vehicle development. They help designers understand how products behave in the real world and allow for faster iteration with confidence that the design will pass validation stages.

Optimizing Design Processes for Innovation
When it comes to cars, electric or not, simulation is performance.
How can designers, engineers, analysts, and other stakeholders address performance constraints earlier in the development process to enable greater efficiency and foster more innovative solutions?
With performance-driven design, simulation is integrated directly into the 3D modeling process, generating, evaluating, and optimizing conceptual shapes based on specific functional requirements.
This project started with the ambition for design and simulation experts to work together, increasing “modeling/simulation” loops while reducing turnaround times.
InFLUX exposes how future vehicle design may progressively shift from isolated form creation toward continuous negotiation between creative intent, simulation, organizational structures, and interconnected systems of constraints.

Dassault Systèmes & the 3DEXPERIENCE platform
Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE® platform is the catalyst for uniting artists, scientists and makers in a dynamic process of renewable innovation. By collecting and displaying knowledge from dozens of disciplines via virtual twin experiences – scientifically accurate simulations of objects and the world in which they will exist – the platform provides a space for collaboration. For the first time, virtual twin experiences enable us to conceptualise and fully understand our creations’ renewal potential.
