A Look Inside Verus Engineering CFD - Validation Feb 11, 2015 CFD Cases We would like to give everyone a further, in-depth view of how we set up, run, and analyze our CFD cases here at Velox Motorsports. While we will not be giving away exactly how to set-up and run the a... Read more
FT-86 Lower Control Arm Development Feb 1, 2015 Suspension Development The final photo from the previous blog post was only finalized through extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA). FEA uses a numerical, computer-based technique to solve complex scenarios. A variety of ... Read more
FT-86 Lower Control Arm Development Jan 22, 2015 Suspension Development Last post we left off on the beginnings of the lower control arm and what it takes to get to the point of designing the part. At this time, we had not considered the exact design goals of the LCA beyo... Read more
FT-86 Lower Control Arm Development Jan 14, 2015 Suspension Development The lower control arm on the twins lacks a crucial component for anyone who lowers, modifies, or wants to track their car; which is the ability to adjust camber. The stock unit does not allow for adju... Read more
Wind Tunnel Testing Jan 7, 2015 CFD Cases Wind tunnel testing is another experiment, like CFD, to help validate aerodynamic changes. The reason for writing this short excerpt is to help clarify some of the misconceptions about wind tunnel tes... Read more
CFD Software Dec 7, 2014 CFD Cases The CFD (computational fluid dynamics) software we use is OpenFOAM which is an open-source finite volume discretization scheme CFD package built on the C++ library used primarily to create application... Read more
FR-S Initial CFD Case Dec 7, 2014 CFD Cases We have done some CFD work for the FR-S to get a baseline result. The model does have a flat floor, so the coefficients are not 100% representative to the real car since the underside of most vehicles... Read more
