MOTORSPORT
Racing teams are searching for hundredths of a second and consistency in their performance. We combine years of experience across various motorsport classes to offer invaluable support for racing teams aiming for maximum performance and podium finishes. Our expert team unites extensive practical experience and technical know-how on the racetrack to deliver customized solutions.
TRACK ENGINEERING FOR RACING TEAMS:
Our services provide invaluable support in optimizing:
- vehicle setup
- maximizing performance
- gaining a competitive edge
By utilizing advanced simulation software and analyzing real-world data, we assist teams with chassis tuning, improving aerodynamic configurations, and enhancing vehicle dynamics to extract maximum performance from their race cars. By optimizing the vehicle setup according to specific track conditions and driver preferences, we enable racing teams to:
- faster lap times
- improved consistency
- enhanced race-day performance.
In addition to track engineering, our component testing services play a crucial role in ensuring the reliability, durability, and performance of critical racing components. From engines and powertrains to chassis and aerodynamic elements, we subject components to rigorous testing protocols and analyses to identify potential weaknesses, validate design improvements, and optimize performance parameters.
On-site, we conduct NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) to assess the structural strength and performance of components in real time, enabling race teams to make informed decisions and adjustments during race events. This real-time feedback loop allows teams to optimize performance, minimize risks, and maximize their chances of success on race day.
FORMULA 1 & GT EXPERTISE
Through a partnership with Schmax+, race teams gain access to unparalleled expertise in the F1 and GT sectors with a proven track record of success.
COMPOSITE DESIGN
We integrate advanced materials and innovative techniques to create lightweight and durable structures for:
- Road and racing vehicles
- Components in aerospace and defense
- Defense section
From concept and stress analysis to design and production readiness, we fulfill numerous requirements in the field of composite design. For example, monocoques using the autoclave or RTM processes.
We support our clients throughout the entire development process. This includes the design and engineering of products that set new standards, as well as prototyping and testing to perfect design and functionality. We also provide consulting services regarding certification and compliance with international norms and standards.
THERMAL NETWORK SOLVER
TheNeS is a 1.5D solver for the stationary simulation of complex cooling systems – specifically developed for the demands of motorsports and the automotive industry. An intuitive drag-and-drop editor allows users to build and calculate any network of coolers, pumps, thermostats, fans, ducts, blankings, and fluid-to-fluid heat exchangers in seconds.
Multiple parallel air loops with staggered cooler stacks are accurately modeled, as are thermostat-controlled bypasses, pressure-loss-based fan curves, and individual coolant and air-side ΔP characteristics. Users can define their own fluids with density, heat capacity, and viscosity, and save them across projects. Live visualization with temperature- or medium-coded color scales, animated flow direction, and hover tooltips makes the system's behavior immediately understandable. Automated report generation documents every configuration at the touch of a button, accelerating communication within the development team.
TheNeS bridges the gap between rudimentary Excel calculations and costly 3D CFD tools, delivering reliable results in the early design phase in a fraction of the time previously required. Developed by engineers for engineers – with the aim of enabling every design decision to be made on a physically sound and measurement-data-validated basis.
YACHTING COMPOSITE ENGINEERING
Lightweight – Fast – Energy-efficient – Aesthetic – Safe
Modern yachts excel in efficiency and safety on all levels. Aesthetic criteria must also be considered during the design process to satisfy individual customer needs. Our formula for implementing engineering in yacht construction is not just "form follows function," but also "function follows form." The key is to successfully combine both approaches. Lightweight materials, in particular, ensure elegant aesthetics, efficient fuel consumption, and long-lasting durability on the water.
Whether hull, deck, fittings, or interior design – our composite solutions ensure that every vessel meets the highest design and safety standards. Our interdisciplinary engineering team combines decades of expertise from various engineering fields, including motorsports, the aerospace industry, and defense.
DEFENSE
Lightweight construction is the future of engineering.
In the military and aerospace sectors, weight plays a crucial role. It's about faster transport routes, fuel efficiency, and reduced operating costs. Our team specializes in developing customized and innovative lightweight components for defense vehicles that deliver outstanding technical performance.
Structural components such as body panels and monocoques not only contribute to increased efficiency but also provide added safety. Racing cars already incorporate a high proportion of lightweight materials, resulting in demonstrably improved vehicle performance and energy efficiency.
Our expertise and practical know-how make us the perfect partner for your projects.
ULTRASONIC TESTS
Quality assurance primarily means guaranteeing safety and customer satisfaction. Depending on the industry, this ranges from the early detection of potential material defects and the prevention of welding defects in the automotive sector to the protection of sensitive components in lightweight construction.
COMPOSITE TESTING:
We utilize advanced techniques such as ultrasound-based defect detection to assess the structural integrity of components like carbon monocoques and other vehicle parts, thereby ensuring safety and performance—if necessary, directly on the racetrack. Our composite testing process enables the precise identification of material defects, surface cracks, or wall thickness variations, which is crucial for the safety and quality of vehicle components.
