During this study, we’re going to take a look behind the scenes to see how one team – Red Bull Racing – uses Finite Element Analysis when designing their Formula One cars. Red Bull use the MSC system for all their computer-aided analysis and design, for example, Patran for the pre- and post-processing, and Nastran for the analysis.

For our two case studies, we’re going to look at the design and stress analysis of two parts of the car: the wheel hub in there, and the tub, or chassis.
