Wishing everyone a happy Fall break from IFE! Our team hard at work finally gets some time to relax, celebrate, and roast turkeys instead of our chassis. We are all so grateful for this team and can't wait to get back to work soon 🥰🥰

Thank you so much to for coming out and visiting IFE this past Tuesday! We had a blast checking out the Rivian R1T and showing you guys around our first ever four wheel drive vehicle. We can't wait to see what Rivian does at with the future of electrification as we partner up and together this year!

Everything we do in Illini Formula Electric simply isn't possible without our sponsors. Because of this, we're back posting another to show our appreciation for our sponsors! This weekend, we're shouting out for their support in these difficult times.

Our sponsors empower us as a team to design, build, and test our cars each year. Furthermore as individuals, our team members learn, grow, and adapt to diverse working environments, picking up a plethora of pertinent skills along the way.

For today’s post we would like to thank one of our longest sponsors, . Many of you already know that Solidworks has sponsored FSAE competitions and FSAE teams for quite some time now and they are a big reason many teams are able to design a car at all.
———————————————
Their industry grade software allows our team members to get hands on CAD experience using a plethora of innovative tools and features. Their UI is extremely intuitive allowing new members to get up to speed on CAD and be able to start working on technical projects quickly.

Our team uses Solidworks not only to CAD our entire car, both the mechanical and electrical portions, but also for FEA to ensure our parts are safe and will be able to withstand the necessary forces while keeping weights low for performance.

Overall, we highly recommend Solidworks for any team that’s looking for CAD software.

As many of you already know, making an FSAE car would be nearly impossible without sponsorships. Because of this, we would like to start a new tradition of posting about our sponsors as a token of appreciation for all they do for us. For our first post we would like to thank .

"Founded in 2012 with offices in Munich, New York, and Boston, SimScale is the world’s first production-ready SaaS application for simulation. By providing instant access to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA) to over 150,000 users, SimScale has moved high-fidelity physics simulation technology from a complex and cost-prohibitive desktop application to a user-friendly cloud application accessible via a subscription-based pricing model."
———————————————
This year, we’re using SimScale to design our first ever undertray. With a simple user interface and cloud-based computing, their program allows our CFD testing to be faster than ever. SimScale has proven invaluable in our design process over this summer and will continue to guide our decisions throughout the entire design process.
