SolidWorks in the Automotive Industry

MLC CAD Systems is no stranger to the benefits of SolidWorks Simulation and the automotive industry. Our long time relationship with Pablo Huffaker and his Grave Digger monster truck have given both MLC and Pablo plenty of opportunities to use SolidWorks, SolidWorks Simulation and Mastercam to improve the quality of the special parts needed for monster trucks.

In a recent press release SolidWorks highlights the efforts of Jeremy Singley of Jeremy Singley Industrial Design, a designer who has no interest in becoming an engineer, but is working to find more efficient, effective ways of reducing drag on the ultra-aerodynamic tractor-trailer designs he’s developing.

MLC CAD Systems has long believed that SolidWorks and SolidWorks Simulation tools were not only the finest 3D CAD and analysis tools available, but also the easiest to use and Jeremy agrees, “I took a SolidWorks Flow Simulation class and after two days, I was ready to go,” Singley said. “The software is easy to learn, robust, and works seamlessly with SolidWorks CAD. I can see results right away, make changes, and immediately see the new results. I find that viewing flow over specific surfaces suggests new shapes to try. Often times something that’s happening at the truck’s front grill will cause turbulence 20 feet behind the truck.”
