F1 Aero Design (Bodywork)

We will approach the job of designing a F1 bodywork from scratch together and design a parametric model, that will allow us to change the bodywork quickly to different bodywork concepts.

The basis for this is a simplified F1 car without bodywork.

You will learn how to efficiently design complex aero parts, that can be changed without losing development time to bring updates quicker to the track.

We will start with general thoughts about aero design, which is the combination of aerodynamic development and designing parts, which can be produced.

We will then approach the job of designing a bodywork like an F1 engineer would do and design every detail together step by step.

While designing we will keep in mind that it should be possible to change the design quickly later on.

After the initial design is finalized, we will change the bodywork to create different aerodynamic flow structures that help us to make the car faster. These will include high downwash designs, large undercut designs, size zero and shrink wrap design.

Finally, we will learn about legality. Why is it important to design legal parts, especially for small teams? How do I build in mechanisms into my design to avoid designing illegal parts? And how do we check for legality efficiently?

If you are seeking a career in F1 and/or are a F1 fan and want to know more about how to design a F1 car, this is the right course for you.

Best,

Martin

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
