This case study examines the innovative approaches adopted by RLE INTERNATIONAL Group<\/a> in the field of automotive design and testing. By integrating artificial intelligence (AI) tools with cloud-native computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations via SimScale, RLE has streamlined the design and testing of automotive components, engines, and systems. The collaboration has successfully enabled RLE to meet the demanding challenges of the automotive industry, including the acceleration of product development cycles and a faster time to market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RLE INTERNATIONAL Group stands at the forefront of the engineering services industry, particularly in automotive design and testing. With a workforce of over 2,300 employees, RLE leverages cutting-edge technology and innovation to meet its clients\u2019 requirements. The automotive industry faces the daunting task of delivering an increasing number of new products within shrinking timelines and without proportional growth in resources or expenditure. The necessity for cost-effective, rapid, and reliable development of automotive components demands an evolution in engineering processes and tools. To tackle these challenges, RLE has partnered with SimScale, a cloud-native computer-aided engineering (CAE) software, to enhance its capabilities in running CFD simulations and training machine learning models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementation of AI and CFD Simulations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

RLE aspired to develop a user-friendly end-to-end workflow for CFD prediction tailored to automotive aerodynamics applications. A critical feature of this system is its accessibility to users without extensive prior AI model training, with an optional pathway for detailed training if needed. SimScale’s cloud-based platform facilitates this by allowing the parallel generation of massive datasets, which are pivotal for training localized AI models or for use directly on SimScale’s platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For efficiently and independently generating context-specific simulation data, SimScale provided the capability to generate a large number of datasets in parallel, which can be further utilized either in a local AI model or cloud-based on the SimScale platform. Under normal circumstances, license utilization and parallelization on the RLE servers would have been significant costs. This problem does not exist when using SimScale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nikola Franic, an AI in engineering expert at RLE, is one of several specialists working with SimScale to develop the new workflow. By leveraging SimScale\u2019s CFD<\/a> simulation capabilities, RLE has enhanced its engineering workflows, reduced costs, and improved efficiency, positioning itself as a leader in the technological advancement of the automotive industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
