Case Study

“It’s safe to say that Genesis optimization has quickly become a standard step in the majority of critical Pratt & Miller designs”

Corvette Daytona Prototype Topology

Tail Frame Structure

Previous Tail Frame StructureGenesis Optimized Tail Frame Structure

CHALLENGE:
Reduce the weight of the Corvette prototype wing/body (tail frame) but don’t compromise structural integrity

OUTCOME:
Genesis Optimized Tail Frame is 33% lighter, and surpassed Pratt Millers stiffness and strength requirements

Corvette C7R Topology

Seat Design – Implementation of Topography

Important Takeaway from Topography OptimizationManufacturable Interpretation of topography Optimized Hat Section

CHALLENGE:
Meet certain stiffness, load, and flexibility requirements, store up to 1KJ energy, maintain ergonometric comfort for the pilots

OUTCOME:
Met all of challenge criteria, in use for 3+ years, it performed well in crash testing and pilots liked the comfort

Genesis has become an invaluable tool that regularly allows us to cut roughly 30% of the weight out of existing competitive designs without sacrificing the stiffness and strength endurance racing requires”
