Exa Corporation has revealed that its PowerFLOW® simulation tool was helped to develop the aerodynamic characteristics of the Chrysler 200 through a large number of design iteration simulations that would have been impractical and costly to do in the wind tunnel. "We used Exa PowerFLOW to optimize aerodynamic design from day one on the Chrysler 200," said Dr. Kumar Srinivasan, FCA US Manager, Vehicle CFD Group, Aero/Thermal Development. "We chose Exa's PowerFLOW simulation platform to optimize the vehicle's aerodynamics. We were able to capture more data than ever before, run more tests and analyze more variations long before the first prototype of the vehicle was produced."
