Ansys (part of Synopsys) is excited to announce the Ansys Formula Student Aerodynamics Simulation Challenge as part of the Special Awards category at Formula Bharat 2027.

The Challenge:

Can your team make its own Formula Student car aerodynamically
cleaner using simulation-driven engineering?

1. Establish the drag coefficient of the current car.
2. Evaluate controlled aerodynamic design changes.
3. Identify an improved geometry with lower drag.
4. Document assumptions, mesh, convergence, and results.

The award will be presented to the winning team at the Formula Bharat 2027 Award Ceremony.

Each team must submit their report via the upload portal listed on the Resources page by January 8, 2027, 11:30 p.m. IST.
