Lucid Motors boosts electric vehicle performance with modeFRONTIER
Performing multi-objective inverter cooling system optimization with modeFRONTIER
Newsletter EnginSoft Year 14 n°3
This brief article summarises how California-based electric car company, Lucid Motors, used the CAE application, ModeFRONTIER for performing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), to test and simulate various conceptual designs for the inverter of its new all-electric sedan in order to more efficiently manage the engine’s temperature while reducing the failure rates.

CASE STUDY
The article focuses on the difference in fatigue behaviour between rubber and metal materials. While metal fatigue is often described by a simple rule: increasing mean strain is detrimental to fatigue life, rubber fatigue is more complex and depends on the material's ability to strain crystallize. The text concludes that while tensile mean stresses are always detrimental in metals, in rubber they may be either beneficial or harmful depending on whether the rubber can strain crystallize.
