PARIS - - Dassault Systemes (Euronext Paris: FR0014003TT8, DSY.PA) and Peugeot Sport, the motorsports division of Stellantis, today announced their partnership to simulate and optimize the aerodynamics of the PEUGEOT 9X8 Hybrid Hypercar for the 2024 endurance racing season, and demonstrate high-performing electric mobility in motorsports that creates value for Stellantis' automotive brands.

Dassault Systemes' SIMULIA PowerFLOW application, powered by the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, was used to create a virtual twin of the car's entire exterior and accurately predict the aerodynamic effects of different designs on performance, downforce generation and stability. Through a seamless connection of its design and simulation data in the cloud, Peugeot Sport was able to evaluate and optimize design ideas. Therefore, final design decisions were reached more efficiently and cost-effectively.

"Dassault Systemes and its technology and expertise are at the center of our design and simulation. This partnership enabled our team of 120 people to collaborate, innovate quickly, and fulfill our objectives," said Olivier Jansonnie, Motorsport WEC Project Director, Stellantis. "From day one, we could easily access and understand the airflow simulation results and make the first decisions that steered the rest of our designs. We were able to achieve 80 to 90% of our development only with simulation."
