45 NASCAR ensuring the best race car safety thanks to Ansys Ls-Dyna & Cloud Cost-effective & quick iteration Iterate LS-DYNA simulation provided very cost-effective design evaluation and allowed for quick iteration. This was especially important in the COVID environment, which compressed project schedules and made an empirical-only design approach impossible. Massive saving compared to physical test Save 5,000+ Sim Simulate More than 5,000 LS-DYNA crash simulations were completed during the development of the NASCAR Next Gen vehicle. Full scale vehicle crash testing of a race car can exceed $500k per test. Using LS-DYNA allowed NASCAR to use empirical vehicle crash testing as final design validations, rather than as development testing. Next Gen LS-DYNA car model impacting the SAFER barrier
