Polimi Motorcycle Factory: Racing Toward the Future of Motorcycle Production

Описание: Polimi Motorcycle Factory (PMF) team, established in 2015 by five mechanical engineering students in the Department of Mechanics at the Polytechnic University of Milan (Politecnico di Milano), is driven by a passion for motorcycles. They needed a tool to design and develop a motorbike to compete in the MotoStudent International Competition so they began a sponsorship with Dassault Systèmes to leverage CATIA for CAD and SIMULIA simulation technologies, including Abaqus, PowerFLOW, Isight, fe‑safe, Fluid Dynamics Engineer, and Simpack for advanced design optimization, leveraging the cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE® platform for streamlined collaboration and data management. They have since won several MotoStudent competitions.

Developing an aerodynamic airbrake device that disrupts airflow during braking is one of PMF’s most significant achievements. The airbrake efficiency on straights has been enhanced by the presence of C-wings: PowerFLOW enabled PMF team to simulate the entire prototype down to the smallest details. Another significant game-changer is a nearly 50% weight reduction of the rear swingarm compared with its predecessor, using of Abaqus for topology and sizing optimizations.
