Transforming Racing Car Aerodynamics with AI-CAE: RICOS and Toyota Gazoo Racing Development Begin Strategic Validation

RICOS Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yu Ihara) has entered into an outsourcing agreement with Toyota Gazoo Racing Development Co., Ltd. (TGR-D; Headquarters: Ashigarakami-gun, Kanagawa; President: Kenji Terao) regarding aerodynamic analysis of racing cars utilizing machine learning technology.

Overview RICOS will apply its proprietary AI-CAE technology to support aerodynamic development in motorsport. By enabling high-speed predictions through machine learning, the collaboration aims to address the heavy computational demands of traditional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and significantly shorten development cycles.

Key Highlights Accelerated Analysis: Substantial reduction in computation time while maintaining traditional simulation accuracy.

Proprietary Algorithm 'IsoGCN': A physics-informed machine learning algorithm capable of capturing complex 3D geometries and delivering high-fidelity predictions, even for new designs.

Expanded Design Exploration: Faster iteration cycles allow broader design exploration and performance optimization within shorter timeframes.

Through this validation, RICOS aims to accelerate the realization of a world where 'optimal performance can be instantly designed' in the extreme environments of motorsport.
