InMotion: Charging Ahead Towards Le Mans e-Racing

The InMotion project, a collaborative effort between multiple companies such as Siemens Digital Industries Software, e-Quest, Brabant Engineering - Neitraco Groep, Emixa and the InMotion Student Team, symbolizes our continues support for innovation, inspiration and the right tools in the field of educational projects. For 11 years, InMotion has aimed to accelerate the energy transition in the automotive industry with a unique concept. Powered by Siemens software, the team seeks to revolutionize the charging experience, making it as fast as refuelling. Their ambitious goal is to demonstrate their innovative electric refueling technology by being the first all-electric car to participate in the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Tackling Complexity and Project Risks

The team's mission to race a fast-charging electric car  in one of motorsport’s most prestigious environments is audacious. Recognizing the limitations of current fast-charging technologies, they aimed to redefine the charging experience, envisioning a future where charging is as swift as refueling a conventional vehicle. This ambitious endeavour brought its own set of complexities.

Proficiency with Siemens Xcelerator tools was essential, requiring an immersive learning journey facilitated by Emixa Industry Solutions. The Siemens Xcelerator Academy provided invaluable resources, enhancing the team's learning experience and equipping them with crucial skills. This skill acquisition was crucial, as any inadequacies in technological advancements, simulation accuracy, or skill integration could compromise timelines and outcomes.

Utilizing Siemens Star CCM for flow and thermodynamics to prevent discrepancies between virtual and real-world outcomes required meticulous attention to detail and expertise in simulation techniques. Achieving high fidelity in virtual simulations demanded rigorous validation processes and iterative refinement to ensure results aligned closely with empirical data. Any discrepancies or inaccuracies in the virtual model could lead to suboptimal designs, performance issues, or safety concerns in the real world. Thus, overcoming these challenges required a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies involved and a commitment to maintaining high standards of accuracy and reliability throughout the simulation process.

The Added Value of Siemens Xcelerator Academy

The Siemens Xcelerator Academy played a pivotal role, greatly enhancing the team's transition from academia to a professional setting by providing invaluable resources. Despite prior experience with online courses, the academy offered an extensive array of materials and tutorials, accelerating their learning curve and equipping them with essential skills to tackle complex challenges effectively.

By leveraging state-of-the-art tools used by Oracle in Formula 1, accessible through the academy, the team streamlined design processes, accelerated prototyping, and optimized product performance. This not only kept them ahead of industry trends but also enabled Emixa to respond swiftly to evolving customer needs and market demands. The result was high-quality deliverables characterized by innovation, efficiency, and precision. Emixa's commitment to excellence enhanced customer satisfaction and trust, fostering long-term partnerships and positioning us as industry leaders. Moreover, the software empowered the team to push design boundaries, exploring new possibilities and realize projects previously deemed unattainable. By harnessing the full potential of these tools, we not only met but exceeded the expectations of the InMotion team, setting a new standard of excellence in our industry.

The Siemens Xcelerator Academy has been instrumental in transforming the InMoion team's capabilities, allowing them to tackle complex challenges and exceed expectations. Emixa's unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation has not only fostered customer satisfaction and trust but also solidified our position as leaders in our field. With advanced tools and a dedicated approach, we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible, setting new standards of excellence.
