Formula SAE Interactive CAD Breakdown
RedRacing Formula SAE project work was a team effort focused on developing the vehicle as a complete system. This case study highlights the aero package and rear-wing support structure as part of the broader design process, emphasizing aerodynamic targets, mounting load paths, packaging constraints, and manufacturable geometry.

Design focus
- Contributed to multi-element rear-wing CAD and support-geometry work in SolidWorks for a Formula SAE vehicle, balancing downforce generation, packaging constraints, and manufacturability.
- Ran structural FEA and ANSYS simulations to evaluate aerodynamic performance, identify stress concentrations, and iterate support geometry.
- Researched airfoil behavior, angle of attack, multi-element wing interaction, and mounting load paths to support aerodynamic design decisions.
