Formula E announces COMSOL partnership
Formula E has announced a partnership with COMSOL, a multiphysics simulation and computer-aided engineering (CAE) software.
COMSOL has joined as the Official Multiphysics Partner of the all-electric motor-racing series. The partnership will see COMSOL provide Formula E with simulation software and expertise to help its technology teams understand how interacting physical phenomena influence multiple aspects.
The two parties will also work on understanding how simulation apps and digital twin solutions can make physics-based insight accessible beyond the traditional modelling workflow.
Dan Cherowbrier, CTO at Formula E, commented:
“Technology is at the heart of Formula E, so partnering with COMSOL makes real sense for us and truly enhances our engineering skillsets. COMSOL gives us a powerful environment for understanding complex systems where many different physical effects are connected, but the opportunity goes beyond individual simulations. We’re particularly interested in how AI-assisted modeling, agentic workflows, and digital twins can help engineers interact with models, explore designs, and make simulation insight more accessible as we continue to push the limits of electric racing.”
Bjorn Sjodin, SVP of Product Management at COMSOL, added:
“Formula E is a great example of why multiphysics simulation matters, as multiple phenomena are at play and constantly interact with one another. We are excited to work directly with Formula E’s technology team and put COMSOL Multiphysics to work on these kinds of real-world challenges.”
