  • IBM and Dallara are collaborating on the development of new physics-based AI foundation models.

  • One early model was trained on Dallara’s proprietary and validated aerodynamic data of a high-performance vehicle.

  • Early results show the potential to reduce aerodynamics simulation time from many hours to few minutes and help engineers explore more design options earlier in vehicle development.

  • The companies are starting to explore how to integrate quantum computing in the design workflow and further boost simulation fidelity for complex aerodynamic problems.
