The performance of the best simulated configuration was astonishingly echoed on the dyno, and this confidence in our simulations coupled to the speed of the system, played a major role in winning the National Championship this season". David Finch (CEO -Raetech) said: "Raetech credits OPTIMUM's Automated Design software coupled with ANSYS CFD and Structural analysis software for the success of our recent engine improvements.Raetech developed a 'ground up design'induction and fuel injection system featuring BOSCH electronics, new optimized cams, pistons and other internal features. All components worked in complete harmony as predicted.
