Formula E has entered into a multi-year partnership with COMSOL, designating the software developer as the Official Multiphysics Partner for the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. The collaboration aims to address complex engineering challenges inherent in electric racing vehicles.
Engineers from both organizations will utilize COMSOL Multiphysics software to analyze interacting physical effects, including electrical, thermal, structural, and electromagnetic systems. This technical support is intended to assist Formula E teams in optimizing battery performance and vehicle development.
The partnership coincides with the upcoming GEN4 era of the racing series, which promises the fastest and most advanced cars to date. Formula E plans to leverage AI-assisted modeling, agentic workflows, and digital twins to enhance design exploration and system-level simulation.
COMSOL has concurrently announced the 2027 version of its software. New features include specialized electric motor modeling, system-level simulation tools, and expanded capabilities for building custom simulation applications to support complex engineering workflows.
