Hi Frank,

And that was 1978 that I did that.  It was a LOT of work, but was used for,
then newly developed, FEM demonstrations.

Regards,

Austin

Wow! that is truly impressive!
I was the first person to use CAD and CAE in F1 racing. It took me an  
age to model the surfaces (that is when I learned to back-up often).  
We did not model the whole car then, just those areas where a 3-D  
model would allow us to reduce clearances in ways which would yield  
performance. The first car to benefit from this was the Williams FW11  
of 1986. I used Calma and I-DEAS software at that time. Williams still  
use I-DEAS.
best regards,
Frank
