Bridgestone Cycle used Altair AcuSolve to optimize the aerodynamics and structural performance of its ANCHOR line of high-performance bicycles. Manual analysis methods were slow and limited design iteration. AcuSolve enabled fast, accurate CFD analysis of complex bicycle components, allowing engineers to test multiple configurations efficiently. The simulation-driven approach helped Bridgestone meet aerodynamic targets, reduce frame weight, and improve stiffness without sacrificing aesthetics. The resulting ANCHOR RP9 bike improved athlete performance and was well received by professionals, reinforcing CAE as a core development tool.
