Illini Formula Electric

Wishing everyone a happy Fall break from IFE! Our team hard at work finally gets some time to relax, celebrate, and roast turkeys instead of our chassis. We are all so grateful for this team and can't wait to get back to work soon 🥰🥰

Thank you so much to for coming out and visiting IFE this past Tuesday! We had a blast checking out the Rivian R1T and showing you guys around our first ever four wheel drive vehicle. We can't wait to see what Rivian does at with the future of electrification as we partner up and together this year!

Hey Illini! We hope you all are excited for school year as we are! Do you like fast cars? Do you like working with your hands? Do you want to learn skills that will make you career ready in a multitude of engineering fields? If so, Illini Formula Electric may be for you!

For today’s post we would like to thank one of our longest sponsors, . Many of you already know that Solidworks has sponsored FSAE competitions and FSAE teams for quite some time now and they are a big reason many teams are able to design a car at all.

Their industry grade software allows our team members to get hands on CAD experience using a plethora of innovative tools and features. Their UI is extremely intuitive allowing new members to get up to speed on CAD and be able to start working on technical projects quickly.

Our team uses Solidworks not only to CAD our entire car, both the mechanical and electrical portions, but also for FEA to ensure our parts are safe and will be able to withstand the necessary forces while keeping weights low for performance.

Overall, we highly recommend Solidworks for any team that’s looking for CAD software.
