Project Overview
 Major organisations in the European automotive industry have seen
substantial benefit from the integration of modelling and
simulation into their design process. Today, there is a need for
more widespread adoption of engineering simulation throughout the
supply chain. At the same time, technology is being developed that
offers the potential to reach a new generation of advanced
applications.
A number of key issues are currently holding these developments
back, including:
A lack of sufficiently skilled personnel and inefficiencies in
their use.
Smaller organisations not being ready or able to deploy the
technology.
Limits to the confidence placed on the reliability of analytical
results.
Suppliers using different procedures when supplying to different
companies.
Researchers needing a coordinated industrial view on priorities for
the development of breakthrough technologies.
AUTOSIM established an international team of leading experts
representing much of the European automotive industry. They
examined the analytical procedures and research strategies. related
to simulation within their own organisations. They then
consulted with the wider automotive industry to gain feedback on
their preliminary findings and to help establish credibility of the
final reports.
