For the past three years, major players in the European automotive
sector have been working on a joint project to chart a course for
the future role of simulation in automotive product development. Now they would like to share some of their findings with you.
Senior representatives from OEMs such as Renault, Peugeot Citroen,
Porsche and Volvo have played a key role, with assistance from
leading Tier 1 suppliers such as Robert Bosch, Faurecia and Pankl.
Software suppliers, consultants and several prestigious research
organisations completed the picture, to ensure that the findings
were truly representative.
The work has focused on determining what constitutes current Best Practice
, and identifying future Breakthrough Technologies
. This has been done in three key technology areas:
- Integration of Simulation into the Development Process
- Materials Characterisation
- Improving Confidence in the Use of Simulation
A number of future goals have been identified and examined,
including:
- Reducing the Number of Digital Prototypes
- Becoming Faster in the Conceptual Design Phase
- Accelerating the Model Preparation Phase
- Robust Design
- Design-to-Cost
During the webinar, a panel of speakers from the project will
provide a summary of the key messages from the project.
There is no charge for attending, and all are welcome to register
for the event. All it will require is an hour of your time. During
that hour, you will gain an invaluable insight into how simulation
is currently being used in the European automotive industry, and
how this role will change in the years ahead.
Following the presentations, you will have an opportunity to put
questions to the panel.
