Seminar: Crashworthy and Lightweight Car Body Design

article imageWhen developing car bodies, a wide range of requirements must be taken into account. One key discipline is vehicle safety, whose requirements must be met by the car body while observing lightweight construction principles. To this end, engineers need in-depth knowledge of the crash behavior of mechanical structures. This physical knowledge and the use of modern development tools for design and simulation enable efficient development without unnecessary iteration loops. They also need knowledge of the possibilities offered by modern lightweight construction. The seminar covers both of these areas! The seminar is aimed at designers, analysis, and test engineers, as well as project managers and executives from the field of car body development. The trainer is Prof. Dr.-Ing. Axel Schumacher from the University of Wuppertal.

Smart Models in Ansys Instead of Dead Geometry

article imageUnnecessarily rigid CAE workflows slow down simulation: if every geometry change requires manual update loops to correct references, this is time-consuming, error-prone, and frustrating. Ansys Workbench offers the option of designing models flexibly with parameters. But how can you systematically get started with parametric models - especially for geometries?

FEV and Nature Architects Collaborate on AI-supported Development of Innovative Vehicle Structures

article imageUnnecessarily rigid CAE workflows slow down simulation! The internationally leading engineering service provider FEV and the Japanese technology company Nature Architects (NA) have agreed on a strategic cooperation. The goal is to jointly develop novel vehicle structures that set new standards in lightweight construction, functionality, and development dynamics through innovative design methods using artificial intelligence (AI). But how can you systematically get started with parametric models especially for geometries?

Siemens and rFpro Launch New Tyre-Road Simulation Solution

article imagerFpro and Siemens Digital Industries Software (Siemens) have jointly developed a new simulation capability that integrates Siemens' Simcenter Tire software with rFpro's TerrainServer, which provides a millimetre-accurate digital model of the road surface. The new interface allows the MF-Tyre and MF-Swift models in Simcenter Tire to directly interrogate rFpro's TerrainServer surface data and calculate tyre forces and moments for vehicle models. It enables highly-accurate simulations of how a tyre interacts with the road, a key requirement in virtual testing for both automotive and motorsport development.
