OBJECTIVE

The technological shift toward electromobility and automated driving means that vehicle architectures must be fundamentally rethought. Car body design must find new solutions, which in turn pose new challenges for vehicle safety. The electrospecific components, such as the high-voltage battery as well as the high-voltage cables, must be well protected in the event of an crash, because damage in a possible crash is to be avoided absolutely. In addition, these components lead to increased vehicle weight, which must be counteracted by new vehicle topologies or innovative lightweight materials. Especially when engineers are venturing into new territory, simulation offers a wide range of possibilities for quickly advancing and evaluating new solutions. The requirements placed on a car today are so complex that they can only be met with the help of simulations. This is because simulation is the only way to understand the function in the necessary depth at an early stage. Nevertheless, the technological challenges also require ever new approaches in simulation. With our simpulse day, we would like to discuss with experts from vehicle safety the relevant challenges for virtual development and highlight the latest simulation methods and best practices. In addition, the space for dialog and collaborative exploration of new methods will be given through the presentation of project ideas.

CALL FOR PROJECT APPETIZERS

You have identified an unsolved simulation challenge?
You already have a solution in mind and are still looking for the right experts and resources to implement it?
Or you are looking for the right experts who can show a possible approach?

Then our Project Appetizer Template offers you the opportunity to give your idea / challenge more visibility to a broad circle of simulation experts. Our primary goal is to join forces to drive the simulation domain forward with innovative solutions. For this purpose, we define pre-competitive project groups with open access for our members if there is a corresponding interest. Our association promotes horizontal cooperation and discussion at eye level for cutting-edge research and technology transfer. We look forward to make your vision a reality.
