OBJECTIVE

Simulation has been a crucial element in the vehicle development process for decades. It enables engineers to evaluate design concepts, predict vehicle behavior and test potential problems in a virtual environment before physical prototypes are built. This process can improve design efficiency, reduce development time and cost, and improve vehicle performance. Nevertheless, the automotive industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation with increasing competition from new key players. With our event, we would like to raise the question of what strategic role simulation can take in future development processes? What are the requirements and expectations for virtual vehicle development in the future? We invite all ASCS members to an exciting panel discussion. Join the discussion and get new impulses. We look forward to your participation.
