In September, we identified the 7 most important, current challenges of automotive CAE. These form the topics of the sessions of the 10th automotive CAE Grand Challenge. Since the topics were published in October, a large number of presentations has been proposed. For all sessions, however, presentations can still be proposed.
Getting all the cables you need in the car is anything but easy. Simulations can help, but the properties of each cable must be determined beforehand. With the automated MeSOMICS system, carmakers now have the opportunity to quickly and easily determine these parameters themselves - saving time and money.
With the so-called "Automotive Analytics and Development Platform", vehicle data can be recorded via sensors and stored and analyzed in the Microsoft Cloud Azure. The basis for this development is a passenger car equipped with sensors for detecting and classifying the road. The data is transferred to the Microsoft Cloud via the mobile network.
