When people think of crash tests, they likely imagine a dummy behind the wheel of a car that is launched into a brick wall. As exciting and important as these assessments are, they are the tip of a very large iceberg.
The three-year research project "DNA casting - continuous numerical design of cast components along the process chain", which started on November 1, 2019, is intended to eliminate this shortcoming and link individual disciplines with each other. The aim is to enable a more efficient and cost-effective development of high-performance, cyclically stressed cast components, for example for the wind energy sector or large machine construction.
Simulation software specialist rFpro, has created a highly accurate digital twin of Mcity, a purpose-built facility at the University of Michigan for testing connected and automated vehicles and technologies under controlled, realistic conditions. The digital twin enables vehicle manufacturers and technology suppliers to accelerate development using simulation.
On March 31st the call for papers for this year's Human Modeling Symposium, which will take place on 19 - 20 November in Wiesbaden, Germany, ended. From all over the world we received a large number of top-class proposals for presentations on the diverse applications of virtual human models in vehicle development.
Lubricated shafts, bearings or gears only run properly if the components slide on a perfect lubricating film and generate as little friction, wear and energy loss as possible. To do this, engineers need to know the behavior of the lubricating film in tribo-contact, something that can hardly be measured by experiments.
Application for Automated Design & Optimization of Vehicle Ergonomics (ADOPTIVE) aims at studying physical vehicle user interaction and develop methodology for advanced vehicle ergonomics analyses within simulation tools.
The new automotive CAE Companion
provides comprehensive information about our conferences and seminars in CAE and engineering. On more than 60 pages of CAE knowledge, experts provide valuable information on the theory and application of numerical simulation within CAE-based vehicle development.
Pirelli introduces the latest VI-grade STATIC driving simulation technology as the last element in its far-reaching digitization strategy. The new simulator is equipped with active technologies for the precise replication of vehicle and tire properties and is used in Pirelli's research and development center in Milan, Italy.
Siemens announced a partnership with NEC to develop a monitoring and analysis solution for manufacturing that connects MindSphere, the cloud-based, open Internet of Things (IoT) operating system from Siemens, and NEC's System Invariant Analysis Technology (SIAT). As part of the agreement, NEC is joining the MindSphere Partner Program, which can provide NEC with access to specialized technical training and support from Siemens as well as a number of joint go-to-market capabilities.
Because of the Corona virus, authorities and companies have prohibited participation in events and travel. In order to enable the CAE community to take part in the automotive CAE Grand Challenge 2020, we have postponed the conference to September.
