Help Us Identify the Current Critical Challenges of Automotive CAE!

In preparation for the automotive CAE Grand Challenge 2025 we have collected the current, critical challenges of automotive CAE.

In a web-based survey we want to identify the 7 most critical current challenges from the list. These will form the topics of the Automotive CAE Grand Challenge 2025 and hopefully will be solved following the conference through the cooperation of industry, research and software development.

Please participate in the survey! It only takes 5 minutes and helps us to determine the 7 Grand Challenges for the GC25! The survey runs until 20th of October!

Seminar: Introduction to Impact Biomechanics and Human Body Models

article imageTo prevent human injury in traffic it is necessary to understand the biomechanics of impact. This can be achieved through experimental studies with volunteers or post-mortem human subjects. Mechanical anthropometric crash test dummies have been developed to provide tools for the development and assessment of safety systems under specific loading scenarios. With increasing computer capacity, human body models have become popular tools.

This course covers the basics of impact biomechanics, such as human anatomy, population variance, mechanical properties of human tissues, and injury criteria. Finally, it focuses on computational models of the human body and their use in developing and evaluating safety systems.

Karin Brolin is an internationally renowned expert in impact biomechanics and human modeling.

Tired of Traditional Contact Methods? Try the Third Medium Contact!

article imageThe Third Medium Contact (TMC) is an implicit formulation for contact mechanics. Contacting bodies are embedded in a highly compliant medium (the third medium), which becomes increasingly stiff under compression. The stiffening of the third medium allows tractions to be transferred between the contacting bodies when the third medium between the bodies is compressed.

Gaining Insights into Battery Aging with the Virtual Twin

article imageThe battery is undoubtedly the most complex component of modern electric cars and is largely responsible for the driving experience and range. However, over the course of its service life, it is subject to a continuous loss of performance due to degradation mechanisms that impair its storage capacity and thus the range and power output of the vehicle. These ageing processes can only be observed in real time on the testbed over a long period of time and at great expense. Certain chemical processes inside the cell, such as changes in the anode potential, cannot be measured at all in tests with prototypes; this requires a virtual calculation using a Virtual Twin.

The Best of What's New in Simcenter Prescan 2407

article imageWith the previous release of Simcenter Prescan, Siemens introduced a revolutionary method to tackle the scalability and performance problem of Hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) setups. By providing engineers with an interface to access the sensor data produced by simulation, as soon as the data are generated on the GPU, and simultaneously performing a GPU data transfer to the device under test. This is orders of magnitude faster than conventional CPU based data transfer.
