Redefine automotive body engineering excellence
A unified multi-physics simulation workflow to accelerate vehicle development
Automotive body engineering teams face increasing pressure to create lighter, safer, and better-performing vehicles in less time. The challenge isn't just better simulation; it's efficient, unified multi-physics simulation. Car makers that continue working in silos will struggle to balance performance, cost and manufacturability.
Join this webinar to discover how engineering teams can move faster, make smarter design decisions earlier and deliver lighter, higher-performing vehicle structures without compromising quality. We will show how an optimization-led approach, powered by intelligent multi-physics simulation, helps engineers run same-day what-if studies across mass, NVH and crash performance, reveal lightweighting opportunities sooner and confidently lock in better body concepts for demanding 24-month development cycles.
Key takeaways for faster body engineering with multi-physics simulation
- Address multi-physics simulation and performance requirements early on.
- Support earlier architecture decisions and faster evaluation of trade-offs across safety, weight, performance and manufacturability.
- Speed up decision-making while maintaining consistency across disciplines.
- Improve traceability, collaboration and development efficiency.
- Explore an end-to-end workflow to reduce late-stage design changes, lower development risk and support faster vehicle programs.
For engineering leaders driving faster, integrated body engineering
This webinar is designed for BIW chief engineers, program directors, vehicle architects, and CAE leaders responsible for delivering body structures that meet demanding performance targets under aggressive timelines. It is also relevant for teams looking to improve cross-disciplinary collaboration and accelerate development through more connected simulation workflows.
