Accelerating vehicle heat protection analysis to find problems earlier in the design process
The automotive industry is going through disruptive changes with the adoption of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS systems) to vehicle electrifications. Western original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) today need to survive the present demands while winning the future with new innovative technology. OEMs are embracing simulation-based design to reduce design time while lowering costs. To be successful, they need fast and accurate methods to capture real-world operating conditions.
Thermal heat protection and aerodynamics are a couple of key design criteria needed for minimizing energy use for improving vehicle performance. This webinar introduces how OEMs can conduct a simulation in days for what used to take weeks, and how the complete workflow from computer-aided design (CAD) to results can be reduced even down to hours.
In the first half, we’ll demonstrate the actual workflow for setting up and running the simulation. In the second half, we’ll introduce how this is being customized and adopted at different OEMs.
You will learn:
- How to implement a heat protection workflow
- Automated data management: spend less time building and more time analyzing
- All-in-one multi-physics: multiple system interactions in single simulation
- Rapid turnaround: iterate easier to innovate faster
- Heat protection in production
- Overall guideline to provide powerful automation with a quick turnaround time
- Custom import of 1000’s components to maximize the transfer of information
- Automation of complex drive cycles based upon event-driven changes
- Automation of post-processing to find problems faster
- Adding a custom interface to simplify workflow and allow engineers to focus on the design, not the process
