Use Simulation to Frontload Vehicle Development

Overview

As the Automotive industry navigates its most significant transformation yet, future mobility will be largely software-driven with rigid demands of safety, shorter development cycles, and the need to control costs. How will Simulation enable the Industry to meet these goals?

This short talk will look at why Simulation and Frontloading are inevitable using customer reference and dive into the different areas of simulation and how organizations with a model-centric view have an advantage in this transformation.

Highlights

In this 50-minute webinar, we will explore through reference examples and user stories: 

• Develop a full vehicle simulation model
• Perform fuel economy and performance simulation
• Using the vehicle simulation model for design tradeoff studies
• Generate optimal calibration tables to meet performance/emission norms/range
