The Expert Dialog
In the last 20 years computer simulation has become an indispensable tool in automotive development. Tremendous progress in software and computer technology make it possible today to assess product and process performance before physical prototypes have been built. Applications of computer simulation cover nearly all aspects of product and process design form crashworthiness to manufacturability.
Challenges in virtual vehicle development
Despite of significant progress in simulation technology and impressive results in industrial application there remains a number of problems (challenges) which prevent a “100% digital prototyping”.
Grand Challenge as a platform for dialog
The automotive CAE Grand Challenge stimulates the dialog between users, scientists and software developers in order to solve these challenges.
The Challenges for 2012 have been determined through a survey among CAE experts in the automotive industry. The Challenges for 2012 are:
- Crash: Material- and Failure Models for Composites
- Safety: Stability and Robustness of FE Dummy Models
- Durability: Hypotheses for Damage Accumulation
- NVH: Vibration Comfort
- CAE General: Robust Design
- CAE General: Simulation Data Management along the Development Process
In the conference one session will be dedicated to each “Grand Challenge”. In each session a simulation expert from the automotive industry will first explain the importance of the individual challenge. Next a researcher will highlight the state of research on the subject. This will be followed by presentations from the software companies involved in the discipline on their efforts to solve the individual challenge. We invite CAE experts from industry, research and software to propose presentations on the above given topics that fit into the structure of the sessions. If you would like to contribute a presentation at the automotive CAE Grand Challenge 2012 please contact Dr. Ulrich on +49 (0) 6023/9640-66 or dirk.ulrich@carhs.de.

Pre and post conference seminars on material modeling for short fiber and high-tech composites:
We are convinced that we will again have a great automotive CAE Grand Challenge in 2012. To make it even more attractive – especially for people coming from abroad - to join us at the automotive CAE Grand Challenge 2012 we will be holding 2 attractive seminars on modeling of composite materials in the week of the conference. As material modeling for crash simulation of composites forms one of the challenges of the 2012 conference we found interesting for potential participants to give them possibility to attend seminars on material modeling for short fiber and for high-tech composites. The seminars will be held by Prof. Stommel (University of the Saarland) and Prof. Pickett (University of Stuttgart) two renowned specialists in the field.
