In the past decades computer simulation has become an indispensable tool in automotive development. Advances in applied mechanics, numerical methods and computer technology today permit the simulation of complex phenomena of automotive engineering and allow predicting the behaviour of products and processes before physical prototypes are built.
Computer simulation today covers almost all aspects of product and process design like aerodynamics, crashworthiness or manufacturability. The capabilities of current simulation methods in many cases render precise quantitative predictions of the performance of products and processes. In those cases in which this is not possible simulation will at least allow the evaluation of design alternatives.
Despite the progress in simulation technology and impressive results in industrial application a number of problems remain unsolved which prevent more exact and reliable predictions and limit the further replacement of physical tests and prevent the “100% virtual prototyping” in automotive development. These problems include the prediction of material failure, the description of advanced materials and airbag unfolding as well as more practical issues like engineering process and simulation data management. We at carhs.training call these problems Grand Challenges!
Objective of the Conference
carhs.training wants to help overcome these challenges and contribute to the improvement of simulation methods for automotive development by organizing the conference “automotive CAE Grand Challenge”. It is the objective of the “automotive CAE Grand Challenge” to motivate basic research and software development to advance computer simulation in automotive development by solving the “Grand Challenges”.
Conference Concept and Topics
Through a survey recently performed among simulation experts of the automotive industry carhs.training has identified the Grand Challenges for 2011:
- Crash: Models of Connections (e.g. spot welds) in Crash Analysis
- Durability: Influence of Manufacturing Effects in Durability Analysis
- NVH: Models for Acoustic Damping Materials in Acoustic Analysis
- Stamping: Material Laws including Failure in Stamping Simulation
- Optimization: Topology and Shape Optimization
- Process: Model Building, Process Automation + Quality Assurance
Structure of the Sessions for each Grand Challenge
The conference wants to improve the communication between industrial users, researchers and software developers. The participants will have the opportunity to inform themselves about the state of research and the competing solutions of the software providers.
