Seminar: NVH - Background, Practice and Simulation Methodology

article imageIn order to ensure the long-term success of a brand in the automotive sector, it is mandatory today to have a targeted design of the vibration and acoustic behavior of its products and thus achieve a high perceived quality of the company's vehicles. This functional design objective is generally called NVH Noise, Vibration & Harshness. After vibration comfort has been one of the core objectives of vehicle development for a long time, the acoustics in the passenger compartment more recently also became a competitive criterion, which today receives a lot of attention in the automotive industry. The tasks of the NVH design can be divided into 3 areas: 1. Elimination of annoying vibrations. 2. Elimination of noise. 3. Design of the vehicle character. To meet these design objectives, extensive developments in the fields of measurement technology and simulation methodology have been undertaken in recent years.

Trainers are Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dietmar Jennewein from Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alexander Zopp from RheinMain University of Applied Sciences. Both have many years of experience in NVH gained through their work in industry and at the university.

Simulation Insights in a Click: Scaling Expertise Beyond Specialists

article imageIn most engineering organizations, simulation expertise is concentrated in a relatively small group of highly experienced professionals. These experts do far more than simply run analyses. They understand how to make the right modeling choices, which assumptions are acceptable, where simplifications are possible, and how results should be interpreted within the broader engineering context. As simulation becomes more embedded across product development, more teams want faster feedback and deeper insight, making their expertise increasingly in high demand. Multidisciplinary analysis is now routine, and design decisions rely heavily on virtual validation.

High-performance CFD Simulation with PowerFLOW on GPU

article imageAutomotive and aerospace programs are under pressure to reduce development cycles, control costs, and meet aggressive sustainability and performance targets. At the same time, product architectures are becoming increasingly complex, driven by electrification, advanced propulsion concepts, stricter certification requirements, and higher expectations for efficiency, safety, and noise reduction. GPU-accelerated SIMULIA PowerFLOW delivers high-fidelity transient simulation with faster turnaround, lower energy use and reduced infrastructure complexity.

EU AI Act: What It Means for AI in Engineering

article imageThe EU AI Act's requirements for traceability, logging, and human oversight describe what serious engineering already does. Horizontal AI tools were not built to meet them. Specialized AI for Engineering built on deterministic workflows already does. The audit conversation arrives in 2027, but the security questionnaires from your downstream customers are arriving this quarter. The Act is telling you, in legal language, what good engineering with AI was always going to have to be.

ChatGPT Versus Industrial AI: Why Manufacturing Needs More Than a Language Model

article imageAsk someone in manufacturing what they think of when they hear "AI" and the answer is usually ChatGPT. That makes sense, it's the most visible, most widely used AI product of the last few years, and it's genuinely impressive. The confusion starts when that mental model gets applied to everything carrying the AI label. A system that can draft an email, explain a technical concept, and summarize a forty-page report in seconds is a different category of technology from one that sequences production across dozens of machines, shifts, and competing priorities. The label "AI" covers both, which is most of the problem.

Converting a Mesh into a Brep: A Comparison of Common Approaches

article imageShape generation techniques such as topology optimization and implicit function modeling sometimes output results as a mesh. Similarly, in shape measurement methods such as 3D scanning, the acquired shapes are typically treated as point clouds or meshes. To edit these shapes within existing CAD workflows or reuse them as design data, conversion to Brep (Boundary Representation) may be required.

New Research Project KiMomp: AI-based, High-speed Tool for Regulatory-compliant Part and Component Design

article imageThe aim of the KiKomp research project is to develop an AI-based software tool that significantly accelerates the design of aircraft components. Instead of time-consuming iterative finite element simulations, a trained AI should predict mechanical properties of components in real time and thereby enable rapid, certification-compliant design decisions.

Multiphysics Simulation: Holistic Analysis of Complex Manufacturing Processes

article imageWhen electrical, thermal, and mechanical effects occur simultaneously, traditional calculation methods quickly reach their limits. Multiphysics simulation opens up new possibilities in this area and can analyze complex interactions in a realistic manner. CADFEM has developed a simulation-based model that visualizes key effects, enabling a deeper understanding of processes, well-founded optimization, and more efficient product development.

Simulation Data Management as the Backbone for AI-assisted CAE Workflows

article imageGenerative AI is increasingly being integrated directly into existing engineering work environments. In CAE, simulation data management (SDM) provides the structured context needed to deploy AI in simulation processes in a secure, traceable, and efficient manner. SDM links CAD data, simulation models, results, and metadata across variants and versions. This gives AI applications access to consistent and traceable engineering data.

A continuous Development Story for AEB Systems

article imageModern automotive development is increasingly dominated by one central challenge: How can highly complex, safety-critical software components be deployed more quickly without compromising quality? This challenge is particularly evident in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) such as automatic emergency braking (AEB), where even a minor error can have significant consequences.
