On March 9th and 10th, 2017 at the Automobil Industrie Lightweight Summit in Würzburg, it is all about "E-Mobility - New Opportunities for Lightweight Design". Be part of the 2017 Lightweight Design Summit.

In September, we have identified the 7 most critical, current challenges of automotive CAE through a survey among the CAE experts of the international automotive industry. These so called "Grand Challenges? will form the topics of the sessions of the 9th automotive CAE Grand Challenge, which will be held April 5-6, 2017 in Hanau, Germany.

For many structures, buckling is an important design constraint and has to be checked by buckling analysis. Mainly beam and shell structures are subject to buckling. To check the buckling performance a linear buckling analysis to calculate buckling load factors and buckling mode shapes is used.

Granta Design and JAHM Software, Inc. announced an agreement to make JAHM's extensive temperature-dependent materials property data available within Granta's industry-leading materials software, GRANTA MI and CES Selector. The data includes over 2,800 materials (including metals, plastics, and ceramics) and 24,000 sets of temperature-dependent data for elastic modulus, thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, S-N fatigue curves, stress-strain curves, and more.
