Help Us Determine the Current Critical Challenges of Automotive CAE - Win a Ticket for Participating in the GC26!

In preparation for the automotive CAE Grand Challenge 2026 we have collected the current, critical challenges of automotive CAE.

In a web-based survey we want to identify the 7 most critical current challenges from the list. These will form the topics of the Automotive CAE Grand Challenge 2026 and hopefully will be solved following the conference through the cooperation of industry, research and software development.

Please participate in the survey! It only takes 5 minutes and helps us to determine the 7 Grand Challenges for the GC26! The survey runs until 20th of October!

One of the participants of the survey will be drawn and will be granted a ticket for participating to the CG26 on-site or online free of charge.

Novel Material Models Using Artificial Intelligence

article imagePut simply, a material model describes the behavior of a material under mechanical stress by providing the stress in the material for a given strain. Classic models are based on an analytical description and are calibrated using parameters derived from experiments. In contrast, the new models learn material behavior directly from test data using machine learning (ML) methods. This is intended to simplify the modeling of material behavior, which contributes to shorter development times and lower costs in vehicle development.

New SAFER Partner Project: Equal Safety for the Whole Population of Powered Two-Wheeler Riders

article imageThe global number of motorcycles and mopeds has nearly tripled over the past decade - while fatalities have increased by 30 %. Studies also show that female riders and riders with higher BMI face a higher risk of severe injuries in crashes. The new partner project Equal Safety for the Whole Population of Powered Two-Wheeler Riders, funded by VINNOVA, will develop new methods and tools to better understand injury risks and create effective protection systems for powered two- and three-wheeler riders. The focus is on variations in rider size, sex, posture, and vehicle types.

Seminar: Introduction to Impact Biomechanics and Human Body Models

article imageTo prevent human injury in traffic accidents it is necessary to understand the biomechanics of impact. This can be achieved through experimental studies with volunteers or post-mortem human subjects. Mechanical anthropometric crash test dummies have been developed to provide tools for the development and assessment of safety systems under specific loading scenarios. With increasing computer capacity, human body models have become popular tools. This course covers the basics of impact biomechanics, such as human anatomy, population variance, mechanical properties of human tissues, and injury criteria. Finally, it focuses on computational models of the human body and their use in developing and evaluating safety systems. Karin Brolin is an internationally renowned expert in impact biomechanics and human modeling.

New Research Center at Fraunhofer ITWM - Tire Simulations for Sustainable Mobility

article imageDigital Twins are considered a key technology in many industrial processes, including the virtual development process for tires. Their use makes it possible to minimize tire abrasion, wear, and noise generation as early as the product design stage. To further develop these technologies, the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM, with support from the EU and the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, is building a laboratory with modern testing facilities for tires in a specially constructed technical center as part of an ERDF program. The institute in Kaiserslautern is thus laying the foundation for precise simulations and sustainable innovations in tire research.
