Multiple OEMs join Modeling, Simulation and Testing Automotive Lightweight Materials Conference

May 4, 2017
The New Methodologies for Modeling, Simulation and Testing Automotive Lightweight Materials Conference will address the immediate challenges for OEMs in modeling and simulation and provide best practice solutions for reducing the gap between simulation and testing.

Modeling and simulation of lightweight materials and bonding joints is both time consuming and expensive at design stage. Moreover, building prototypes and testing in crash scenarios adds significantly to the overall vehicle life cycle cost.
 
OEMs must therefore actively identify brand new methodologies to help reduce the gap between simulation results and physical testing data to ensure faster turnaround of vehicle development whilst maintaining complete structural integrity.
 
The New Methodologies for Modeling, Simulation and Testing Automotive Lightweight Materials Conference, (July 26-27, 2017, Crown Plaza, Detroit) will address the immediate challenges for OEMs in modeling and simulation and provide best practice solutions for reducing the gap between simulation and testing.
 
Industry case studies from GM, Hyundai-Kia, Ford, Faraday Future, FCA and many more will provide benchmarking opportunities for attendees within the CAE, Virtual Design, Crashworthiness and Safety Engineering disciplines.
