Introducing Altair Concept C123 - How Simulation Driven-Design is Complementing the Vehicle Concept Development Process
The Challenge:
The arrival of the electric vehicle (EV) has disrupted the global automotive industry. The drive to develop EV’s in ’24 Months’ is an industry mantra and all OEM’s, both new players and heritage brands, need to launch product into the market quicker or lose market share. In addition, in an increasingly competitive market where the consumer is becoming more brand agnostic; products need to differentiate (e.g. increasing EV range without compromising key performance attributes).
The Solution:
Simulation is the key technology to achieve the rapid development of ‘Body-in-White’ structures. For over a decade, Altair has been developing an advanced simulation driven process which allows OEM’s to re-imagine the concept phase. Small agile teams work in close collaboration with designers to ensure engineering input is delivered in a timely manner, avoiding the trap of ‘too detailed, too early’. Altair’s consultancy team has supported many OEM’s, both new and heritage brands, applying Altair Concept C123 process to rapidly develop BIW structures with leading performance attributes. With the maturing of the process, Altair is now assisting clients to integrate the highly automated workflows and software technologies (e.g. optimization, AI etc.) complementing their existing concept process.
Why Should Your Company Attend?
Altair’s exclusive cutting-edge technology (C123) allows organizations across the globe the opportunity to innovate at an accelerated rate, while considering all vehicle attributes. This workshop provides an opportunity for OEM’s to assess the comprehensive nature of the C123 process and associated software and learn how it could compliment their existing ‘in-house’ concept development process.
Who Should Attend?
The workshop has been developed to teach the process to simulation engineers engaged in attribute evaluation of BIW structures (e.g. NVH, crash etc). A familiarization of Altair’s HyperWorks toolset is not a prerequisite.
