Inject Innovation into
Electric Vehicles

by Maximising the Potential of Simulation

22nd October  I Silverstone Circuit, Towcester


 

 

 

Free to Attend Seminar - 22nd Oct, Silverstone

 

In our everyday lives, we are experiencing the impact of digital technology with increased connectivity facilitating the explosion of big data.  Simulation technologies are also developing rapidly. However, product design processes, established over decades, are often conservative and slow to evolve.  This availability of powerful simulation technology coupled with the disruptive nature of the electric vehicle powertrain presents new opportunities for companies to revisit the design / development process.

 

Showcasing New Simulation Technologies

The seminar will showcase a number of unique simulation technologies and processes which exploit the availability of the latest simulation software and computer hardware solutions.  These technologies can predict the performance of complex multi attribute or multi physics (e.g. NVH, crash, thermal management, CFD etc) behaviour products, significantly reducing development time.  In addition, optimisation technologies can be deployed to deliver outstanding performance and consequently product differentiation.

The winning companies will embrace simulation and embed the technology at the heart of their design / development processes to facilitate simulation driven design.  Attend the seminar to understand the predictive power of the technologies and the innovation that simulation can inject into electric vehicle platforms.
