Workshop: Developing Innovative, Cost Efficient Commercial Vehicles through Simulation Driven Design

In an increasingly competitive marketplace, manufacturers of commercial vehicles, buses, trailers and heavy equipment need to deliver products that are highly reliable while meeting aggressive cost targets. Engineering and design teams are tasked with enhancing fatigue performance, improving fuel efficiency and maximising payload, all while keeping projects in line with tight time-to-market schedules for products that can have numerous configurations.

With a line-up of leading inspirational speakers and industry experts, this free to attend workshop demonstrated how leading manufacturers in the commercial vehicle and heavy equipment sectors are deploying the latest  simulation processes to drive the design of new products. Our presenters will show live how they are utilising simulation technologies to create design solutions that are optmised for weight, performance and cost in an accelerated design life cycle, providing a competitive edge in a global marketplace.

This workshop was for all members of the UK commercial vehicles, bus, trailers and heavy industry sectors, provided an opportunity to learn how others in the industry are:

• Improving design efficiency with industry leading simulation tools
• Reducing the requirement for physical test cycles through the use of simulation technologies early in the development cycle
• Enhancing product reliability through fatigue analysis
• Analysing and optimising the manufacturing process of cast and formed components
• Creating lightweight systems that maximise vehicle payload
• Improving road handling and vehicle durability

• Optimising noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) and sound-quality

Why you should attend

Whether it is improving payload capacity, designing durable products to meet fatigue life, improving noise / vibration and driving performance, or improving rollover and impact energy management, this workshop provides a opportunity to see how your industry is capitalising on the advancements in simulation technologies to meet their design and business challenges.

Who should attend

This seminar is designed for engineering leaders, technicians, simulation specialists and project managers who are involved in the design, development and testing of commercial vehicles, buses, trailers and heavy vehicles including construction and farming equipment.
