CAE Grand Challenge 2012
3 April 2012
Hanau - Germany
The Expert Dialog
In the last 20 years computer simulation has become an indispensable tool in automotive development. Tremendous progress in software and computer technology make it possible today to assess product and process performance before physical prototypes have been built. Applications of computer simulation cover nearly all aspects of product and process design form crashworthiness to manufacturability.
Challenges in virtual vehicle development
Despite of significant progress in simulation technology and impressive results in industrial application there remains a number of problems (challenges) which prevent a “100% digital prototyping”.
Grand Challenge as a platform for dialog
The automotive CAE Grand Challenge stimulates the dialog between users, scientists and software developers in order to solve these challenges.
The Challenges for 2012 have been determined through a survey among CAE experts in the automotive industry. The Challenges for 2012 are:
■ Crash: Material- and Failure Models for Composites
■ Safety: Stability and Robustness of FE Dummy Models
■ Durability: Hypotheses for Damage Accumulation
■ NVH: Vibration Comfort
■ CAE General: Robust Design
■ CAE General: Simulation Data Management along the Development Process
In the conference one session will be dedicated to each “Grand Challenge”. In each session a simulation expert from the automotive industry will first explain the importance of the individual challenge. Next a researcher will highlight the state of research on the subject. This will be followed by presentations from the software companies involved in the discipline on their efforts to solve the individual challenge
TRA Conference 2012
23-26 April, 2012
Athens, Greece
Website: www.traconference.eu
TRA is not just a conference but an arena which aims at bringing together European stakeholders from all areas of transport and transport-related activities (road, rail and waterborne). A renewed TRA, covering all transport modes but also urban transport planning and mobility as well as co-modality, is precisely what the European Commission was calling for. This will happen in Athens in 2012.
Crash.Tech 2012
24-25 April, 2012
Munich - Germany
Website: www.tuev-sued.de
To improve road safety all areas need to be covered: passive and active safety, as well as occupant protection and partner protection. To provide a target-oriented development a realistic testing and a reliable analysis is essential. crash. tech 2012 will bring these topics into focus.
Fahrerassistenz
15-16 May 2012
TÜV SÜD - München
website: www.tuev-sued.de
Fahrerassistenzsysteme profitieren von den immer umfangreicher werdenden fahrzeugübergreifenden Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten. Nachdem in der Vergangenheit die Assistenzsysteme noch mit fahrzeugeigenen Messgrößen oder der sensoriellen Umfelderfassung auskommen mussten, wird die Verkehrssicherheit und -effizienz in Zukunft dank ganzheitlicher Ansätze deutlich steigen. Denn aus der drahtlosen Car-to-X-Kommunikation resultieren ein umfangreicheres Szenenwissen und eine noch nie gegebene Vorausschau. Diese Vernetzung wird einen enormen Beitrag zum nachhaltigen Fahren leisten.
Diese Tagung Fahrerassistenz legt deshalb den Fokus auf die Vernetzung von Fahrzeugen mit der Infrastruktur. Die Möglichkeiten der neuen Assistenzfunktionen für Komfort und Sicherheit sollen diskutiert werden. Die Tagung bietet dabei ein Forum für den interdisziplinären Informationsaustausch.
Die Tagung richtet sich an
• Fahrzeug- und Zulieferindustrie
• Entwicklungsdienstleister
• Systemanbieter
• Hochschulen und Forschungseinrichtungen
• Behörden und Verbände
