Disrupting the

Automobile
Design Process
The more complex the vehicle, the greater the need for comprehensive design solutions.

A

nyone who designs and
manufactures cars for a living will tell you that the job
isn't getting any easier.
Even before autonomous
vehicles entered the mix, automakers
were facing shorter design cycles, higher
product variability, increasingly advanced electronics, and ever more strin-

gent fuel standards. Self-driving cars
only add to these challenges, especially
given the smart roads and cities needed
to support them.
Of course, product designers and analysts have some excellent software systems with which to tackle such challenges. Where would these engineering
professionals be without product lifecy-

cle management (PLM)? Or 3D modeling and advanced simulation capabilities, finite element analyses (FEA), and
all the other tools available to automakers and other industries? There's no
arguing that the manufacturing community overall has a better toolkit at its disposal than ever before, so where's the
problem?

When designers and analysts work together with MODSIM (fully integrated modeling and
simulation) at the beginning of the design and validation process, the result is greater product
insight and reduced uncertainty about the performance of the final product.
